CROWDED HOUSE, SPLIT ENZ FOUNDERS TO BE HONORED WITH PARK
TE AWAMUTU, New Zealand (Wireless Flash) The town of Te Awamutu, New Zealand, may soon get crowded with fans of the mid-80s group, Crowded House. Te Awamutu town leaders are planning to name a park after local boys Neil and Tim Finn, the songwriters behind New Zealands top New Wave groups, Crowded House and Split Enz. Deputy mayor Peter McCullough says plans for the Finn Park include a Crowded House Corner and a Split Enz Gateway where tourists will be able to take photos. Also scheduled is a Leaky Boat Cafe to honor the Split Enz song, Six Months In A Leaky Boat. McCullough admits the Finn brothers dont know about the plan yet but he cant imagine theyd say no to the hometown tribute.
