Flight of the Conchords

'What the Folk! Folk the what? Lost you already?'

Jemaine Clement, a standout from American Outback Steakhouse commercials, and his partner Bret McKenzie bring their musical comedy act to HBO next month.

Premise: "Bret and Jemaine have moved to New York in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else."

HBO's new comedy series, Flight of the Conchords premieres June 17th. Hilarious.

The duo will also perform at Bumbershoot over Labor Day.
