Split Enz: Dizrythmia
Edwin Pouncey, Sounds, 15 October 1977
SPLIT ENZ are mainly a musical theatrical troupe, not that that's a slagging off because they are also talented musicians. It's just that the first album really didn't work at all due to the fact that you had to see them as well as hear them.
