Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement were students at the Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand when they decided to begin creating music together. After a brief stint in a five-piece band by the name of So You're A Man, the two set out on their own and began to craft their unique brand of comedy set to music.
Flight of the Conchords have effectively used televison and radio as vehicles to showcase their music. They first appeared on television back in 2000, a four night stint on New Zealand television. More TV appearances and a slew of live performances garnered the duo a rabid following. Fans were intrigued by the duo's blend of comedy and acoustic music.
The duo created a radio show for BBC Radio 2 in 2004 and followed that up with an American television series on HBO in 2007. Both series are based on the duo's trials and tribulations in developing a fan base in both countries. Flight of the Conchords were awarded a Bronze Sony Radio Academy Award for the radio series.
Already a popular act, Flight of the Conchords hit the big time with their 2007 release on Sub Pop Records The Distant Future. The album became a big hit and won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.
The duo shows no signs of slowing down, releasing their second full-length album in 2009, with many of the tracks appearing during the 2009 second season of Flight of the Conchords on HBO. This is one hot act folks!
