Formed in 1998, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement first performed live as part of a five-man group. But the band eventually evolved into a twosome, and they’ve been performing live in stand-up comedy stages and television shows. Their deadpan wit, quirky lyrics, and hilarious stage presence, and not to mention the cult following they were attracting, led to groundbreaking shows at the BBC radio series and then an American television series that aired for two seasons on HBO.

Now soaring high and trotting the globe with their guitar-based musical comedy. They used to describe themselves as "New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo”. Now, they refer to themselves as "the almost award-winning fourth-most-popular folk duo in New Zealand.” Critics and reviewers also got a belly-full of laughs from their style of folk meets parody. They bagged several awards including Best Alternative Comedy Act at the 2005 US Comedy Arts Festival and Best Newcomer at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and also clinched a Grammy for Best Comedy Album at 50th Annual Grammy Awards.
