HBO’s surprise hit last season had to be The Flight of the Conchords, the series about the adventures of a Kiwi folk duo after moving to New York. The success of the show has already led to its renewal for a second season, and now they’re Grammy winners, too!

The Conchords, otherwise known as Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, were awarded with the “Best Comedy Album” Grammy for their debut EP, “The Distant Future”. McKenzie and Clement weren’t on hand to pick up their statue, as they were at home in Wellington, enjoying a Writers’ Strike holiday. But the usually media-shy duo did grant a post-Grammy interview to New Zealand’s TV3.

Season Two of FOTC is rumoured to be slated for a fall 2008 start, but in the meantime, they’re preparing their first full length CD for an April 22nd release. Will a CD be enough to tide over FOTC fans until the new season? I’m hoping there might be a TV special, or perhaps a North American tour.
