bouche Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS APRIL 21 & 22, 2009MASSEY HALL – TORONTO Doors: 7:00PM Show: 8:00PMNew Zealand's self-proclaimed "4th most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo" got their start in Wellington as members Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement (musician/funnyman and funnyman/musician, respectively) started crafting their unique, two-man comedy mélange, while the two of them were living together at college. Overcome by a dream, in which a V formation of Gibson Flying Vs resembled a gaggle of Concorde airplanes, the band christened themselves Flight of the Conchords and began honing their act in the local comedy and rock clubs around their town in the late '90s. By 2002, they could be found playing such high-profile gigs as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. When they returned to the fest in 2003, they were nominated for the Perrier Award, thus making them "the almost award-winning 4th most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo in New Zealand." Between those gigs, Flight of the Conchords self-released the album Folk the World and, by 2005, was the subject of a six-part BBC Radio 2 broadcast series -- a largely improvised affair in the vein of Spinal Tap and Tenacious D. In 2006, the band penned a deal with U.S. indie imprint Sub Pop, who released the half-studio, half-live EP The Distant Future. Shortly after signing to Sub Pop, the two got their breaks as actors. Clement scored a starring role in the indie comedy Eagle Vs. Shark, and HBO offered Bret and Jemaine their own series. Flight of the Conchords - the show - follows the two trying to achieve success as a band in New York City, with original songs worked into the plotlines. Flight of the Conchords – the band – is set to release their new album later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Douglas just said to me "I have to go to there."Good, you`re staying with me in my suite. I posed that as a statement instead of a question not because I`m a demanding bitch, but rather, I can`t get my question mark to work.Sisters Euclid, Flight of the Concords, quality family time with the Bouchetards and a mini-vacation sounds perfect to me right about now.

peipunk Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 just watched episode 3 from last night. it's gotten so much funnier.I love the band meetings. I feel almost the same....these first three episodes of this year have been as good if not better than the first 6 from the first year. After the first 6, I thought the first season got really bad. This season is back up into stellar territory. "I've got hurt feelings......I've got hurt feelings." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
