Crowded House

New Zealand/ Australian 90s megastars Crowded House are to reform for a World tour and new album this year. The band headed by singer/ songwriter Neil Finn will perform at the US Coachella festival this year as well as performing a World tour. Bass player Nick Seymour will be in the band along with new drummer Mark Hart, after ex-drummer Paul Hester took his life in 2005.

It follows the successful Australian tour of Split Enz (whose members include brothers Tim and Neil Finn).

Speaking about the tour and new studio album Time On Earth, Neil had this to say:

After spending most of last year making music and hanging out with my friend Nick Seymour we are now announcing our intention to reform Crowded House with a new record entitled Time On Earth. It feels right to us that the band should re-emerge at this time and together with Mark Hart we look forward to reconnecting with the audience that we established and for whom we still hold a deep respect. We aim to make the upcoming shows and the new music every bit as vital and spirited as what has come before. We are conscious that Paul Hester was above all a great drummer and we are currently auditioning to find someone special to take that role.

Of course, we'll keep you posted once UK/ Eire dates have been confirmed.
