Flight of the Conchords full-length coming in April

Foc_l Those of us suffering from Kiwi withdrawal won't have to wait much longer: New Zealand's Flight of the Conchords will release their first full-length album on April 22, 2008, Hollywood Insider has confirmed. The news caps off an exciting year for Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie (pictured). Just last week, the duo's EP, The Distant Future (released last summer), scored a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album, and in August they learned that their HBO show was picked up for a second season. But unlike their TV counterparts, the guys opted to record their proper debut in L.A. rather than Brooklyn or their homeland. Producer Mickey Petralia (Beck's Midnight Vultures) manned the boards, and Seattle's Sub Pop Records will release the finished product.

Ugh...April 22nd is still too far away.

Wut? Wut? Ween? Not 'til April??? I heard it was coming out in January- I've been so excited! :( Oh well, truth be told, I'd wait forever for anything from FOTC...(especially Bret...)

I personally think it should be Black kids, but the concords are just as awesome.

Good band, but they ain't no George Michael.

Why would someone bother to read this article, much less post if you don't even find the band interesting?

For shame, doubleagame.

now, i'm gonna go make me some babies.

Hey Doubleagame, kiss my batootie! FOTC rules all.

niblick Fri, Dec 14, 2007 at 11:54 AM EST

woo hoo - well deserved!

Doubleagame Thu, Dec 13, 2007 at 08:06 PM EST

This would be awesome news if these guys had a chance of being slightly entertaining.

Cynthia Thu, Dec 13, 2007 at 07:14 PM EST

Awesome news! The comedy is perfectly dry and spot-on and when combined with the music that covers so many genres, it's brilliant. The Grammy nomination and the Writer's Guild nomination are both well-deserved for two guys who have been perfecting their music and comedy for almost 10 years. I look forward to the full-length album.

Trazey Thu, Dec 13, 2007 at 05:21 PM EST

I went out with a guy because he came up to me at a party and said "You're hot enough to be A PART TIME MODEL" hahahhaha

But I'd have to keep my regular job ;)

I first saw Jemaine when he did the Outback Steakhouse commercials. When my boyfriend showed me some FOTC sketches on You Tube, I realized that the person from the FOTC was the same funny person from the commercials. I can't wait for the album. It's going to be hysterical.

Sara Thu, Dec 13, 2007 at 01:04 PM EST

Yis!!!! Flippin Awesome!!! Who likes to rock the party!!! Baahhhlistic!!!

I could keep going, but you get the picture. I'm a proud fan and they deserve all the success they've had this year!

It's Business Time! Love the Conchords. Brilliant comic timing and musicality.

mags Wed, Dec 12, 2007 at 09:25 PM EST

So happy for Bret and Jemaine and the great year they've had. They're so smart and witty (and gorgeous to boot!). I love how their songs are more than just parodies--the Conchords really know music. Can't wait for the album and the new season!

emily Wed, Dec 12, 2007 at 09:12 PM EST

great news!! they deserve the grammy nomination, the 2nd season, and the full length album. it's the only show i can watch over and over again. so funny and so musically good.

T.L. Wed, Dec 12, 2007 at 09:02 PM EST

Simply awesome news. Can't wait for season 2.


Wed, Dec 12, 2007 at 06:31 PM EST

Flight of the Conchords is amazing - I can't wait for the release of their full-lenth. Those who haven't heard "Racist Dragon" or "The Humans are Dead" are missing out.
