Hard 'n Phirm were a comedy/parody musical duo from Los Angeles, California consisting of members Chris Hardwick & Mike Phirman. The duo began performing together at UCLA in 1994 but would eventually break up in 1997, only to reunite 7 years later in 2004 and resume performing for another 5 years — ultimately breaking up for good in 2009. After the success of their song "Rodeohead" (a bluegrass-style medley of Radiohead covers), the duo released what would turn out to be their first and only album: Horses and Grasses — featuring their song "Pi," which had gained popularity from its music video, directed by Keith Schofield.
