We were extremely excited when we heard that Crowded House were reuniting and playing Coachella this year. We were also thrilled to hear that Tim Finn inked a deal with Manhattan, an EMI-affiliated label, to release his new album in the U.S.
What we didn’t know about was the burgeoning solo career of Neil Finn offspring, Liam Finn. His band Betchadupa generated a buzz at SXSW a few years back, but have been quiet for some months now and rumors of a break-up are swirling around the Internet.
Young Liam has turned it down a notch with his solo stuff -— where Betchadupa pull influences from Sonic Youth and Nirvana, Liam solo sounds more like, well, Neil Finn. His MySpace page has two great singer-songwriter tracks — give a listen to “Lullaby” and “Wise Man”.
