Flight of the Conchords is a Grammy Award-winning folk, pop & comedy band composed of Kiwi's Bret Mackenzie & Jermaine Clement.The group uses a combination of witty observation, characterisation and acoustic guitars to work the audience.

Their first major international success came at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where they received rave reviews and built up a solid fan base. In due course, they made a series of adverts for Phones4U in the UK, a radio series for the BBC and, now, a self-titled American TV series commissioned by HBO.

Live performances on David Lettermans Late Show & Late Night With Conan O Brian have gained them a worldwide cult following.

The HBO Television sitcom, also called Flight of the Conchords premiered in the USA in June 2007. The series revolves around the pair as they try to achieve success in NYC as a band and try to develop an American fan base.

In February 2008, the band won the Grammy for best comedy album for their six-track CDEP The Distant Future (also on Subpop/Stomp)

Produced by Mickey Petralia (Beck ,Midnight Vultures, Ladytron) in Los Angeles, New York and Wellington, the album features fully fleshed-out and professionally recorded versions of Flight of the Conchords concert and television favorites. Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement's trademark acoustic guitars lead the blitz, backed by a diverse array of instrumentation and production technique.
