The nephew of New Zealand’s favorite Country singer and not to forget the son of Neil Finn a musical superstar, liam brings a fresh perspective of how music should sound to the long-running Finn musical tradition.
Initially I thought, wow, cool name. He’s dope. I found him on a Paste Magazine sampler that I didn’t really expect much out of. Thats about the extent of what I knew until recently as I stumbled across Neil Finn’s myspace and thought I’d look through his friends. Not knowing that “liam finn” was THE Liam Finn in which I thought so much of from the one track “Second Chance” on the Paste sampler.
Its been my delight to discover another folk-rock artist who is a fine musician, as demonstrated by his involvement in his dad’s project, Crowded House, where Liam is featured in the auxiliary section , recently playing everyone’s favorite Coachella.
I would urge you to check out Liam, [http://www.myspace.com/theliamfinn] Plus! he’s a “kiwi”, which catapults him to the top of my list.
the best way to describe Liam’s music….
if this doesn’t trigger curiosity….you either have been deprived of one of the best singer-songwriters of our time, Elliott Smith….you like Despair…(which i would recommend happyGolovely’s tune, despair…it’s quite non-depressing)…or you don’t appreciate the Irish culture.
Not appreciating the Irish culture is a crime in itself.
Without the Irish we wouldn’t be blessed with the “Kiss me, I’m Irish” paraphernalia, or Irish Creme (insert alcohal drink or coffee flavoring here)
Anyway, enough of the rants. Just check him out.
Have a blessed Christmas.
or whatever you enjoy celebrating. have fun doing it.
Chief Richard Myers called the person “a courageous security staff member who probably saved many lives today.
