What the folk? Folk the what? Lost you already? Read on to discover more..... This site is about Flight of the Conchords. No, really it is.

The musical comedy act comprised of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement who, in their own words used to be "New Zealand's 4th most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo". Now they are "the almost award-winning fourth-most-popular folk duo in New Zealand.". This website explains almost all you never knew you needed to know about them.

Latest Conchords News

May 8 2008 - News round up

First up, the May 29 SF gig - June emailed in with the following info on the venue

'Just thought I’d let you know that I called Davies Hall in San Francisco and the box office says that Davies Hall will not be running the hall the evening of the Flight of the Conchords concert. Ticketmaster has rented the entire hall and they will be supplying the staff so Davies Hall has nothing to do with the decision of who is allowed entrance into the show. If what Ticketmaster says is true in their email to you, buyers must certainly be aware that they may not be allowed entrance to the show without proper ID.'

Next, read about the May 5 Conchords gig in Philly on the WTF! forum. Lots of pics from the show posted also in that thread. Read about the Conchords New York shows here

Also there is a thread on the WTF! forum for ticket swaps and sales (at face value plus booking fee etc only). A few people have tickets to sell, some to swap and others are just wanting tickets. Have a read of the thread here and if anyone is able to help, swap etc, let them know :)

A BIT OF WHAT THE FOLK! HISTORY

What The Folk! grew out of humble beginnings. It began life back in August 2002 when I met 'The Guys' in Edinburgh during the Fringe Festival and saw them perform as Flight of The Conchords. Small venue, a cave/cellar and only about twenty people in the audience. Great performance, made me laugh and I was hooked.

By the time I arrived back home a few days later the idea was in place to set up a fan site to spread the word on all things Conchords. And that's what I have been doing ever since. What The Folk! was the first site on the internet about Flight of The Conchords and has grown into a good resource of information for all things F o The C related. It has expanded and we (for I am no longer alone in my Conchords mission) now have lyrics, tabs, newsletter, forums, a fan section, reviews, pictures, articles, background info on Bret and Jemaine and the most extensive collection of Conchords material available in mp3 format out there (but none ripped from their CD) plus some video clips and many other things. And, lucky us, exclusive material and question and answer sessions with Bret and Jemaine.

So I hope you enjoy it here. I am but a humble fan who makes it her mission to keep this site as informative, up to date and as fun as possible for all fans of the Flight of The Conchords.

Many thanks :)

Please don't email me for gig info or booking the Conchords etc as a) I don't have time to reply to people individually regarding gig info and 2) I am not the guys agent so therefore cannot help with booking, iii) nor am I a message forwarding service ;)

I don't enjoy having to write emails telling people 'No' to their request or pleas. So please stop asking! Save my sanity.
