I knew the day would come where someone - anyone! - here mentions Split Enz. Danke, danke, danke! Vastly underrated band. Kind of a glam/prog DEVO, they both had that surrealist/deconstructive approach to music without taking it too far (think of Captain Beefheart in Trout Replica Mask era, I'm still working hard at trying to understand that album).

Can we now have a Skyhooks thread too? They came from that other Oceanic island. Don't be fooled by the monitor box, Split Enz were Kiwis.

Skyhooks fan here; but I don't remember Greg Macainsh ever using a Gibson bass tho

Nigel Griggs uses a Gibson G3 in the video for Split Enz's very last single release "I walk away" -

Cheers

Correction: just saw a clip from 'the Willesee interview' and he looks like he has a Ripper (?). It is an obviously mimed appearance though.
