I've got tickets to see the Finns in NYC next month, but a friend alerted me of the show--I've been so out of it. Actually, I've been so preoccupied, that I only got the Uncle Devil Show *this week*... (ouch!) rw - ----- Original Message ----- From: Jen Woyan Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 9:17 PM To: darren@bendbroadband.com; oppositeview@smoe.org Subject: RE: OV: NDC: Finn Brothers Here ya go: The Finn Brothers, Neil and Tim Finn, Reunite For "EVERYONE IS HERE". http://www.nettwerkamerica.com/news.jsp Neil and Tim Finn, The Finn Brothers, are set to release their first collaborative studio album in eight years, Everyone Is Here, on Aug. 24th on Nettwerk. "The last time we did a Finn Brothers record, it was kind of a side project in many ways in the timing of it," says Neil. "We only toured for a few weeks and we only took four weeks to make the album. This one we've been a lot more deliberate about and we want to give it its due and spread the word. We feel very, very proud of it." The track listing for Everyone Is Here is: 1. Won't Give In 2. Nothing Wrong With You 3. Anything Can Happen 4. Luckiest Man Alive 5. Homesick 6. Disembodied Voices 7. A Life Between Us 8. All God's Children 9. Edible Flowers 10. All of the Colours 11. Part Of Me, Part Of You 12. Gentle Hum Recorded in Los Angeles, the title reflects not only the musical reunion of the former Crowded House and Split Enz front men (Neil and Tim respectively) but also the involvement of both former and current musical cohorts. "Our roots are in live music, even if it's just me and Neil playing acoustic guitars together," says Tim. "It works better if there's more than one person working at a time and people playing off of each other. There's a lot of that on the record, and there's a really strong band feeling." Eager for more players to work off of, they involved many of the best musicians around: multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion, drummer Matt Chamberlain and two bass players: Sebastian Steinberg and Davey Faragher. On the production side they recruited Adam Kasper to record (Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age) with string arrangements by Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T. Rex, Mercury Rev), then the brothers went one step further and brought in some familiar faces, producer Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Phantom Planet) and mixer Bob Clearmountain (The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Cure), both of whom many will remember as the production team behind Crowded House's catalogue. This marks the first time The Finn Brothers have been in a studio with Froom and Clearmountain since Crowded House's critically lauded album, Woodface. As Tim said, what would the Finns be without their live shows and to that end they will set off on a July run to give North American audiences the first listen to the new songs and coincide with the launch of the album's first single, "Won't Give In," at radio. A commemorative tour EP released exclusively online will also become available prior to the launch of the tour (more details to follow). Fans can also order it from Nettwerk's Werkshop.com website. I'm all excited - got my tix for the ______ show at the Vic Theatre here in the mail yesterday... Cheers, Jen - ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Darren Holmquist" To: Subject: OV: NDC: Finn Brothers Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 12:30:30 -0700 Just a quick question while we've got some emails going... Does anyone know anything (besides the obvious) about the upcoming Finn Brothers album? Release date, specifically. They're playing in Portland in less than a month, so something must be close.

My cable connection has been down for a couple of days so when I got back on-line and I saw that there were 10 new messages in my OV folder and got all excited!

Speaking of Beatles (this may have been discussed before--I'm working on a large delay...) but the UDS CD is just riddled with Beatles references and influences. I find it to be a very interesting project. I know some people have called it fluff, but I really don't think so. Before this came out, J.C. was being accused of being Mr. Doom and Gloom. Can he win? There's a lot of whimsy in this project, but it's also quite smart and varied in tone. rw >From: "Joe Brady" >To: MojoTheMonkey@hotmail.com, oppositeview@smoe.org >Subject: Re: OV: Hello....? >Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2004 10:24:19 +0100 > >Really?
