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 wish there was going to be more HBO episodes, but I respect a show that values creative direction over making money. FOTC was just getting bigger when it went out. Classic

The vinyl packaging for 'I Told You I Was Freaky' is soooooooooo fabulous! Sup Pop really knows how to put an album together.
