Ecléctico dúo formado por Bret (no Brit) McKenzie y Jemaine (no Jermaine) Clement. Coincidieron estudiando cine e interpretación en la Universidad Victoria de Wellington, y formaron el dúo de guitarristas-bongo-acapella-rap-funky-comedia más conocido en el mundo anglosajón; en parte popularizado por la serie emitida por HBO homónima al grupo; en parte porque se han pateado medio mundo guitarras en ristre cantando sus letras llenas de tópicos de las pequeñas cosas, especie de monólogos con sonido de fondo.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

A5G5F#5F5A5 One ring to bind them, to find them; one ring to rule them all. G5F#5 (n.C) One ring to bind them, one to find them, A5G5F#5 One ring to rule them ALL... Yeah, little Frodo!
A5G5F#5F5A5G5 You've got to rule them, Frodo, rule them with the ring. F#5F#5 (A5) Come on ru...le them with your ring!
(n.C) Yo Frodo, what you doin' wearing the ring? All powerful jewellery; is that your new thing? I know it's hard when you're little more than 3 foot 4; Your little ass so close to the floor. Trying to lead the fellows to the gates of Mordor. The Fellowship! (Yeah the fellowship), I don't rap about bitches and ho's, I rap about witches and trolls. Just passing on the words of the Elven King wisdom to all.
