Flight of the Conchords

by Bret McKenzie (Author/Narrator), Jemaine Clement (Author/Narrator), Rhys Darby (Narrator)

'Hello, I'm Rob Brydon. Join me on an exciting musical journey in the company of a band who have come to mean an awful lot to me. They're probably my fourth, or maybe even third, favourite novely music act - Flight of the Conchords.' Flight of the Conchords are Bret McKenzie (guitar and vocals) and Jemaine Clement (vocals and guitar) and they're New Zealand's fourth best guitar-based jazz, techno hip-hop duo. In this series, we follow their attempts to crack the UK’s novelty music scene with songs such as 'Frodo, Don’t Wear the Ring (Magical Bling Bling)'; 'Fudafafa'; 'Hiphopapotamus' and 'Think About It (Think, Think About It)'. The Conchords have travelled the world and become one of the best-loved double acts on the circuit. Having secured the talents of Rob Brydon, Daniel Kitson, Greg Proops, Nina Conti, Rhys Darby and Neil Finn, they can - for the first time - tell their story...

I'm a big FotC fan, and can imagine this would have been hysterical before the HBO TV show aired, but you may find it a bit of a disappointing, less polished / inferior re-tread if you listen to this after having seen the TV show first, as I did. Still, one for the completionists, and there are of course laughs to be had.

I love the Conchords so I cant believe it took me so long to listen to this. If you've seen their excellent HBO show then this is essentially a pilot run for the ideas that they later expand and refine to comedic excellence.

Very funny, songs are excellent as usual, I could have done without Rob Brydon as the narrator though!

Total genius. Few things come close to being as perfect as the Conchords.

hard to say it was read, but it was like an audio book, awesome!!

I love these two so much and I love the difference between this being set in London and the TV series in the US. Rob Bydon is an amazing narrator and Rhys Darby is amazing as always!
