Wellington, New Zealand (1998 – present)
Flight of the Conchords is a Grammy award-winning folk/pop/comedy duo comprised of Bret Mckenzie formerly of The Black Seeds, Video Kid, and Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra fame and Jemaine Clement formerly of The Humourbeasts, who met in 1998 while studying film and theatre in Wellington, New Zealand. Billing themselves as “New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo”, the group uses a combination of witty banter and acoustic guitars to work the audience.
The band has released two records, Folk the World Tour, a self-titled album, Flight of the Conchords, and an EP, The Distant Future, which won a 2007 Grammy for Best Comedy Album. A sophomore effort for Sub Pop, I Told You I Was Freaky will be released October 20, 2009
In 2002 they performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the first time. Returning in 2003, with a new show, they were nominated for the prestigious Perrier Award. Also performed there in 2004.
In 2005, BBC Radio 2 broadcast their first radio series. Largely improvised, it features Rob Brydon as their narrator, rhys darby as their manager and Jimmy Carr as a devoted fan called Kipper. Also in 2005, HBO gave the group a special on their Friday night half-hour stand-up comedy series One Night Stand.
Jemaine Clement has appeared in 2006 television commercials for Outback Steakhouse in the U.S. This advertising campaign was launched during Superbowl XL. He also narrates the world famous in New Zealand television commercials for L&P.

I feel like their second album isn't as great as their first one, as it seems like a lot of their songs were written around their TV show rather than having their TV show revolve around their songs. I really wish that they stuck to their acoustic folkish sound, but I still dig the use of weird instruments like Stylophones and Omnichords. Either way, Flight of the Conchords is amazing.

I just did some thoughts around the new album. I really love the new material, all really good songs, good parodies on many kind of pop-sub genres. But.. unlike the first album i think alot of the "folk" is gone, the first album had acoustic guitars on almost all tracks. But now on "I told you i was freaky" the acoustic guitars are much gone. And the production is a bit dry, but the songs and lyrics in themselves i think are very good. They only miss the old Conchords arrangments and production.

I loooooved when Jemaine was talking about switching "booties" to "boobies" in "I like rock the party" because booties remind him of babies shoes. Then later you hear him singing "All the ladies with their babies make their babies shake their booties yeah...." Ridiculous! Anywho, every damn episode is great.

travisishigh, you suck. It's just as good as the first, and their stuff from before they were on that show. The only differences are that they are more popular now, and they had to write those songs for the show, instead of using material they toured with before they had the show on HBO
