i was working on two shows of the Finn brothers back in late 2000s and asked neil to play shark attack, he hummed and hahed and said ' we havent played it for 25 years' but two weeks later at the next venue i worked at, he came over, said the band have learnt it and played it for me at Ipswich Regent one very hot and sweaty sticky night. magic.
Tim's makeup in Maybe. This was the lead single in Australia for Mental Notes. So Noel Crombie makes him up as a clown. Another incredible effort by the maestro of spoons to sabotage their prospects for commercial success. Why did it take so long to break through in Oz? Ask the hair-dressa & body-dressa himself.
Typical! New zealand’s first big band and their as strange as that telethon footage! Probably freaked out us brits at the time, so it’s no surprise it took till “i got you” before they truly broke through here, but better late than never!!!!
Only us oddballs loved splitenz....

Amen The few the proud the tasteful freaks 🔥♾️
Nice to hear Neil's thoughts, especially as he hints at what eventually became Crowded House.
Its fascinating to hear Neil carrying Split Enz and showing us a glimpse of his future Crowded House sound.
Thanks Peter. I love your work it must of been amazing times. Thanks for the memories
Eddie Raynor on keyboards... Gosh teared up at that part
Incredible tune to finish with and the looks on the band's faces say a lot about how they felt at this particular juncture.
Hell yeah!! Straight 🔥♾️ This is totally the content I came by here for 🤘🤘😘 Thanks for uploading 💕
Neil always reminds me of Glen Tilbrook from Squeeze.
Way out ahead of new wave - serious musicians who were ripped off by so many like the Cure
Cool guy.
Great presenter. Should have come out then!
Now is better don’t you think 😂

Doing an interview in front of a line full of washing shows an incredible lack of self-consciousness.
FABULOUS...
