Get Ready to Folk! New Zealand's fourth most popular folk parody duo FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS are back to take on New York in the second season of their four time Emmy-nominated smash hit comedy released on DVD on 3 August by HBO Home Entertainment.
This is a must have for any music and comedy fan as the show grows from cult to mainstream status. If you've seen the BBC4 broadcast or are a fan of the comedy styling's of The Mighty Boosh, Peep Show or Gavin and Stacey you're in for a treat! The DVD is packed with special features including outtakes, deleted scenes and several featurettes including a mini documentary on the band's pursuit of fame, Dave's Pawn Shop Commercials' and a hilarious dance clip hidden ‘Easter Egg'.
Swine flu rates aside, New York is a lot better than London.
The buildings are taller, the music is better, the capitalists are richer, the crime is deadlier, the beer is darker, the bars are sexier and men/women look much less like they were incubated in a womb full of gin. So isn't it lucky then that Flight of the Concords are offering you the chance to fly out there for a weekend, for free?
When you're round at Kim Gordon's flat watching some Stroke member or another make out with some Upper West Side debutant, it'll be nice to know that it was one of the world's few ace TV shows that sent you out there. (Imagine how embarrassing it'd be if you won a King of Queens comp.) Fly over to New York, City for a weekend to remember.
Strike a chord and get out on the streets for the full New York rundown - Manhattan style. Visit the major sights and attractions such as the Empire State Building, Central Park and South Street Seaport. There's plenty to do in the Big Apple from great shopping in world famous department stores to eating out, and not forgetting the nightlife!
