Flight of the Conchords is a New Zealand-based comedy band composed of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. Their unique blend of comedy and music has garnered them international acclaim. They gained popularity through their BBC radio series and later, an American television series on HBO. With their witty lyrics and catchy tunes, Flight of the Conchords has become a household name in the world of comedy music.

The duo humorously referred to themselves as "New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo." Despite this self-deprecating title, they have managed to capture the hearts of fans worldwide with their hilarious performances. Today, they proudly hold the title of being "the almost award-winning fourth-most-popular folk duo in New Zealand."

If you enjoy Flight of the Conchords' unique style, you may also appreciate similar artists such as Jonathan Coulton, The Lonely Island, Stephen Lynch, Tim Minchin, Monty Python, Garfunkel and Oates, Tom Lehrer, "Weird Al" Yankovic, David Brent, Da Vinci's Notebook, Electric Six,Richard Cheese , Adam Sandler , Jon Lajoie , They Might Be Giants , The Axis of Awesome , Tenacious D , Starbomb or The Presidents Of The United States Of America.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

Reissue! Flight Of The Conchords 'Flight Of The Conchords': Acclaimed Kiwi novelty band Flight Of The Conchords followed the release of their six-track Grammy Award-nominated CD EP 'The Distant Future' with their full length record album debut, the conveniently titled 'Flight Of The Conchords' (which, not at all coincidentally is also the name of their HBO television series). Still going strong, with their cult comedy continuing to sell out arenas.
