Split Enz - Bold As Brass

[lyricon1963]

Middsyuwe, you nailed it - The whole world seems to have drifted into the corporate abyss with American, Australian, UK Idol and other similar shows producing the instant success that real musos pay their dues for over the years...

Australian & NZ music in those days was quirky, creative, danceable and infectious. A unique style and sound that we didn't find anywhere else. And to think they did it all by actually playing and singing - very little in the way of technology - Brilliant.

I'm a 25 year old Brit checking out some Enz vid's after seeing Crowded House at the Birmingham NEC yesterday. This sort of stuff makes me wish I was a Kiwi in the 70's! Without the Enz there would certainly be an empty House so I count my lucky stars that this band existed.

[kendokunti]

was a minor hit , more popular on alternate radio, one of their good early ones though!

[CRJ127]

Wow, got a lot of these LP's/Singles, awesome tunes, never was sure about the image though.......lol, never seen any of these music video's though, a good hour's worth of footage, Thx JimEAPG

N.Z/Aussie Beatles,imagine if they'd been Americans. They would surely have been touted one of the best bands ever.

If they'd been Americans, they wouldn't have gotten signed. ;-)

[nzoz1977]

or they would have had to have gone to England like Sparks.

[erosromantic]
