Just thought I'd share this band's music with everyone.
Flight of the Conchords, a Grammy Award-winning New Zealand duo composed of
Bret McKenzie & Jemaine Clement. Billing themselves as "Formerly New Zealand's
fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo",
the group uses a combination of witty observation, characterisation and acoustic
folk guitars. The duo's comedy and music became first the basis of a BBC radio
series and then an American Television series which premiered in 2007, also called
Flight of the Conchords.
Named Best Alternative Comedy Act at the 2005 US Comedy Arts Festival, Best
Newcomer at the Malbourne Comedy Festival, and receiving a nomination for the
Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2003, the duo's live performances
have gained them a worldwide cult following.

If you're feeling down, then this will definitely cheer you up. Their music is generally
quite lyrical (they have really creative but funny lyrics) and their tunes, catchy. You
can't help but laugh when you listen to their songs. Just youtube them and you'll be
able to find their live performances as well as songs performed in their TV show. If
I'm not wrong, you can catch them on HBO (channel 60) on either sat or sun. Or you
can probably find the torrents to their show.. I've watched all 12 episodes! It's great!
Enjoy! :mrgreen:
