They are so complex

Don’t you just love when you learn through reading? For instance, in this article we learn that Bret and Jemaine are complex individuals. We also learn New Zealand had plenty of firsts:

“FIRST: WOMEN IN GOVERNMENT
The only country ever to have women in all top government offices simultaneously (March 2005 to August 2006), NZ is truly p-whipped.”

Isn’t that interesting?

Anyhow, I am more intrigued by this comment from Jemaine

“The bigger the Conchords get, the harder it may be to believe their “starving artist” shtick. “When we started, we didn’t have any following at all,” remembers Clement. “We’d say, ‘When you parody folk music, you find a lot of women want you.’ People were going, ‘Yeah, sure guys.’ Now we say, ‘We’ll meet the girls over there,’ and actually get some girls to do that. The first time we pulled that off, I couldn’t believe it.” Like we said, they’re not actually a band.”

What exactly are the girls doing? Hmm… maybe it’s best not to ask.
