The Lounge Bar

Before Flight of the Conchords, there was The Front Lawn.



The Front Lawn was Don McGlashan's theatrical music/comedy duo with filmmaker Harry Sinclair. They were together during the late 80s and early 90s (between Blam Blam Blam and the Mutton Birds) and made three short films and two albums (imaginatively titled Songs From The Front Lawn and More Songs From The Front Lawn).

One of their songs ("Andy") is #83 in the APRA's all time top 100 New Zealand songs. Here's a recent performance of "Andy" by Don McGlashan and Neil Finn.
