They've sucked you in!
Australians ...Ahhhh Ann!<br />They've sucked you in!<br />Australians would have you BELIEVE that they invented Pavlova (they didn't)AND that Crowded House are Australian - they AREN'T!!<br />Crowded House are as Kiwi as the All Blacks.<br />They grew up here, they launched their career here. They were originally an 80's band called Spilt Enz.<br />The founding members of Spilt Enz formed Crowded House (The Finns) and moved to Aussie because it has a bigger market and if Kiwi bands are ever going to make it big "overseas" they usually launch from Australia.<br />Hence the confusion!<br />They are Kiwi boys!!<br />Now you know :)<br />xxxSimoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554122579485306611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-22458020432083315572010-05-20T11:00:13.426+12:002010-05-20T11:00:13.426+12:00Like it! Just visited you for the first time... lo...Like it! Just visited you for the first time... love your party invitations too - found them a month too late. After nearly a year here it's a great summary of Kiwi-ness. I'd change a few things of course... you really need to let go of that whole pavlova debate and admit defeat and aren't Crowded House Australian? Is this why I am not making friends here????!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647407406551661556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-42609984256013570072010-05-19T09:34:23.287+12:002010-05-19T09:34:23.287+12:00Awesome Simoney!
