Tim Finn's 'Spiritual Hunger'
kimbofo (Free subscription) | 12/12/2008
The internet never ceases to amaze me. So much trash and treasure from my formative years, which would normally be consigned to the dustbin of history, is there for the finding.Take tonight's discovery. Tim Finn's Big Canoe is one of my favourite albums, a little-known gem that I picked up for a bargain basement price back in Australia about 15 years ago, and then played to death -- usually on headphones...

Static Rocks!
H O C K E Y D I N O (Free subscription) | 11/25/2008
In the early eighties I was a pre-teenager. I was alway part of the famous rock group called Static. We lasted probably a week. It was comprised of my friend Mark and myself. We played strictly cover tunes by the Split Enz. We were great and it was good times. Practicing hours on end in his garage was something that I'll never forget. Long live Static!

Former Crowded House frontman Neil Finn has announced that he is getting his old band back together.

Members of the untitled supergroup include Radiohead's Ed O'Brien and Phil Selway,...

The Woods Themselves
lost at e minor (Free subscription) | 10/23/2008
There’s an early Split Enz feel about the music of Sydney indie rock band, The Woods Themselves. It’s particularly evident in the double-tracked vocals and the offbeat arrangements that the group employ. So we checked in with frontman Davey Cotsios and asked if the legendary New Zealand outfit were an influence? ‘That’s so insane it’s [...]

LAist (Free subscription) | 09/08/2008

Liam Finn gig in London, no 2. Alternatively titled I've got sore feet
kimbofo (Free subscription) | 07/23/2008
We saw Liam Finn's second London gig last night. This one was at Cargo, a live music venue in Shoreditch, in a much larger concert space than last week's gig. We were at the back surrounded by a lot of TALL people, so I didn't get to see much beyond the occasional blur of Liam's beard. But the sound was AWESOME and the set list impressive. He basically played the entire contents of his album, I'll...
