Liam Finn is a name which really only brings to mind one thing. A bearded, piercing-eyed man bashing vigorously on a drumkit in a church in Dingle as if his life depended on it. It was his appearance on Other Voices that made me pay attention. He came across as a bit more feral than your average artist on that show. His debut album I'll Be Lightning was an occasionally-interesting mix of folk, falsettos, electronics and guitar. Plenty of promising ideas. Enough to render the famous-dad syndrome obsolete anyway - his da is [...]
With a pedigree like Liam Finn has, it's no surprise to see him continue to rise to the top of the heap. The son of Neil Finn released an excellent debut album last year , I'll Be Lightning , on the Yep Roc label. Liam is back in 2009, and along with his touring partner Eliza- Jane Barnes, has an excellent new release to drop. The new material is in the form of an EP, titled Champange Seashells . The project follows in the footsteps of I'll Be Lightning in [...]
Rob Sheridan & Tamar Levine They do try their best, I believe that, but it might be time to declare any Virgin Festival in Canada to be well and truly cursed. Don't get me wrong, despite everything, I've always had a great time at the three in Toronto thus far, but you can't really say they've gone smoothly. In 2006 , they lost one headliner in Massive Attack ( Broken Social Scene wasn't a bad pinch hitter at all, but that it was necessary was unfortunate) and then [...]

Well, sure. The Finn family is from New Zealand which technically IS down under 'Down Under.' So, for ME, it's works as a bit of a capper to the week...

Holy crap, is that ever an ugly graphic. Damn. I put these things together myself, you'd think I'd have better quality control. Don't let the nasty image fool you in to thinking the music is crap. There's some damn good tunes in this cycle. Not as many rarities as I'd like, but even the ones that aren't particularly rare are, for the most part, by acts that I don't regularly listen to, aside from the one track presented here. Of course, some of them [...]

Liam Finn originally hails from Australia, but identifies New Zealand as his home country as he moved there as a child. You'll recognize Liam's famous last name, as his father is Neil Finn from 1980s chart toppers Crowded House. Liam joined his father on covering The Beatles' "Two of Us" for the I Am Sam soundtrack and has played some Crowded House reunion shows. However, Liam does not rely on
Not even back a month from Coachella, and already I am itching for another musical themed road trip. Been plotting with a friend for the last couple of days about a pilgrimage down to Nashville in June to see Elvis Costello and Eddie Vedder on consecutive nights at the Ryman Auditorium. There is so much musical goodness in that sentence I can barely contain myself...but I digress. So while gleefully scouring the web for details about these shows I saw that Liam Finn(son of Crowded House founder Neil Finn) was opening up for Eddie Vedder on this current tour. It [...]
