Yet another Jemaine sighting

I wasn’t sure if I should even post this..I don’t want this site to become stalker central. I mean the guys deserve some privacy. So this may be the last of these kind of posts.. Gawker Stalker has this sighting of Jemaine who is probably now in the stalker-free haven of New Zealand. If you [...]

Fan Club News

Hello everyone,
I received a question from Rosalyn (Hi Rosalyn!) asking if the Conchords had an “official” fan club. The “official” answer is no. I have the blessing from Jemaine to start a completely UNofficial fan club which should be starting up very soon. He also stated that he doubts there will ever be an “official [...]

Thoughts on Episode 10

I’ve been meaning to write this post since Sunday but I haven’t been able to get to it. Sorry bout that. Anywoo, question : Who did not like this episode? Seriously? The episode is titled New Fans and coincidentally the boys add two new fans to the fan list. You can read a recap over [...]

Netflix and Eagle Vs. Shark

Raise your hands, who has Netflix??? Well, seeing as I can’t see any of you, I’ll just hypothesize that there are a bunch of you. Saywhat? lets us know that Eagle Vs. Shark is already on the “Save List” at Netflix, meaning you can save it to your list and when it’s available you can [...]

EVS is Number 4 at the NZ box office

Ok, so Bruce Willis, Homer Simpson, and Adam Sandler beat EVS at the movies this week. Way too much testosterone for me.. I prefer a brilliant comedy with two unconventional characters and a great soundtrack. Does anyone know were I might find that? Maybe if I read Stuff.co.nz?

Daryl Hall loves the Conchords

Ok, I admit it. I LOVE Hall and Oates. Always have, always will. So I was very excited when I heard Daryl Hall would be doing a cameo in one of the shows. We see him in episode 10 introducing the “Flute of the Commodores”..Ha! Anyhoo, he’s great and in this interview with Pitchfork he [...]

Interesting news from Stuff.co.nz

A must read article for two reasons: we find out that the guys pretty much knew they were renewed last month. I kinda doubt this, I think the guys may have had a “good feeling” but I doubt they “knew” with all certainty. But more importantly, we learn that the guys will be writing in [...]

Stuff reviews EVS and interviews Loren

Lots of love coming from Stuff.co.nz. First, Tom Cardy talks to the talented Loren Horsley about EVS. Then Graeme Tuckett gives the movie four stars (out of how many it doesn’t say) in this very positive review and states
There’s something about Eagle vs Shark that is very specifically Wellington. Maybe it’s the self- consciousness, [...]

Ourstage with Demetri Martin and FotC


EVS review from TV3 NZ

Basically the reviewer “liked it didn’t love it.” Which is odd since she says “Eagle versus Shark will either hit the bulls eye for some, or miss the dartboard completely for others.” In any case, she does say some very nice things and encourages everyone to see it. What more can we ask? See the [...]

Watch the C on Current TV

I was lucky enough to view the Current.tv pod of F o the C at Bonnaroo. (Thank you Ellen!) It’s so funny. They give the boys cameras to record what they see at the festival. I wish the segment was longer (it’s 5:39 minutes long) but it’s all good. The pod is currently airing on [...]

Interview talks to the C

Although not an interview per se, this write up in Interview magazine was worth the $3.50 I shelled out for it. Why? I like this photo.
