Biography
Hailed by the Wall Street Journal as "the female Flight of the Conchords," Garfunkel Oates is a comedy duo comprised of actresses Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome. The project took root in 2007, when the two began composing songs to accompany one of Lindhome's short films, #Imaginary Larry. Both actresses proved to be fairly adept musicians -- Lindhome (aka "Garfunkel") played guitar, while Micucci (aka "Oates") had studied classical piano as a child -- and the resulting music was light, melodic, and humorous. The two continued writing songs after completing the #Imaginary Larry project, touching upon such time-honored subjects as the arrogance of pregnant women and the mating habits of ducks in the process. Their visibility increased when Fuck You was featured in an episode of #Scrubs (albeit with a revised, expletive-free refrain) in February 2009, and they issued their first recording, Music Songs, later that year. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
