Flight of the Conchords formed in Wellington, New Zealand in 1998 when Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement started writing comedy songs together. They built a local following with their deadpan musical humor before gaining wider attention at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2005.
Their self-titled television series ran from 2007 to 2009, featuring songs like 'Business Time' and 'Inner City Pressure' that captured their particular brand of awkward, observational comedy set to music. The show helped introduce their style to an international audience.
Their albums include 'Flight of the Conchords' from 2008 and 'I Told You I Was Freaky' the following year. Songs like 'The Most Beautiful Girl In The Room' and 'Foux Du Fa Fa' showcase their ability to parody different musical genres while maintaining a straight-faced delivery.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
