TV Show spotlight
The trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band who have moved from New Zealand to New York City in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else.
The series follows the misadventures of Jemaine and Bret, two eccentric New Zealand folk musicians trying to make it in New York City. With the help of their devoted but often unhelpful manager, Murray, and their best friend, Dave, they navigate romantic woes, financial struggles, and bizarre encounters, all while trying to achieve musical stardom.
