Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive , Q + A Jason Dempsey/Chris Stapp A 50-something rocker starting a band with his wife who's never played in a band before has, on paper, all the ingredients of a dud. But Pajama Club , the group started by Split Enz and Crowded House 's Neil Finn and his wife Sharon, is anything but. Featuring [...]
The Crowded House frontman talks about his latest project, Pajama Club, as well as offering insights on songwriting.
Pajama Club's debut self-titled album produces an atmospheric pop soundtrack to your next slumber party.
How often do we get to mention Crowded House on this website? Probably never if I had to guess... Well today is the day with a new project and single from Crowded House front man Neil Finn's new project known as Pajama Club . This new song "These Are Conditions" will appear on a new self-titled album due out September 13th on on Lester Records . That beat building throughout the track is just sick nasty. Download: Pajama Club - These Are Conditions [MP3]
The enduring legacy and massive appeal of Tim and Neil Finn (Crowded House) was celebrated with two smash hit albums; 2005's She Will Have Her Way, and 2010's He Will Have His Way . Now it's time for the boys and girls to play together on They Will Have Their Way : The Songs of Tim & Neil Finn National. Tour this November. Below a samlple of what's in store from Emma Louise and Lior:
Liam Finn hasn't quite achieved the respect or fame that he might deserve, though something tells me that might not bother him as much as other artists. He is the son of one of the best pop singers of all time (Neil Finn of Crowded House) but more importantly, he is a sturdy songwriter and studio perfectionist. Finn hails from New Zealand, has toured internationally for his first solo album, I'll Be Lightning, and has just unleashed upon us his second shiny LP entitled FOMO. It's fitting indeed that "FOMO" stands for "fear [...]
Reid Jamieson covers a ton of songs over at his website. Download songs by Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin, Crowded House, Bob Dylan, Harry Nilsson, and Peter Gabriel.
And you thought Crowded House was a strange band name. The frontman of the Australian pop group, Neil Finn, has put together a collective called Pajama Club (changed from Pajama Party for legal reasons). The band consists of New Zealanders Finn, his wife Sharon, and indie artist Sean Donnelly. On tour, Pajama Club will feature drummer Alana Skyring, formerly of Grates. Pajama Club is already scheduled to play the United States as soon as later this month, and has plans to release its eponymous first album September 13th on Lester Records / Redeye . Reportedly, [...]
The band release Australian and American tour dates as well as new track "From a Friend to a Friend". Crowded House leader Neil Finn has formed a new band, Pajama Club, with his wife Sharon. Pajama Club also includes Anna Skyring, ex-the Grates, and Sean Donnelly. The band have not yet made any announcements regarding an album, but they have released the track "From a Friend to a Friend". With Sharon on lead vocals, it has a garagey, almost Sonic Youth-type vibe. You can download it free if you sign up for the official...
Toronto - Australians covering Australians, how novel! Boy & Bear are a five piece band coming out of Sydney. Unlike most of their counterparts from down under, this band have forgone the typical electro-dance-pop sound settling for some kickass gang vocals, rousing choruses, and some rip roaring/foot stomping guitar work instead. It wouldn't surprise me if they became the Australia's answer for Mumford & Sons They released an ep last year named With Emperor Antarctica but the track I want to feature is their cover of Crowded House 's hit single Fall [...]
Liam Finn From: Auckland, New Zealand After a good couple of early rounds for Christchurch Auckland is really hitting back in the battle of the New Zealand musical heavyweights. Following on from the recent post on Street Chant tonight's post features another Auckland based artist with a somewhat familiar name. Being the offspring of New Zealand pop royalty can't be easy so kudos to rocker Liam Finn who transcends his [...]
Intriguer is the sixth studio album by alternative pop group Crowded House, released on 13 June 2010. It is the band's followup to the group's 2007 reunion album Time on Earth, and the first to feature all four current band members, including multi-instrumentalist Mark Hart and drummer Matt Sherrod, on all tracks. The first single for the album, "Saturday Sun", was released to radio and the video clip released to the internet in April 2010. Following the release of Crowded House's reunion album [...]
Crowded House: It's Only Natural [ purchase ] Surely, there are choices of more obvious and consistent substance for this week's theme - songs which utilize found sound throughout, and depend on them to carry the tone of a musical piece. But let us not underestimate the establishment of that tone, as evidenced here in the madcap, cartoonish, don't-blink-you'll-miss-it found sound collage which kicks off my favorite "guilty pleasure" Crowded House single, released as the last of five charting singles for Woodface (1991), a critical and popular success [...]
That is, as they say, the question and I've been pondering it this afternoon as I've been cleaning out my cupboards and madly searching my kitchen for minute holes in the walls because my state has been beset by mice in plague proportions this last month or so, and the little buggers are STILL finding ways to get in. So as I threw out and rearranged and wiped and scrubbed and cursed, I wondered whether or not this post was going to be my last. I've hardly listened to any new music in the last couple of months, [...]
A journey through a quarter of a century of music with Crowded House.
The further I get into this project, the more infrequent the posts appear to get without intention. I fear infact that its been dragging on so long now that the majority of people reading this definitely won't have been with me from the start. If this is the case, have a little peak at this LINK to get an idea of why I'm babbling on in such a nostalgic manner. I promise, PROMISE, that I'll make more headway on this project this week... 119. The Cure - Pictures of you [4:48] [...]

Crowded House: Don't Dream It's Over [ purchase ] Crowded House: Don't Dream It's Over [live acoustic] [ purchase ] There are days when I worry that we've lost the dream. Two generations past the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., my daughters are growing up colorblind and feminist, and I'm proud of my culture for supporting this stance, and making it seem natural. But as I noted this weekend at Cover [...]
