Artist: Flight of the Conchords

We've got to hand it to Neko Case . Over the last decade-plus she's somehow managed to balance recording and touring not only as a member of the fantastic indie-pop act The New Pornographers , but also on her own as a solo act. On September 3, the redheaded chanteuse will release her latest studio effort with the emotionally wrought title of  The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You via ANTI Records. Case, who's is looking to follow the success of her 2009 record [...]

Would you dig into your savings account for some [...]

You can do anything with a bike... Even make music! The Barr Brothers photo by Jim Bennett It’s time again for Friday on My Mind , our weekly blog post where we look at videos centered around one common theme. This is a collaborative effort between KEXP and King 5 News. May is officially National Bike to Work Month. There have been events taking place all month that have been designed to help motivate people to get on their bikes. Bike to Work Day originated in 1956 and was started by [...]

Today we flash back on another of our favourite labels: SUB POP RECORDS . They're responsible for the careers of a diverse range of bands, from Nirvana to  Dum Dum Girls   to our very own  Husky . And they're celebrating 25 years in the business on July 13.  That means that they've been around since 1988. Before that founder Bruce Pavitt started a fanzine called  Subterranean Pop about American independent artists and their labels. He started releasing compilations [...]

Last week's installment of  Game of Thrones  capped off its cliffhanger ending with a rollicking Hold Steady cover of " The Bear and the Maiden Fair ," the medieval drinking song debuted earlier in the episode. The track, along with its Season 2 predecessor "The Rains of Castamere," was a reminder that while film traditionally gets the lion's share of star-powered soundtracks ("Skyfall," anyone?) a number of prominent artists have lent their talents to crafting quality tunes for the small screen — and not just theme songs, either. Here are some of the best original tracks written and recorded by some of [...]

More Bowie! The Next Day is almost upon us and Bowie has played us like a boss. Here are four things today's bands can learn from the freaky bastard ©  Flight of the Conchords . Oh, and the album is rather good ( if I may say so myself ). Facebook are at it again . Steel yourselves as over the next few weeks, Facebook hopes to make it easier to control the content appearing in the News Feed. Initial reactions draw comparisons with the Google+ layout and, encouragingly, [...]

Each day this week, in anticipation of the deadline for voting on the Festive Fifty 2012 Shortlist , I'll be listening to the Contrast Podcast Festive Fifties of yore (2012's will be the 6th!) and trying to track down the videos of the Top 5! By the 2nd year of the Festive Fifty, I was ready. I had my list set to go before the call came for submissions and I even knew a lot of the songs on the shortlist! This was the year when I actually found new bands to [...]

Gotta love some new Flight of The Conchords action. Gotta love the kids cracking up their stone-faces. Gotta love the endless stream of unknown Kiwi celebs that actually include TBE alums Kids of 88 and The Phoenix Foundation .

Jens Lekman's new record I Know What Love Isn't is out this week, and on the whole it's a pretty morose affair, as befits its status as a breakup album. Still, even on a record this subdued, Lekman's signature humor can't help but shine through, despite the fact that he's left some of his funniest recent songs (namely "Waiting for Kirsten" and "An Argument With Myself") off the tracklisting. The fact that Lekman's songs are often as witty as they are moving is something that we've always liked about him — after all, love is frequently as bewildering, ridiculous, [...]

In support of Red Nose Day - the celebratory fundraiser day for British charity, Comic Relief - Murray inked a deal for the Conchords to get back to work and collaborate on a charity song for sick kids. After about nine and half minutes working with some funny little New Zealanders, Brett and Jermaine pieced together a nice little sing-along. Not their best work, but good to see them shake off the rust.

In probably the greatest collaboration of artists since Band Aid , Flight of the Conchords decided to take it upon themselves to use their musical talent to fight for a cause that really matters, to "Feel Inside (And Stuff Like That)". Now I know it may be a little confusing as to what that actually means, and quite honestly after listening to the song with the lyrics posted I still really don't understand as to what exactly they are fighting for. Not to mention that quite a bit of what is being discussed in the song is [...]

Flight Of The Conchords have reunited to release a new charity single called Feel Inside (And Stuff Like That) . Since Jermaine Clement and Brett McKenzie stopped making their Flight Of The Conchords show in 2009, both stars have gone on to achieve individual success in Hollywood, with Clement starring in this year's Men In Black 3 and McKenzie writing the Oscar winning soundtrack to last year's [...]

New Zealand's "fourth most popular musical act" Flight of the Conchords reunited Friday (Aug. 24) for Australia's Red Nose Day , which helps raise funds for sick children. The musical comedy duo teamed up for a sketch and the new song "Feel Inside (And Stuff Like That)" which features lyrics like "There must be something we can do / to stop these kids from doing spews." The song ends a hiatus that began in 2009 once the second (and final season) of their eponymous HBO show ended. Even [...]

It's been more than three years since their HBO show ended and now, at long last, Jemaine ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ watch-flight-of-the-conchords- write-perform-charit/68372/

photo by Kyle Johnson New Zealand's fourth most popular comedy folk duo Flight of the Conchords hadn't produced any new material (visual, musical, or otherwise) since their 2009 hiatus, but this weekend, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie teamed up to release a video for Red Nose Day: Comedy for Cure Kids. In the video (which you can watch below), the pair visit a New Zealand classroom where they test the students' knowledge on subjects like health and banking before breaking out into a new song, "Feel Inside (and Stuff Like That)". The [...]

J'ai connu Flight Of The Conchords il y a quelques années grâce à des amis en voyage au pays des kangourous. C'est un duo d'humoriste néo-zélandais qui pratiquent un humour qui nous est plutôt étranger chez nous et qui mélange aussi musique et chant. Après une émission qui cartonnait mais qui s'est arrêtée en 2009 ainsi qu'un album hilarant, ils reviennent pour un évènement exceptionnel. Ils se reforment afin de soulever des fonds pour une association caritative dont le but est de soigner des enfants malades. Cette vidéo est à prendre au second degré, on peut y voir les [...]

Even though Flight of The Conchords is no longer a televisions show it's still one of my go to series to watch on DVD when I need to roll on the floor laughing so it brings me great joy to let you know that the duo have recorded and track and video for Cure Kids , a New Zealand charity that raises money to help find cures for children. I'm not exactly sure how one would go about making a donation if they weren't in New Zealand but I'm sure that they would not decline if one was to [...]
