From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

It’s business time: Brett McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are getting the band back together and hitting the road!

Flight of the Conchords are set to tour the US come June and July later this year, their first set of dates since 2013.

According to the press release, released by Sub Pop, the Grammy-Award winning folk duo has new material which they will showcase on the tour.

“I’m thrilled to get back on the road with over half the original band,” said Brett of the reunion.

Earlier this year it was announced the pair would headline Newport Folk Festival. Whether their manager Murray has booked them on any UK dates has yet to be confirmed.
