Neil Finn

[The Red Telephone]

Would love to see Neil Finn play next year for some late-afternoon loveliness. Don't think he's played since Crowded House played in 2008?

Anyway, I asked him on Twitter if he's playing next year and his response was:

Can put him down as a TBC then

Wildly out of sync, but I love this video

Would rather have a Crowded House reunion but still be a good shout. 

Midnight Oil reunion next year, if going for eighties Down Under bands. Park Stage? Or perhaps Other, couldn't see a crowd of more than 5000 wherever for them.

The estimable Mr. Finn was interviewed this very day upon Radio 6, Crowded House are re-issueing their back catalogue with the usual cornucopia of extra delights (or shameless tat as filling depending on your degree of fandom) and Crowded House are playing a reunion gig at Sydney Opera House in the Antipodes on Friday November 25th and Saturday 26th.

Would love to see them (or even just Neil)

Make it happen any stage, any time.

Please

Would be absolutely over the moon with Crowded House or just Finn. Great shout. Would be so cool on acoustic stage.

Crowded House reunion? Did they split up again?

[BlackHole2006]

Talking about 80's aussie bands, if The Go Betweens or Robert Forster played next year I'd be very happy

Crowded House were so so good when they played before, would love to see them/him back again. 

Its a set I listen to every now and then and it takes me straight back.

Earlier this year Neil said the band was on "hiatus", I don't know when the Sydney Opera House gigs were announced, the first I heard of it was yesterday in the interview on R6.

One of the best songwriters alive today. Yes please.

There's some phenomenal more recent Australian bands. The Lucksmiths (now split) and Aeriel Maps are both fantastic bands. The great Adam Gibson from Ariel Maps was also involved in Modern Giant, also worth a listen.

Essential listening:

Lucksmiths - Warmer Corners

Aerial Maps- In The Blinding Sunlight

Cheers Mardy, giving The Lucksmiths one a listen and there are some really great sounding tunes, I especially liked A Hiccup In Your Happiness, you can't beat a good brass section. I know they are a NZ based band, but have you listened to The Chills latest? Some absolute gems in there.

Also CalGonz, I know that The Go Betweens have split up aaageees ago, it was merely wishful thinking on my part, if that's what you're getting at?

Neil Finn has confirmed that Crowded House are active again...fingers crossed for next year!
