Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
Let's not beat around the bush.
This band were sENZational! I will admit that I fell into this band as a by-product of being completely & utterly in love with Crowded House... but what a by product it was.
They truly were the peak of both Eclectica & Nu-Wave Pop... a very difficult accomplishment. Producing the highlights of Tim Finn's career & the birthplace of Neil Finn's - Split Enz truly were one of the greatest bands ever.
The spoons, the outfits, the lyrics, the bizzare, the gold records.
