Are YourSpace project Britain’s answer to Flight of the Conchords?

YourSpace Project, the group of local musicians responsible for the recent YouTube success of comedy music video, Branksome, are now looking to become Britain’s answer to New Zealand comedy duo Flight of the Conchords, stars of their own BBC show.

Fraser Bennett, 25, a music producer who has lived in quiet Branksome all his life, and his friends Hugo Farrant and Matt Karsenti hope they can build on their success and emulate The Conchords, despite admitting to having never heard of the New Zealanders before making Branksome.

Fraser, aka ‘Frazer Freeze’, says: “We’d honestly never seen or heard of them until recently when someone saw our video and said we were like them, so we started watching all their stuff. They’re amazing and we’d love to be able to do things like that.”

Here’s their video – what do you think?
