And I distinctly remember being intrigued by their name and looking up to watch. The rest is history.

[size=100:wxrqws7e]And why did you name yourselves ''Flight of the Conchords''?
There isn't really a good story. Other than...we shared...a dream. A vision. [Laughs] Jemaine's explanation will be completely different.
It was just, like, a last-minute thing. We had a gig and we didn't have a name. We had to come up with something quickly. We were considering ''Tanfastic.'' Which is the name of a suntan lotion.

[size=100:uw7qgqc7]Hmmm... Finally, then, what exactly is a Conchord, and how does it fly?

: There is not a good answer to that. We should invent one.

: I had this dream about this V formation of Flying V guitars that kind of looked like Concorde, and I was telling Jemaine about it, and we just ended up with Flight Of The Conchords, spelt like a guitar chord.

: It's kind of like The Beatles, how they put the 'beat' with the 'les'. We put 'con' with 'chord'. So we're up there with some pretty big bands who have also used pun names.

Thanks, Jessica!

[size=100:l2w6a48u]Their choice of band name
‘
We had the name before the terrible Concorde crash, but we were worried that people would think it was a joke based on the tragedy. Which it had nothing to do with.’

‘
I think some people did think that. But we soldiered on with it.’

‘
We just didn’
t play in Paris.’

Can you tell me how you came up with the title "
Flight of the Conchords"
? What does it mean?

:#jem#: : We always avoid [answering this], but it's actually the toilet at the frat we lived at. It was a Conchord. That really invites some bad headlines for reviews, doesn't it? Please don't take advantage of that.

Which interview is it from? :#pray#:

sargifster wrote:[url=Link is here][/url]. I can't point you to the thread on the board for the interview at the moment, as it is hidden. The interview in the thread is longer than this one here, but I can't find the original source with the longer one.

I may attempt to make the smiley... although Rachel and Phoebe are doing a good job.

For some reason when I very first heard the name Flight of the Conchords, I thought it was like some sort of 70's rock band .
