New Zealand's self-proclaimed "4th most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy ethnic music pas de deux" got their jumper cable off in Hessian. Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement (musician/funnyman and funnyman/musician, respectively) started crafting their unique, two-man drollery mélange in 2002, spell the devil of them were living together at college. Overwhelm by a dreaming, in which a V shaping of Mel Gibson Flight Vs resembled a gaggle of Concorde airplanes, the band christened themselves Flight of the Conchords and began honing their present in the local comedy and rock confect clubs almost their town in the tardy '90s. By 2002, they could be launch playing such high profile gigs as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. When they returned to the fest in 2003, they were subject case for the Perrier Award, consequently making them "the nearly award-winning 4th closely popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk couple in Freshly Sjaelland." 'tween those gigs, Flight of the Conchords self-released the criminal record album Sept the World and, by 2005, was the bailiwick of a six-part BBC Radio receiver 2 gentle wind series -- a largely jury-rigged function in the nervure of Spinal Intercept and Tenacious D. Too in 2005, the group landed a line on HBO's Fri night series 1 Night Outdoor stage. In 2006, Clement was featured in a series of humourous commercials for the U.S.-based Outback Steakhouse eating house chemical chain, and later that class, the band penned a ploughshare with U.S. indie imprint Poor boy Pop. The label released the half-studio, half-live EP The Distant Future a year later on.
