The buzz around the Conchords began at the Edinburgh Fringe Festivals where their brilliant brand of spoof folk music achieved total sell-out runs in 2002-2004, securing a Perrier nomination in 2003 for their show, ‘Folk the World.’ A hit radio series broadcast on BBC Radio 2 quickly followed, charting the band’s attempt to break into the UK music scene, led by their utterly inept band manager.  Written in a documentary style by Bret and Jemaine and featuring hilarious original songs, the series received great reviews and is available to buy and download now.

After two massively successful series of their critically acclaimed self-titled HBO show, Flight of the Conchords have acquired a devoted international following.  With a recently released second album following their Grammy award-winning debut, this guitar-playing comedy folk duo, New Zealanders Bret Mckenzie and Jemaine Clement, are one of the hottest and most creative acts around.

With the US well and truly conquered, the Conchords returned to the UK in May 2010 after a five year gap with a triumphant national tour. Selling out in minutes and earning rave reviews along the way, Bret and Jemaine proved that their lo-fi charm could light up the country’s largest venues, leaving all who saw them hoping they won’t stay away so long next time. In the meantime UK fans will have to make do with their Radio Series (available in shops now) and the DVDs of the TV series, which are also available to buy.
