The wait is over - New Zealand’s much loved folk comedy duo Flight Of The Conchords are finally coming to
Australia! The Frontier Touring Company will be bringing Kiwi funny men Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement to
visit fans on the other side of the Tasman for their first ever Australian headline tour this July
Jemaine said of the announcement; "We are finally returning to Australia. Mostly to apologise." In a buoyant career
spanning almost fifteen years, Flight Of The Conchords has become one of Australia’s favourite comedy and musical
acts, with the band gaining notoriety for their hilarious ditties including ‘Carol Brown’, ‘Foux Da Fafa’, ‘Epileptic
Dogs’ and many more.
New Zealand’s self-proclaimed ‘fourth most popular folk-parody duo’ make musical comedy an art form.
Throughout their live performances the duo picks up multiple instruments, including the ukulele, toy piano, keytar,
synth and a ‘1987 Casio DG-20 Casio electric guitar set to mandolin’ to create the sounds of some of the most
bizarrely wonderful crowd singalongs heard on-stage.
After getting their start in standup comedy, Bret and Jemaine created a radio series for BBC Radio 2 before
launching into acclaimed HBO comedy series Flight Of The Conchords which propelled the duo into the limelight on
a global scale. The series spanned two seasons and earned them a massive 10 Emmy nominations and a WGA
nomination for Best Comedy Series.
It’s hard to pinpoint what has kept the duo from touring our shores all this time, was it band manager Murray’s
inability to get the guys a gig outside of an aquarium, Bret’s commitments to his sign holding job or Jemaine’s fear
that his Aussie ex-girlfriend Keitha would be waiting eagerly for his arrival? Regardless, one thing’s for sure – it’s
going to be one heck of a good time.
Between the incredible songwriting, witty on stage banter and catchy melodies that will be stuck in your head for
days, Bret and Jemaine are reuniting once again for these very special shows to guarantee a night of fun that will
leave you singing about ‘Sugarlumps’ and the epic ‘Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros’ rap battle for days
afterwards.
Come hang out with New Zealand’s best export after sheep’s wool, as Flight Of The Conchords woo you with their
fearless rhymes, tough urban beats and the best daggy jumpers their country has to offer.
