FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS

Flight of the Conchords is a Grammy Award-winning New Zealand comedy duo composed of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. Billing themselves as "Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo a capella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo", the group uses a combination of witty observation, characterisation and acoustic folk guitars. The duo's comedy and music became the basis of a BBC radio series and then an American television series, which premiered in 2007, also called Flight of the Conchords.

They were named Best Alternative Comedy Act at the 2005 US Comedy Arts Festival and Best Newcomer at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and they received a nomination for the Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2003. The duo's live performances have gained them a worldwide cult following. (via Wikipedia)

Music: Review:Eugene Mirman: God Is A Twelve-Year-Old Boy With Asperger’s

via avclub.com ( 127 Days ago )
Eugene Mirman (Flight Of The Conchords, the book The Will To Whatevs) has always been at the forefront of the so-called “indie comedy” movement—an unabashedly geeky gang unencumbered by “I’m just like you!” jokes. Mirman’s stories are frequently fueled by a desire to call the world out on its shenanigans, and just as often coated with a thick layer of absurdism. His [...]
