Flight of the Conchords is the best comedic-folk-hip-hop band in the world.
They are the best of their type because they are the most widely known.
Flight of the Conchords is a New Zealand duo composed of two band members- Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie. After being a part of the five-member band So You’re a Man, the two broke off as a duo. They have since had major fame on the popular website YouTube. After millions of hits and small gigs, the band made an album. After the album’s tremendous sales and a radio series, the band was approached by HBO to make a television series. The series, Flight of the Conchords, debuted in 2007. After numerous awards and a TV series that had been called one “of the few comedies that is truly unique” by the Boston Globe, Flight of the Conchords is making a second album and is even starting a tour in the US later this Spring. To add to their “resume,” the HBO series was nominated for two Emmys (Best Comedy and Best Directing) in 2008 and were named “one of the best shows of 2007” by Entertainment Weekly. Awards they have already won include: Album of the Year, Best Group, and Breakthrough Artist of the Year…and not to mention a Grammy for the Best Comedy Album.
