One of them was an extra on the Lord of the Rings. The other one looks like an ogre librarian. Together they are Flight of the Conchords, and they leave Tenacious D quaking in their boots. Here’s the premeire of their video for “Ladies of the World,” available on Sub Pop records.

  • The first full-length from New Zealanders and HBO stars Flight of the Conchords debuted this week at #3 on the Soundscan charts, the highest debut for a comedy album ever, surpassing Dane Cook’s 2005 release Retaliation. Congrats to our friends over at Sub Pop for stacking some more cheddar. As usual, I slept on Flight of the Conchords for awhile (I can’t afford HBO, man) but finally took the time to check out some of the clips of YouTube and now I realize why people go ape shit over these Kiwi bastards: they’ll seriously make you laugh your balls off.

Proceeds from the sale of tickets will go to support beneficiaries of each participating act’s choosing. Tickets go on sale April 26 at 12 PM Pacific at SubPop.com and all Ticketmaster locations.

    Confirmed performers include Iron & Wine, Kiwi comedy/rock duo Flight of the Conchords and influential grunge band Green River will make a reunion. Performers for the comedy show include Patton Oswalt, Eugene Mirman, Todd Barry and surprise guests. Sub Pop promises more performer announcements in the coming months as well as special guests.

    Tickets go on sale and noon Pacific, April 26th at Subpop.com, Ticketmaster.com or by calling (206) 628-0888. And they’re not even that expensive.
