Video: Liam Finn Second Chance
Born in the early 80s in Melbourne as the son of Neil Finn
(Crowded House), Liam moved to New Zealand with his
family at a young age. His father's musical career strongly
influenced Liam in his decision to become a singer. After
playing with his band Betchadupa for more than 10 years
in London, Auckland and Melbourne, he recorded his first
solo album in 2007, named I'll Be Lightning.
Here are two songs of that album, Second Chance and
Shadow Of Your Man. While Second Chance is one of
the wickedest, most danceable tunes of the album with
its high-pitched drumloop, Shadow Of Your Man simply
plucks your heartstrings. It reminds me of the more
melancholic Oasis songs, probably Liam's British influence
during the years he lived in London.
By the end of 2007 I was lucky enough to get tickets for
his sold-out Auckland show. And I tell you: the guy is crazy.
He jumps around on stage like a wizard, plays a bit of bass
here, some guitar there, hits the drums, operates the sampler,
grabs the mic...it's been an admirable one-man-show.
So, enjoy the tunes but be aware that only on stage you'll
receive the right impression of his incredible skills as a
musician. Better go get tickets for his show!
