    So glad you have hit on Split Enz Greg. This is quite a wormhole for you!
    They originate in New Zealand, though they came to Australia in 1975 to a broader market. They played the pub circuit and were just so different. Skyhooks were doing their thing at the same time, so the theatrical element was popular in that time.
    All the members in the video play instruments and their music is different and for me, just wonderful. I will enjoy watching you react to them over time.

    Hey Greg, split Enz were great, Tim Finn was the lead singer of that band, and his younger brother Niel went on to form Crowded House, awesome band! Check out their song 'Better be home soon '
    Cheers from oz mate

    Oh wow, this was a new one on me. I think I’m more familiar with Neil Finn leading. But I can hear the start of their sound here. They continue to be very melodic, while often being very fast and energetic (Shark Attack). Occasionally they dropped back to beautiful raw slow songs (Stuff and Nonsense).

    A year before Neil Finn (later Crowded House) joined. Guy singing, Phil Judd, sang with The Swingers (Counting Tbe Beat)

    You never really knew what you were going to get with the Enz but it was always going to be fun. They certainly became more visible on the charts once Tim Finn's little brother Neil joined.

    Ahhh....later Enz was great, but early prog Enz was WEIRD and great. so many transitions in this and still it remains catchy. Quite brilliant. Please explore more of both sides. And yeah, my sympathies for your gun situation. It's so foreign to us most of us can't imagine being in that nightmare situation.

      They scared the hell out of me as a little kid with all their outfits and theatrics, Reminds me of weird movies like The Cars That Ate Paris that freaked me out as a kid, Mid 70's had some weird shit going on, I glad I got through my childhood. Luckily I never heard or saw this video when I was a kid, It even weirder than I Got You by Splitz Enz, that made me feel like it was a horror movie.

    I love 'I see Red' by this group. In the state of Victoria in Australia the students have to put their phones in their lockers for the whole day at school. There has never been a school shooting here in Oz. We do not have the gun culture in Australia that you have in the USA. The massacre at Port Arthur, Tasmania years ago, at a tourist area, was a turning point where guns were bought back in an amnesty by the Federal Government. It was extremely successful. There are laws, regulations and oversight by police regarding the ownership of guns in Oz.

      I know, it's part of the insanity of life in the U.S. I'm not even anti-gun per se. I just want to ban AR-15's and some degree of regulation. In Oklahoma they passed an open carry law so I could walk down the street with an assault weapon and the cops couldn't say a thing.

    I am 100% with you on the school issue. I don't think I would have been able to send my baby children to school every day w with that fear hanging over us. The idea of 5 year olds doing active shooter drills sounds like something from a post apocalyptic book. It is heart breaking. I quite honestly don't know how you all cope with this anxiety, not knowing if you are getting your kid back in the same condition you dropped them off. I hope that 2nd ammendment is worth it. 😢

      It's really a tough one. At this point I just want to get rid of the fucking assault rifles. None of this was an issue when I was a kid. Everybody had guns and you'd see folks with a gun rack in their pick-up truck. The only thing we had to worry about at school was tornado drills. Oh, actually we also had drills for nuclear bombs. It was pretty messed up growing up in America knowing that any old time, nuclear fire could rain down upon you. Gave my generation a certain strange attitude.

    • @ponicus1

      Same for us, although we didn't have drills, but I didn't expect to grow old, and that led to taking risks and doing really stupid shit, because why not? The world was going to end, so we all just did whatever the hell we wanted. A strange attitude indeed!

      @@ponicus1 I often wonder if that had as much to do with creating hippies as the war or LSD. Sha-la-la-la -la live for today, and don't worry 'bout tomorrow hey.
