On the small chance you’ve clicked on this page and don’t know who Flight of the Conchords are, here’s a quick history lesson: the musical comedy duo got their big break with their Flight of the Conchords radio series, which led to their hit HBO series – again called Flight of the Conchords – in 2007. They’ve released two albums, 2008’s self-titled record and 2009’s I Told You I Was Freaky.
