Crowded House (Neil Finn)/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer almost anything about the band--particularly about Neil Finn. I have constructed a time-line that outlines every important event throughout Split Enz / Crowded House / Finn brothers history. I know the lyrics to virtually every song recorded by Split Enz or either of the Finn brothers. I have met the Finn brothers more than once, as well as Paul Hester, Mark Hart, and Nick Seymour. I lived in Australia close to where Crowded House memmbers formerly lived.
Experience in the area
I am a musician and studied and played their music. I have met the band on more than one occasion. I have constructed a time line, discography, and catalog of lyrics for everything this band has ever done.
