On March 15th 2007 in the curious surroundings of a moored pleasure craft in the city of Bristol the new line-up of Crowded House – Neil Finn, Nick Seymour and Mark Hart plus recently recruited drummer Matt Sherrod – set forth on the latest stage of an interrupted journey in front of a few hundred ecstatic fans. Later this summer as they play big shows at Coachella in the Californian desert and at Hyde Park in London's swinging West End, those crowds will surely swell as die-hard enthusiasts who go back to Split Enz days are joined by the legions of fans who were fatally smitten by the likes of ‘Weather With You’ and ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’ in the previous decade and the ever-rolling stream of new supporters who have grown up with the music but never before had the chance to clap eyes on the people who made it.
On July 2nd ‘Time On Earth’, the first album of new Crowded House material since 1993's ‘Together Alone’ appears. This started life a couple of years ago as a Neil Finn solo record but the intervention of time, chance and tragedy have transformed it into a fully-fledged band album. After playing a number of dates with Neil and his brother Tim in 2005 Nick Seymour was invited to supply bass on the early sessions which were conducted with producer Ethan Johns at Neil's Roundhead Studios in Auckland. The notion of this triggering a reunion of the band was not fully discussed but, as Nick says, "it was probably in the ether. It transpired that we were becoming more collaborative as we tried more songs and it became more of an organic thing based on our familiarity."

We have an experiment going on; maybe you could help :)
We are trying to get Crowded House play Budapest, Hungary on their next tour - somewhere they haven't ever played before.
They did play Austria, Russia and Poland, neither of them their hugest market, so we think we stand a chance. And we are a loud bunch, some of whom have chalked up the air miles to see them abroad.

Would you please help us by going to www.eventful.com, searching for Crowded House in the Demands category and voting? (You need to register first, but it's a cool site.)
We are spreading the word to fans in the area who would also be willing to come to Budapest for the concert, so if you could forward this message to them, it would be greatly appreciated!
