Nominees:
4 Emmy Awards, results to be announced.
Winners:
Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album 2008!
With
the massive success of their critically acclaimed self-titled
television series, Flight of the Conchords have acquired a devoted
international following. With
a 2008 Grammy award secured and four nominations at the 2008 Emmy
Awards, 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 success
of their Radio 2 series, a television pilot
for the prestigious HBO
network quickly followed, resulting in an 11-episode series
entitled Flight of the Conchords which proceeded to take the
States by
storm and spawned an international fanbase.
The show offers a fictional version of the lives of its
stars' beautifully ludicrous songs and deadpan dialogue and has
catapulted Bret and Jemaine into the big time and filming for the
second series has already begun.
The UK looks forward to their sorely-missed
acoustic-digi-bongo-acapella-rap-funk-comedy-folk sound. The next
batch of beautifully ludicrous songs and deadpan dialogue from the
coolest and most creative comics around is eagerly awaited by
industry folk and fans alike.
The
complete Radio 2 series and DVD of the first series of the
television show are available in shops and online now, as is the
award winning album. The
second series has been commissioned by HBO.
