Just been howling at the episode with the 'mermaid song'. Forgotten how funny this show is. Good to see it getting a run on Sky Atlantic.

Any other fans?

Cool. Are they approachable or don't-you-know-who-I-am types? I can't understand why they arent more internationally renowned. Absolute comedy genius.

I lobbied our band to add "Hurt Feelings" into our set list since we now have to add a few cover tunes. I was not successful.

Indeed. So is Jermaine a celebrity bass-player or bass-playing celebrity?

I watched the whole of series one on a long haul flight 3 years ago and been hooked ever since.

Can't remember the name of the song, but there's one they do as a French parody. Has me howling

Love the show. One of my favorite clips:

Rap (Is Not Very Good) - Flight Of The Conchords (Lyrics) - YouTube

"bass solo!"..."bass solo over"

Really approachable. Amongst artists here in Wellington, like musos, film makers, actors etc there's a pretty close knit feeling. At the end of the day they're just kiwi blokes. I met Jermaine when I was going for a walk one day. Got a photo with him and what not. It's so good seeing some kiwis doing well, and making some serious fun of ourselves!

Cool. Their live tour was a sell out over here in the uk, despite no mainstream exposure. I think their writing is so unique and quirky, with the musical interludes adding a priceless dimension.

By the way, I actually work with a close friend of Sully O'Sullivan.

The humans are dead. We used poisonous gasses. And we poisoned their asses.

Those guys are hilarious! I love the date episode with the greasy duck in a bag.
