Love hearing about people who were not backed by the establishment but had enough faith in their own talent to keep pushing. A massive congrats to Flight of the Conchords on winning a Grammy.
from the news
Flight of the Conchords, the New Zealand comedy folk duo who have had a runaway success with their HBO show of the same name, are among the few New Zealanders to ever win a Grammy award.
Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement won best comedy album for their EP The Distant Future.
The Conchords were both avoiding the limelight today and did not attend the ceremony. They stayed in New Zealand because the writer's strike has delayed production of their second series.
The debut full-length album from Flight of the Conchords is due to be released in April on the ultra cool US record label SubPop.
