Michael Cera and Unicorns and Rainbows

Michael Cera and Alden Penner perform at badaboom in Paris

Michael Cera thanks the crowd in broken french for “la grand soiree, la bonne fete, la bonne amie … and leche”

I’ve heard Michael Cera’s solo release, plus some of Alden Penner’s stuff, but didn’t know they were doing a thing together until we saw the show listing. The show was actually pretty good, if you’re into this kind of stuff.
