1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Jum Mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 2: Split Ends was a groundbreaking band from New Zealand who

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 2: took over the music scene in the late seventies in

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: the early eighties. These were my formative dancing years. I

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: could not have loved them more. Well. Tim Finn and

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: Eddie Rayner from Split Ends have reunited with a new

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: band called Forensics, a new album, a new single called

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 2: Chances Are.

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 3: It's very good, by the way, and we're thrilled.

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: To say, Tim Finn, Hello.

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: Hello to both of you. It's very nice to be here.

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 2: You've obviously performed and written a whole lot of music

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: separately throughout all these years. When you came back together again,

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 2: did you instantly click again? Was that the same sensibility

15
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: straight away?

16
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: Well, it was.

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 4: You know, it suited us well to work from home,

18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 4: so we never really got together. We just he's living

19
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 4: in a different part of Auckland, which because of traffic

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 4: and that takes about an hour to get to and

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 4: so we decided let's just do.

22
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: It by exchanging files. And he works very.

23
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 4: Well that way at home doing life of the production work,

24
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 4: arrangement work, mixing, and I just sang and played guitar.

25
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 4: And did my usual thing at my house and it

26
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 4: just worked so well together. And as I say, from

27
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 4: the very first song we tried, it was magic. So

28
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 4: you know, it was the right time I think for

29
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 4: us to come together like that creatively.

30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: Are you working from home? Do we hear your cat

31
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 2: or your kids in the background, or a buzz saw

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: as you're working on building something?

33
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? No.

34
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 4: You definitely have to ask any though, because he ruthlessly

35
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 4: tries to eliminate anything, And he said, my tracks are

36
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: full of that. You can hear people talking in the kitchen,

37
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 4: you know. He can hear me stamping on the floor

38
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: while I'm singing. Yeah, I gave him all sorts.

39
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: Of technical issues. It's no problem for any you know.

40
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: He rolls up his sleeves and off he goes.

41
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: When was the last time you performed in front of people.

42
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Me personally? Oh god, I can't remember. It was probably

43
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: I did it Neil and I did a few songs

44
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: at a nephew's wedding recently. Does that county it may

45
00:01:58,920 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: as well?

46
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think that counts.

47
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: That was only a couple of months ago. I do

48
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: the odd festival. I've done quite a few in Australia now.

49
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 4: So I think the last festival I did was Lost

50
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: Lands down in Victoria. But I don't play a lot

51
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 4: live anymore, you know, I don't tour anyway, but I

52
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 4: do one off kind of things.

53
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: And Eddie and I are thinking we might.

54
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 4: Play some shows with this and just do it in

55
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 4: a fairly stripped back way and talk about how we

56
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 4: made the album to the audience and bring them into

57
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: the story and the process. Maybe show some old clips

58
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: and that. So it'd be nice where to entertain people.

59
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: I think, what was the song you played at the

60
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: nephew's wedding.

61
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: Oh, we did a whole set.

62
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 4: I mean we always start by saying, well I need

63
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: you three and we end up doing about ten or eleven.

64
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: We finished with icy Red, which was an all in

65
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 4: kind of fiasco with everybody kind of grabbing the mic

66
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: and having you go.

67
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: I had a cousin John.

68
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: Got out there who wanted to get up and sing.

69
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: So Neil and I were doing a cover of the

70
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: Beg song to Love Somebody, and he was looking mournfully

71
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 4: across and I knew he wanted to go because he

72
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: remembers that from the old day we were kids.

73
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: We used to sing that song. So he came up and,

74
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: you know.

75
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: Sort of made sounds let's say, kindly into the mic

76
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: as we did that one.

77
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: You know, it was really loose and fun.

78
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: Actually so not everyone in the family is musical.

79
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 4: We all love music start, you know. But no, it

80
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 4: seems like me and Neil got that gene. We might

81
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 4: maybe from our maternal grandmother. Possibly she was a piano player.

82
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: I guess it's like anyone else's uncle sings at a wedding,

83
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 3: that's a bad thing, But you uncles singing at a

84
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: wedding that's a good.

85
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: That's true.

86
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Tim, it's great to talk to you. Tim

87
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,120
