Flight of the Conchords Perform New Song “Father and Son” on Late Show

Flight of the Conchords, New Zealand’s “fourth most popular folk duo,” are making their comeback. Members Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie appeared on the “Late Show” Monday night to perform their new song, “Father and Son,” and also to plead for a dinner with Prime Minister, Jacinda Adern.

Clement and McKenzie explained to Stephen Colbert that they’ve been busy since their HBO show wrapped in 2009, but they’re returning to HBO with a special in October. They also said that they enjoy being in New Zealand because no one cares who they are there. In fact, they said that the only people who get excited to see them in Wellington are tourists.

 

Upon learning that Ardern would be appearing on the “Late Show” on Wednesday, McKenzie asked, “Why don’t you ask her to ask us if we can come around for dinner, maybe at her place?”

Colbert said, “Camera 3 — right there. Just ask her.” McKenzie and Clement looked straight at the camera, and McKenzie opened, “Hi Jacinda.” Clement said, “We have an important question for you: Can we come for dinner?” The duo later played their new song, a dark duet about “a guy and his little guy” and a man named Trevor.

Kelly Tucker: Originally from Los Angeles, I grew up listening to all types of music. My first concert was Aerosmith with Skid Row, then moved on to concerts with Metallica, Lollapalooza, Guns N’ Roses, Soundgarden and more. One of my favorite shows of all time was when I was in college and someone took me to see the Allman Brothers play. I also scalped a ticket to see Pearl Jam and the amazing Eddie Vedder sing his heart out. My professional career started in 2000 at Nielsen Business Media where I was an assistant in a sales department and later got promoted to advertising account executive. When the recession hit in 2008 and the magazine was sold, I took a job at a call center and later got promoted to assistant to the CEO and COO of a global company. In 2017, I took a position at a pharmaceutical agency, and now currently responsible for coordinating meeting logistics for physicians and pharma reps throughout the United States. In my spare time, I work at Peace4Kids a non-profit in South Los Angeles and write screenplays in hopes to make a breakthrough.
