HBO's comedic duo Flight of the Conchords is out to capture the next best thing after appearing on a hit, mainstream television show – superstardom in the musical arena. The New Zealand duo, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, recently revealed that this spring they are releasing an album. The English speaking team are currently in their second season but aren't satisfied with a hit television series and plan to bound onto the stage with a tour this year. The 33 city trek will coincide with the final few episodes of their show and the April release of their sophomore Sub Pop album, which has yet to receive a name nor definitive number of tracks (but “probably about 15 or so tracks total,” according to the record label). The two men are relatively secure about their “guitar-based digi-bongo acapella rap funk comedy folk duo,” who have been getting coach potatoes off their seats thanks to their hilarious antics and parodies of life on New York's Lower East Side. The men, excessively casual and emo-like Brett and square-framed flannel junkie Jemaine, give the world a taste of the “low life” as they parade around the Lower East Side making fools of themselves. The show is a huge hit as it doesn't limit its audience to twenty year old media-lites but instead delves into the hipster factor complete with iconic transcriptions and a longstanding plot line. As women fall in love with their accents and men dream to have their unworldly sense of confidence (though often it reveals there's a lack thereof), the HBO series is becoming a national pastime, as will Flight of the Conchords tickets, as always which can be found on http://www.stubhub.com/flight-of-the-conchords-tickets.

For fans of the show, their tunes shouldn't be unfamiliar, as almost every episode sees the guys busting out at random moments as though part of a low budget music video. The guy's music is anything but smooth and sexy, but after a few beats watching Jemaine's sweet gapped teeth sing and Brett's skinny little hips gyrating to their awkward rap style tunes, it becomes clear why so many people love them. During one such evening that the two men are hangin', Jemaine sings Bret this song: “Hey there Bret/I see you looking down/don't want to see my little buddy there with a frown/just because I get more women then you/well that's only because they don't know you like I do/sure you're weedy and kind of shy/but some girly out there must be needy for a weedy, shy guy/they want you as the needle as they are rolling in the hay/Bret you got it going on...” Though simple in its acoustic beats, the single, much like the guys personalities, are effortless and every so slyly hip.

A few new singles are streaming on the guys MySpace page, so prepare yourself once you purchase your Flight of the Conchords tickets with a few singles online!
