<b>In the early 1970s, a group of impoverished students formed a rock band in Auckland, New Zealand, and planned their assault on the world's music charts. </b><p>For a decade Split Enz fought to be understood by audiences and music critics who often struggled to accept their madcap on-stage performances and innovative sounds.</p><p>Eventually, they found chart success in the UK, United States, Canada, Europe, Australia with hits like <i>I Got You</i> and with best-selling albums such as <i>Mental Notes</i>, <i>Frenzy</i>, <i>True Colours</i>, <i>Waiata/Corroboree</i> and <i>Time and Tide</i>.</p><p>At home, they remain New Zealand's most successful rock band. The band launched the careers of its leader Tim Finn and brother Neil Finn who later formed the hugely-successful Crowded House and joined Fleetwood Mac.</p><p>Success had its price for members of Split Enz, and founding bass-player Mike Chunn shares his inside story of the band in <i>Stranger Than Fiction: The Life and Times of Splitz Enz</i>, a searingly honest account of this much-loved group of musicians.</p>
