Eddie Rayner, Forenzics

Split Enz are back. The legendary New Zealand band is set to reunite for the first time in two decades at the Electric Avenue Festival in Christchurch, marking a monumental moment for fans and music history alike.

Split Enz, one of the most original and daring bands ever to come out of New Zealand, are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their debut album Mental Notes with the release of Enzcyclopedia Volumes One & Two on November 14. The massive archival set arrives as a 5CD collection, a 3LP vinyl edition, and a Blu-Ray Atmos mix, offering fans the deepest dive yet into the early, experimental years of the band.

Elly-May Barnes has premiered her new song ‘No Good’, an all out rocker in the family tradition, co-written with Davey lane of You Am I and produced, mixed and most instruments from her uncle Mark Lizotte (aka Diesel).

Award winning actor Sam Neill is a fan of Forenzics. Forenzics, if you look closely at the name as ENZ in the middle. It features former Split Enz members Tim Finn and Eddie Rayner and Noel Crombie as well as one time Split Enz producer and former Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera.

Eddie Rayner, the keyboard player for Split Enz and currently working on the project Forenzics with Tim Finn, recalls the day the phone rang and it was Paul McCartney at the other end recruiting him for work.
