Christmas just came early to Flight of the Conchords fans. The entire first episode of the new season has been released online. There’s absolutely no reason to not watch it … right now. Therefore, you’ll find it below. These guys are the one reason I continue to subscribe to HBO. And yes, it is worth the extra $9 per month or so. If you haven’t seen them before, and you like what you see, you can buy it on Amazon: Flight of the Conchords – The Complete First Season

It captures their stage presence perfectly and showcases one of the best blues/rock revival bands around. Lead singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach’s gritty voice and effortless riffs combine in perfect unison with drummer Patrick Carney’s impeccable timing and rabid pace.
This is a must-buy for any serious rock or blues fan – and in my opinion for any serious music fan. This band will prove to be an important evolution in the world of music and every opportunity should be taken to see them whenever, wherever possible. And if you need further confirmation of the impact of The Black Keys, check out this Rolling Stone article.
Unfortunately, it might be that The Black Keys’ days are numbered. Auerbach is releasing a solo album and touring without Carney, who has been focused on his Audio Eagle label. While that may be the case, this DVD is timeless.
The video below is from the same show, but not from the DVD – it has much better sound and video quality.
