The duo, which runs a weekly show at the esteemed Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in L.A., has been called a female Flight of the Conchords, and the comparison isn’t completely off-base. Like the Conchords, they’ll soon have an HBO show that promises to bring their quirky songs to a much wider audience. Read more...

Looking over the history of musical comedy, from Vaudeville to Monty Python and “Weird Al” Yankovic to The Lonely Island, one would get the impression that having a Y-chromosome is a prerequisite for being able to write and sing funny songs. But don’t tell that to Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome, the duo behind Garfunkel and Oates and the stars of an upcoming HBO series that will bring to life their delightfully twisted slice-of-life observations.

Musical comedy outfit Garfunkel & Oates are side players no more
There is a point during most Garfunkel & Oates performances in which Kate Micucci will declare she was a late bloomer. The candid look into her personal life usually comes sometime after the folksy comedy duo has led the crowd through a kazoo breakdown, taken a knock at pregnant women and discussed where ducks rank on the bestiality scale, all of it delivered with buoyant ukulele-led pop.
As for Micucci's confession, it greets one of the newer additions to the Garfunkel & Oates oeuvre, a peppy keyboard rap entitled "I Don't Understand Job." In the song, Micucci and bandmate Riki Lindhome profess their confusion toward an act of intimacy, but rather than find comedy in lewdness, the pair focus on their own nerdy naivete. Read more...

Not that you'd want to; these lovely ladies are quickly mastering the craft of beautiful songs with enough comedic edge to keep you in your seats.

Meet Garfunkel and Oates: The Female Flight of the Conchords
Garfunkel and Oates, a comedic folk-rock duo, are fast becoming the darlings of the Los Angeles comedy scene – and the gay blogosphere – with their pretty-girl, dirty-mouth act. Regulars at the Upright Citizens Brigade, the duo consists of actors Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci, old friends from band camp who re-met a few years ago in Hollywood. Named after two famous rock-and-roll second bananas, they sing songs about bad dates, and bad songs about how “pregnant women are smug.” Think of them as the female “Flight of the Conchords.” We spoke with Garfunkel and Oates about their band, their music and that strange place between anonymity and fame.
