Wellington, New Zealand natives Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement are Flight of the Conchords. The duo first began to hone their two-man music and comedy act in 2002 while they were college roommates and was inspired by a dream in which a V formation of Gibson flying Vs reminded them of a group of Concorde airplanes to name their act Flight of the Conchords. Hailing themselves the “4th most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo” in New Zealand, Flight of the Conchords scored a high-profile gig at the 2002 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the following year returned and were nominated for the Perrier Award. In 2005 Flight of the Conchords took a break from performing to record their debut album and released Folk the World. The album landed in the hands of the folks at the BBC, who created a six-part BBC Radio 2 broadcast series about Bret and Jermaine which was similar to improvisational acts Spinal Tap and Tenacious D.

Flight of the Conchords career continued its upward trajectory when Jermaine appeared in a string of hilarious television commercials for the U.S.-based Outback Steakhouse restaurant chain and then the duo appeared on HBO’s Friday night series One Night Stand. In 2006 indie record label Sub Pop singed Flight of the Conchords and issued the half-studio, half-live The Distant Future EP the following year to critical acclaim (the album also earned the duo a Grammy for Best Comedy Album). After Bret and Jermaine scored solo acting gigs, HBO signed The Flight of the Conchords on and their eponymous series surfaced in June 2006. A self-titled album appeared in 2008 and the duo reprised their HBO role on Flight of the Conchords, which is currently in its second season.
