about
Liam Finn (born Liam Mullane Finn on 24 September 1983) is a New Zealand musician and songwriter. Born in Melbourne, Australia, but moved to New Zealand as a child, Finn's passion for music begins as early as childhood as the son to Neil Finn (of Split Enz and Crowded House fame), and nephew to kiwi rock legend Tim Finn. Finn attended Auckland high school Selwyn College. It was during high school that LFinn pursued the musical talent in his blood and helped in the formation of the band Betchadupa (with other band members Joe Bramley, Matt Eccles and Chris Garland). The band saw the release of two albums which charted well in New Zealand. A few years later, however, Betchadupa made a unanimous decision to take a break. Finn released his first solo album in 2007: "I'll Be Lightning", with the help of former Betchadupa band-mates. Since the reunion of the band Crowded House in early 2007, Finn has become part of its touring band, playing concerts such as Coachella Festival and Live Earth in Sydney. In 2008, he opened for Eddie Vedder's solo tour throughout America. Later that year, Finn headlined his first North American tour and went on the road with The Black Keys in the UK and Europe. In August 2009, Finn performed with a new band called BARB on a small New Zealand tour with a band consisting of Connan Hosford (Connan and the Mockasins), James Milne (Lawrence Arabia), Eliza Jane Barnes, Seamus Ebbs, Jol Mulholland and Wild Bill Rickets.
