Garfunkel and Oates reveal need for job training
Give Rikki Lindhome and Kate Micucci a hand.
As Garfunkel and Oates, a musical comedy act comparable to Flight of the Conchords, Rikki Lindhome and Kate Micucci swing by The Laughing Skull March 9-10, partly in support of their new album, Slippery When Moist. Their latest recording presents the duo's usual assortment of sprightly, at times shockingly raunchy songs. Some simply examine awkward situations, like "Hey Girl in the Moonlight," which wonders just where you're supposed to look when someone's serenading you, or "My Apartment's Very Clean Without You," a winsome take on a break-up song. As you might expect from its title, "Handjob, Blandjob, I Don't Understand Job" proves to be the most graphic track on the record. The only downside to Slippery When Moist is that, at less than 30 minutes, it's a little short, so given the choice, catching their live act might give you more value for the money.
