The Flight of the Conchords are a Folk / Pop / Comedy duo comprising of Bret McKenzie of The Black Seeds fame and Jemaine Clement of The Humourbeasts. Billing themselves as "New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo", the group depends upon a combination of witty banter and acoustic guitars to work the audience. The band have released one record, ''Folk The World Tour - Live Album''. In 2002 they performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the first time. Returning in 2003, with a new show, they were nominated for the prestigious Perrier Award. Also performed there in 2004. In 2005 , BBC Radio 2 broadcast their first radio series. Largely improvised, it features Rob Brydon as their narrator, Rhys Darby as their manager and Jimmy Carr as a devoted fan called Kipper. Also in 2005, HBO gave the group a special on their Friday night half-hour Stand-up Comedy series One Night Stand . Jemaine Clement has appeared in 2006 television commercials for Outback Steakhouse in the U.S. This advertising campaign was launched during Superbowl XL . EXTERNAL LINKS
