	Finn Brothers - Biography - AOL Music
		Brothers Tim and Neil Finn have been making music together since their childhood in Te Awamutu, New Zealand, continuing through to international success in Split Enz and Crowded House.
		The album, released in the fall of 1995 (the summer of 1996 in the U.S.), showed a much more casual side of the Finns and was less pop-oriented than their previous musical collaborations -- the brothers play nearly all of the instruments themselves, ranging from the primitive to the exotic.
		After initial pressings of Finn, the duo changed their name to the Finn Brothers to avoid confusion with a band going under a similar name.

	Finn Brothers, Regent's Park (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Finn Brothers were promoting their soon to be released album, Everyone is Here, at a special, secret fan-club only show in the Open Air Theatre at Regent’s Park, a stone amphitheatre usually reserved for Shakespearean drama.
		So both have sufficiently impressive pedigrees to warrant sharing a stage with the brothers Finn, and their skills as performers were always evident, if a bit overpowering at times, particularly in the case of Paul.
		Finn the Elder began the second verse of what was another noisy song with a catchy chorus.

		She referred to the greatness of the Finns, whom she’d also accompanied on the American tour, and pointed out that this was the first night of the European tour, so we were going to have a great night.
		There were logistical difficulties, of course, as the two brothers then had to remove the "horse leg" trousers and then put on their own shoes, which required time for crouching and tying etc, whilst roadies gathered up the now defunct bits of felt animal and took them away.
		The Finn brothers hid their faces from us as they sang—Tim with his eyes closed for most of the brief number, sounding incredibly sad, and Neil with a mop of fringe screening him off as he looked down for the whole song.

	Finn - Finn Brothers - Song Listings
		Finn is the long rumored and awaited collaboration between brothers Tim and Neil Finn.
		The first reports of the project in 1990 promised an album of "just acoustic guitars and lots of harmonies," and when that material was absorbed by Crowded House for Woodface, it was proven that the team was...
		Those expecting Woodface Part 2, however, are in for a surprise -- Finn is a moody, atmospheric album that shows a more spontaneous and experimental side with the brothers playing all of the instruments, including ukuleles, Chamberlain keyboards, mellotron, and tea chest bass.

		With the long history of fraternal feuding in rock, from the Everly Brothers and the Kinks' Davies duo to the Gallagher boys of Oasis, it's nice to see a pair of musical siblings who can't seem to get enough of each other.
		Finn Brothers is a modest, understated album that successfully combines the conventional beauty we've come to expect from Neil's melodic work with Crowded House and the eccentric charm typical of Tim's edgy post-art rock Split Enz.
		The album, released in the fall of 1995 (the summer of 1996 in the U.S.), showed a much more casual side of the Finns and was less pop-oriented than their previous musical collaborations - the brothers play nearly all of the instruments themselves, ranging from the primitive to the exotic.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Everyone Is Here, Finn Brothers, CD
		The Finns still have a tendency to slather the sentiment on a bit too heavily at times (see "Luckiest Man Alive"), but those off-moments are more than offset by the pair's ability to capture both whimsy, as on "Edible Flowers," and non-saccharine affirmations, like the string-buoyed "Nothing Wrong With You," with panache.
		Each brother released two studio albums and one live album (Tim's was a collaborative live effort, but it could be argued that Neil's star-studded 7 Worlds Collide was collaborative too) and, more importantly, their mother Mary passed away, and all of this feeds into the spirit, vibe, and sensibility of Everyone Is Here.
		This is the first time the Finns have written as directly and abundantly about their kinship, and unlike other famous rock siblings, the Finns' relationship is not only cordial but loving, which doesn't mean that it's any less complex than such legendarily combative brothers from the Everlys through the Gallaghers.

	The Finn Brothers: Everyone Is Here: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Finns' latest is glossy, emotional, and sure to satisfy longtime listeners-- as well as any Stereophonics or Aqualung fans paying their respects.
		Tim, the elder Finn, was the first to come to international prominence, fronting clownishly costumed new-wavers Split Enz.
		The brothers reunited for Crowded House's 1991 Woodface, which still stands as their collaborative high watermark; their first album as The Finn Brothers, 1995's Finn, was an exotic, eclectic affair.

		This quirky album from the two brothers who were once part of the '70s-'80s band Split Enz, and who went on to become part of Crowded House, is full of strange noises, acoustic guitars and indigenous-sounding instruments.
		The brothers play all instruments--which include drums, electric and acoustic guitar, mandolin and other random outbursts--except for one song, where a bass player pitches in.
		The Finn brothers have a huge ammount of talent and this is expressed by the quality music being produced by them.

	Finn Brothers : Everyone Is Here
		Tim Finn and his younger brother Neil both have long, impressive musical pedigrees, together and apart.
		The singing/songwriting brothers meet on equal footing, however, under the Finn Brothers moniker.
		Though Mitchell Froom produced most of the tracks, he avoided stamping them with his trademark sound (heavily processed keyboards and dry, flat-sounding drums), instead giving the brothers free reign to work their lush pop magic.

	RockNet Concert Review: The Finn Brothers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Mixed amid the gorgeous harmonies, lovely melodies and superb musicianship was a generous portion of loopy humor from Neil and Tim, the New Zealand brothers who have each carved out separate careers in the equally loopy music business.
		The sold-out house definitely agreed, and "adoring" was too mild a word for the devotion they showered on the brothers Finn.
		In fact, perhaps too much of the show came from the Finn Brothers release, as there were few familiar tunes to be heard.

	Finn Brothers and Mercury Rev, Opera House - Review - Music - Entertainment
		While they still were an exciting lysergic primer for a non-drug-taking world and mixed bucolic tropes with wonderful flights of fancy, unless you were sitting in the first dozen rows and getting the on-stage sound, things tended to get sludgy.
		Such a pity, for like the Finn Brothers, this is a band with magic about them.

	Finn Brothers, Virgin Megastore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The staff were smiley and kind, worried about us fainting, shared our privileged feeling of having the Finns in their midst, and even gave out to the crowd afterwards the many posters lining the walls of the store that (falsely) advertised the Finns being there for a signing that night.
		The brothers’ delivery was awe-inspiring, with Tim lip synching to his brother’s verses until it came time for him to add surprisingly strong vocals to the chorus.
		The Finns’ departure from the stage was the cue to most of the crowd, despite being mature Crowded House (and Split Enz—even older!) fans, to turn and stampede to get upstairs to grab the limited number of pre-signed CDs, which sold out quickly.

	Finn Brothers, State Theatre - Review - www.smh.com.au
		In recent years, acts such as the Dixie Chicks, Yossou N'Dour and Joe Jackson have played shows which really came to life at the encore when the stage was finally rushed, when the pulse of the night was raised and bodies on and off the stage began to sweat.
		The Finn Brothers, in band mode rather than acoustic duo, were not putting on a tea party at the State - they began with the drum-heavy Anything Can Happen from their recent album, finished many songs with '70s rock climaxes and even the pretty, quieter numbers had some movement underneath.
		Starting tonight, with the Finns' third show, let's pray that artists begin not just urging us down to the front but letting those very nice usher types know that this is a rock concert not a chamber recital.

	Finn Brothers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Finn Brothers is the name of the musical project of New Zealand brothers Neil and Tim Finn.
		The brothers started off making music together from a very young age, and Neil joined his big brother Tim in Split Enz at the tender age of sixteen.
		He left the band while they were touring Europe in support of the Woodface album, but the seed for a brotherly project was sown, and in 1995, a lo-fi album simply called Finn was released (Finn Brothers in the US).

		Having sold millions of albums between their stints in Crowded House and Split Enz, Tim and Neil Finn have reunited once again as the Finn Brothers for a new disc, "Everyone Is Here," and semi-acoustic tour of the states.
		With a lot of brother acts, the roles are more clearly defined.
		It's kind of an identity thing, where you think you're figuring out who you are, and suddenly your brother comes along and just his very existence challenges your sense of being.

	The Finn Brothers - Reviews - www.theage.com.au
		In the band Split Enz, the brothers Finn regaled us with some of the most infectious, unforgettable music of the 1970s and '80s.
		But nothing beats the sum of the parts that is the Finn Brothers.
		On Wednesday night, the brothers, backed by a three-piece band featuring another set of brothers, Paul (guitar, keys) and Jeremy (drums) Stacey, and bassist Jim Smith, took fans on a 30-year retrospective of classic riffs and impeccable harmonies, as they promoted their latest collaborative effort, the album Everyone Is Here.

	Finn Brothers : iSOUND.COM™
		Between their solo careers, Crowded House, Split Enz, and a stash of classic songs, the Finn brothers have contributed more than their fair share of the tunes we hum in our quieter moments.
		Neil recalls Tim being harassed by a school thug and the five-year-old younger brother comes to the rescue brandishing a tennis racquet.
		The Finn’s traveled together along that road to boarding school, to gigs, to say goodbye to their mother.

	The Finn Brothers
		Now, in what most would concede is the twilight of their careers, two things remain unchanged: the ability to pen amazing songs and, of course, the Finn family inheritance: great voices...
		The idea of a true Finn Brothers project finally came to fruition in 1995, when the brothers released the cd Finn.
		A very artistic album, Finn could almost be called a "homemade" cd - Neil and Tim played all the instruments, and did a large amount of the work without anyone else.

	New Zealand's Finn Brothers will rock the Moore
		In the mid-1990s, the two musicians joined forces as the Finn Brothers, recording a debut album that combined Neil's Crowded House-style melodies with Tim's edgy Split Enz eccentricity.
		The Finns spent more time on this album than on the 1996 effort, paying tribute to their recently deceased mother and bowing to family pressure to work together again.
		The brothers' show features about eight songs from the new album, as well as songs from Split Enz, Crowded House, their solo careers and the 1996 "Finn Brothers" album.

		So for fans of past Finn moments, this is the album for you.
		The rockier side to the brothers comes through in 'Anything Can Happen' and is quickly contradicted by the balladry of 'Luckiest Man Alive', a beautiful love song; "Must be the luckiest man alive/man finds love, he's the luckiest man alive" they sing with real inspiration.
		Don't be discouraged by the Finn's aging selves pictured on the front, for music lovers of any age, one of the best song writing families of the southern hemisphere has something here for you.

		(UMCom) — The destinies of brothers Neil and Tim Finn are inextricably intertwined.
		Tim’s later, short-lived stint in Crowded House added to suspicions that the siblings were not on the best of terms, though 1995’s self-titled Finn Brothers CD quashed such rumors, however lukewarm the CD’s reception by the music-buying public.
		The Finn brothers now have forged a reunion that goes deeper lyrically and emotionally than any previous pairing.

		Finn is a raw album; the brothers play all the instruments (except for one bass part on the last track), and it sounds like much of the album was recorded live in the studio.
		This album is not really the place to start to understand Neil Finn and his grasp of the pop song, but rather another piece of the whole puzzle.
		Finn is a solid album with no clunkers; it rewards patience and repeated listens.
