Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, better known as Flight of the Conchords, will release their full length debut on April 22. And come this May the Aucklanders will hit the theater circuit bringing New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo to select cities. I have a feeling they probably won’t have to worry that Mel will be the only fan in attendance.

If acoustic comedy folk isn’t for you, then maybe you’ll like one of these newly announced tours:

• One for the hip-hop fans out there as RZA will tour under his alter-ego Bobby Digital (begins: 06/10)
• Mickey Hart enlists Steve Kimock and George Porter to join his band for a summer run (begins: 06/06)
• Country music songstress Emmylou Harris heads out to support her latest release (begins: 05/23)
• Blondie regroups for their 30th anniversary tour (begins: 06/05)
• The recently reunited Stone Temple Pilots line up a 65 city North American tour (begins: 05/17)
• One for the SCI fans out there: EOTO hits the road (begins: 04/11)
• England’s answer to Bright Eyes, Lightspeed Champion, lines up a June tour (begins: 06/03)

Before we go we’ve got some more additions to Bonnaroo for you. The promoters announced a slew of artists that will be playing the ‘Troo Music Lounge and the Blue Room Café. Among those that are headed to Manchester are Dead Confederate, Howlin’ Rain, Phonograph, Rotary Downs and Jake Shimabukuro.
