Split Enzis one of the most successful and longest running bands ever to emerge from New Zealand. The group was formed in Auckland in 1971 by Tim Finn, Philip Judd, , Robert Gillies, and Noel Crombie, who originally called themselves "Split Ends." They soon changed the spelling to honor their NZ homeland. For much of their career, the band was known for wild costumes and make-up designed by Crombie. For the first phase of their existence, the band played a kind of progressive rock infused with music-hall humor; later they slipped into a quirky new wavestyle that generated hits worldwide. Numerous personnel changes have been a defining factor for the Enz.

Split Enz
Pull up a flag, or light a fire, or send up a flare
Build me a beacon, seems there's no other way out of here
Inform the local correspondent
Tell him to phone in, tell the papers, put it over the air
I'm marooned(?)
Build me a schooner, or a punt, or a dug-out canoe
A Sputnik, a bi-plane, just a rusty jalopy will do
Call the folks and say I'm castaway
I'll even resort to taking chances in a hot air balloon
Marooned,marooned ...
