Koo Koo Kanga Roo
Bryan Atchison and Neil Olstad’s synth-pop duo Koo Koo Kanga Roo specializes in slinky, mock-serious balladry that’s not only funny as hell, but solid musically, too. The obvious comparison is to HBO satirical songwriters/comics of Flight Of The Conchords, which is a pretty heavy one to hang on a Minneapolis band that travels around the country performing primarily for youngsters. But Koo Koo Kanga Roo’s Animal Death And Other Danceable Favorites and The Everlasting Slumber Party meet that challenge pretty well, with plenty of droll, self-deprecating humor in songs like “Rollin’ In The Minivan” and “Celine Dion.” The duo’s touring in support of its fourth and latest album, Midnight Slushie.
