Some of the concerts in January and February 1987 at the Berkeley Square in Berkeley, California — including two I attended: Icicle Works and Crowded...

Here’s a Crowded House poster announcing their concert in San Diego on April 20, 1987 at Freeborn Hall, UCD. Ticket prices ranged from $10.50 to $12.50. Click on the image to see a larger...

Here are some of the posters, album covers, autographs, ticket stubs and other random bits of music memorabilia I had up on my bedroom walls from 1983 to around 1988. Autographs below include Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Go West, Gene Loves Jezebel, Level 42, King, Julian Cope, Ten Ten, Peter Murphy and General...

Less of a “Where are they now?” story and more of a “Here they are now!” tale, Crowded House re-formed (sadly, minus the late Paul Hester) to release the album Intriguer in 2010. Here’s how the two remaining original members, Nick Seymour and the amazing Neil Finn, looked in a...

I recently found an old friend, Iskandar, and I asked him if I could use a fabulous pic I took of of him mugging with Crowded House drummer Paul Hester in San Francisco — the day we took Paul shopping in the Haight.

Here’s the fabulous, much-missed Paul Hester, onstage with Nick — showing some food that either someone had thrown on stage or that came from the dressing room. (At the Berkeley show, he shared the backstage catering tray with the audience!) Doing some role-reversal stuff — away from the...

Nick Seymour of theband Crowded House filled out his answers to a few questions. (Read answers from Nick Seymour’s brother Mark — of Hunters & Collectors — here!) And for more from this...
