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.

(T Finn/P Judd) - Beginning of the Enz
-===============================================-
Writing letters to my frenz
Telling them all about split ends
Watching flowers hit the floor
Why can't he see there's so much more
Four of one, twenty of another
It's all the same to me brother
Never know these days mother
I might still be your lover... yeah
Nothing else is so obscene as
coffee beans and smoke machines
Take your daughter for a ride
Let her know you're on her side
Guess there's no words can beat
The Sunday treat where rigamortis meat
Wish you'd never found your feet
Sniffing toe jams really neat... it is
Writing letters to my frenz
Telling them all about split ends
