Crowded House Reform 2007-01-26 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 5 Comments | Legendary New Zealand pop-rock group Crowded House have become thew latest high-profile band to reform, and plan to release a new album and embark on a world tour in 2007.
The band will unfortunately reform without original drummer Paul Hester, who tragically committed suicide in 2005, however both remaining founder members Neil Finn and Nick Seymour have confirmed that they are on board.
The message posted on the group's website reads as follows:
Crowded House founders Neil Finn and Nick Seymour have confirmed that they will be putting the band back together, with plans for a new studio album and world tour.
Talking about the decision Neil said "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."
The band is currently putting the finishing touches on the new album for release later in the year. Tour plans are yet to be announced but the band have confirmed they will play the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in California, USA along with Bjork, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Rage Against the Machine.

To Australians, all good things that come from New Zealand are Australian. If however, they screw up, they're from New Zealand.
Case in point: Russell Crowe.
And yeah, this is great news.

This is fantastic news. They're one of the classiest pop-rock acts of all time, quite frankly.
Interesting to note they'll be playing along side RATM :lol:

Oi JumpTheF**kUp, no.
All good things that come from New Zealand are Not Australian.
So you can have Russell Crowe.
