Not something that a slaphead like me normally suffers from

I'd almost forgotten this forerunner of Crowded House ever existed, then I heard Six Months In A Leaky Boat on the radio. Wonderful stuff!

The Finn brothers are still performing.
There's a tourist trail in their home town of Te Awamutu....lol

they made 3 great lps i know that,2 i recall were called mental notes ,dizrthymeia.

Plus the album " True colours" from whence the great " I got you" came from.

I am a Split Enz nut and saw them in 1977 in the loudest concert what I ever was at. Their first album 'Mental Notes' came out late in 1975 and but was recorded in Melbourne and the quality wasn't quite there. The whole album was mostly repeated on their second effort 'Second Thoughts' which was done in London the following year. Phil Manzanera produced it this time and its better, but I still play both quite often.

Phil Judd left the band soon after and although they went on to make some great stuff, I dont think they were ever as clever as with Judd in there. And I cant recall any band going to as much trouble to look as strange as they.

yeah a good 1 too reminds me of the summer of 1980 meeting all the yorkshire ladies.

a very underated band shades of crosby stills nash and lennon in certain songs i recall in the 90s on ch 4 i recorded their concert which was a charity gig for a sick childrens hospital,iwish it was repeated now.
