      I had some jobs in the early 80’s. The trouble in the 80’s, was knowing how to get work, or the right qualification.

    They were such a Great Neo Psychedelic Band. Sorely Missed Now. We have so much crappy music being played these days that it's a relief to return to these Golden Oldies from the 80's. Thank You Split Enz.😊👍

Even Eddie Vedder fell in love with their song "Take a walk Again". Anyway they will always remind me of my youth where I did not fit in but still felt cool lol.

    The chord progression and the down beat was not the traditional sound of the times. So many did not 'hear' the creative sound they had. My father was a classic rock/blue style fan. And I do love that style as well. But he couldn't 'hear' the same sound(s) that I did of these masters of the new wave. I tried to teach my sons the understanding of chords working together and harmony (even off set harmony) and the both of them say as for today's music it doesn't have anything that compares to previous genres I have introduced them to. I appreciate TH-cam for allowing me to hear and experience a piece of years gone by.!.!. ( this is not a plug for TH-cam........However.......

    I’ve heard a few spiltz enz cover bands, but they won’t play “poor boy”, I suspect because no one can replicate Eddie Rayner’s brilliance on the keyboard. Still love this song, all these decades later.
    I saw crowded house, when they did the secret tour of Australia, 1986? 1987? trying out their material, to find out if loyal spiltz enz fans, would like the new band, the new songs, - give them a chance. It was in a small adelaide nightclub, only 300 capacity, just in case it all turned pearshaped I guess. I couldn’t work out why it was in such a small space at the time, but at least we could all see the musicians. Brilliant. It was all the songs that ended up on the very first crowded house album. Eddie Rayner was there too.

      I don't get it. Split Enz were weird and quirky presumably for artistic purposes. Were they hiding themselves behind an odd persona? Were they doing it for attention? Were they shy and being fake about why they really were? Why was Crowded House so bland when Split Enz was so 'out there'? Anyone have any answers?

      What album are we talking about? True Colours?

    • @davidtaylor351
      @davidtaylor351 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Their early songs were recorded when they were in the UK in 1976. Partly financed By a NZ Arts Council grant. And later albums were recorded in Aust. But to clear things up a little. Their recording contract was with Polydor records NZ. Which was a subsidiary of Polydor records UK / Europe. It wasn't that people couldn't record and mix in NZ. EMI NZ had a new modern studio in Lower Hutt (Wellington area), as did the NZBC at Avalon Lower Hutt. And there was, Marmalade Studios in Wellington City, Stebbings in Auckland etc. The point about recording in Aust was....You qualified for Australian broadcasting quotas. NZ never had quotas. And at the time, in early 1979. Split Enz, in association with Polydor, were working with Mushroom records in Aust, to break into the Aust market. So there was an incentive to record in Aust. The Albums were released by Polydor records in NZ and Mushroom records in Aust. Later on, the recording thing didn't matter. Because under the Aus NZ trade agreements. NZ recordings, were included in Aust quotas. Anyway, it is slightly ironic, given that one of the top producers in Aust at the time, was NZr Peter Dawkins.

    1980 is one of the most futuristic years in our history.
    This band Split Enz & Mi-Sex and hundreds of others that were caught in the New Wave net had this cosmic and far out sound.
    The late 70's and early 80's could be the pinnacle of Western culture.
    Then Devo's De-Evolution started to become evidentiary.
    The music today is very ordinary and sometimes horrible and diisgusting and that is the so called Rock bands, they are trying too hard instead of being organic, real and sincere.
    In the late 70's and early 80's I was out at venues seeing as many Bands as I could, 5/6 nights a week. Spent way too much money enjoying my youth..
    I saw Mi-Sex many times, yet the gig that stands out in my mind is one at The Govenor's Pleasure which was in Dickson St The Rocks, Sydney.
    I can tell you that they are not forgotten, obscure or unknown in a lot of people's minds and hearts.
    They are much loved.
    One of New Zealand's finest.
    Great front man in Steve Gilpin. RIP mate
