Garfunkel and Oates is an American comedy–folk duo from Los Angeles, California, consisting of actress–songwriters Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel) and Kate Micucci (Oates). The band name is derived from "two famous rock-and-roll second bananas", Art Garfunkel and John Oates. ==History== The two met at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles, where they were introduced to one another by comic Doug Benson. The duo was formed when they started working together to turn "Imaginary Larry", a short film made by Lindhome, into a musical.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Imaginary Larry (Animated) on Vimeo.com )〕 Lindhome is from Coudersport, Pennsylvania; Micucci is from Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
