These guys needed a thread, so I'm making one 
I'll write a small history on them for those poor souls who are unaware of Crowded House
_________________________________________________________________
The story of New Zealand/Australian band Crowded House began in 1972, when Tim Finn formed the band Split Enz, which included his younger brother, Neil Finn. Split Enz had a heap of hits in the 70's and early 80's, including this one:
Two members of Split Enz - Neil Finn and drummer Paul Hester - went on to form a highly successful band, called Crowded House, with Nick Seymour, brother of Hunters and Collectors frontman Mark Seymour. Towards the middle of Crowded House's career, Tim Finn joined Crowded House as well. Another member, Mark Hart, less visible as a band member, was also involved with Supertramp during the 80's, and would later tour as part of Ringo Starr's All-Starr band.
This is a collection of some of their hits from their original run (1985-1996) where they made the albums "Crowded House", "Woodface", "Temple of Low Men" and "Together Alone":
After 1996, the band split up. Neil and Tim embarked on solo careers (Tim resuming a solo career from pre-Crowded House days), Seymour moved onto other projects, Hart went touring with Ringo Starr and Paul Hester created the character "Paul the Chef" for hit children's group, The Wiggles, before getting depression and hanging himself in 2005, aged 46.
In memory of Hester, Crowded House reunited (without Tim Finn and with Matt Sherrod on drums) in 2006, releasing the album "Time On Earth" featuring the hit "Don't Stop Now"
(live version of song for people who can't see music video above)
Crowded House are releasing a 6th studio album in 2010. Title and songlist are (as far as I know) yet to be disclosed.
