Crowded House is a NEW ZEALAND band, NOT an AUSSIE band. You guys have enough brilliant musicians without having to claim ours! AND RUSSEL CROWE IS A KIWI TOO! Go on, call me a sheep shagger! I know you’re dying to! LOL xxxx
Neil Finn might be a Kiwi but there were two Aussies in the band!
Russell Crowe you can have.
