TAG: THE DISTANT FUTURE
Flight of the Conchords Screening Parties! chrisj

In addition to being “New Zealand’s fourth most popular folk-comedy duo,” and on top of the fact that they are signed to a recording contract with the world famous Sub Pop Records (the very record label with whom they have pledged to release not only an EP later this very summer, but also a full-length record at some as yet to be determined time in the not too distant (and in fact hopefully before the end of this year) future) Flight of the Conchords are soon to be, in the parlance of our times, kind of a big deal. This is happening largely due to the June 17th premiere of their new HBO comedy series entitled, somewhat mysteriously, Flight of the Conchords . The show is being described as “A new comedy series that makes love to your ears.” And while, sure, that sounds maybe a little gross, what we’ve seen of the show is really very funny.
What’s more, the folks at HBO, along with the folks at Cornerstone have put together some free screenings of the first episode!

This Sunday, June 17th is the premiere episode of Flight of the Conchords’ new HBO series. It’s on at 10:30 pm (aka Entourage) and you should watch it! You should watch it because is is very funny, and also because we hope this show will be very popular and we will sell just obscene quantities of their as-yet-untitled forthcoming album due out in October and also perhaps less than obscene but hopefully at least filthy amounts of their new EP…
Flight of the Conchords won a damn Grammy! chrisj

Somewhat unbelievably, though no less deservedly, Flight of the Conchords won an actual Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album the other night! For a record (The Distant Future) that we, here at Sub Pop, released!
Whoa!
Ever since David Cross’s Shut Up, You Fucking Baby lost to Weird Al’s Poodle Hat album back in ‘04, we kinda figured we’d never win one. But, maybe David just shouldn’t have used the word “Fucking” in the title of his album?
Anyhoo, congratulations on your Grammy…
One new Flight of the Conchords song every week! chrisj

Season 2 of the Flight of the Conchords HBO TV show begins this Sunday night, January 18th! And, in a radical, full-body, immodest embrace of modern technology, we will be releasing, through the iTunes music store, one song from each episode on the Monday morning after that episode airs!
So, for example, on Monday, January 19th, you will be able to purchase the Flight of the Conchords song [spoiler alert!] “Angels,” from the previous night’s Season 2 premiere.
It’s what we’re calling…
