Musical comedians Flight of the Conchords, New Zealand's self-described "fourth most popular folk-parody duo," performed a live show last night at L.A.'s El Rey Theatre before a sold out, standing room-only crowd. Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement, as their mothers know them, worked through some of their satirical singalongs such as "Robots (The Humans Are Dead)" and "K.I.S.S.I.N.G."-- an activity they practiced on stage, giving feedback on each other's osculatory talents.

During "Think, Think About It", the Conchords were joined by Spanish translators (see photo below) who not only interpreted the song, but also parodied the voices of McKenzie and Clement as they sang. In case you're not yet initiated to the comedic stylings of the recent Sub Pop signees, you can check out the pilot episode of their HBO series at the show's MySpace page. The duo's debut Sub Pop EP, The Distant Future, arrives August 7. More photos below the fold.
