Liam Finn

小简介
Liam Finn生活和事业都在他的著名老爹Neil Finn的强力阴影下——那个写好歌比路人写购物清单更轻而易举的人。而Liam在年轻的时候就因为成为Betchadupa的成功主唱而写下了只属于自己的名字。他们灌录了两张EP和两张专辑，之后就非官方的歇菜了，FINN在纽西兰，而乐队其他成员在伦敦。2007年，Crowded House重组，Neil Finn邀请儿子加入巡演队伍。之后，Liam Finn发行了一张单飞专辑，I'll Be Lightning.这张专辑是在他爸爸的录音室里录制的。乐器大部分都是由LIAM自己演奏的，还有一些他重新创造的来自巡演中的音轨。
Liam Finn lives and performs in the lengthy shadow of his famous father, Neil Finn of Crowded House and Split Enz -- a man who seems to be able to write memorable pop songs as easily as other people write shopping lists. Finn the younger succeeded in making a name for himself while still a teenager as the lead singer of the quirky rock band Betchadupa, formed after he met bandmate Matt Eccles during a beach holiday with his family. They recorded two EPs and two albums -- The Alphabetchadupa in 2002 and Aiming for Your Head in 2004 -- before taking an informal break, with Finn in New Zealand while the rest of the band resided in London.
In 2007 Crowded House re-formed and Finn the elder asked Finn the younger to join their touring band, which he did beginning with their reunion gig at that year's Coachella Festival. Later that year, Liam Finn released a solo album, I'll Be Lightning. The album was recorded in Neil Finn's Roundhead Studios, using analog equipment to give it the spontaneous feeling of a demo recording. Most of the instruments were played by Liam, a sound he re-created during his following tour through looping with an effects pedal as he moved from instrument to instrument, with E.J. Barnes performing his backing vocals. Popularly received in New Zealand and Australia, I'll Be Lightning cemented Liam Finn's status as a formidable talent in his own right.
