Split Enz Tour Ends Early

The Split Enz reunion tour has apparently ended in Perth, leaving the band's "Australia and New Zealand 2006" tour t-shirts inaccurate but more interesting. According to the band's management, there was no suitable venue in Auckland. Tim Finn had hoped to play in Los Angeles, New York, and London but that seems unlikely anytime soon. There was also talk of a studio album, but Neil Finn is moving to London, although his family will keep a house in Auckland. It seems that a studio album isn't likely anytime soon either.

However, a live DVD filmed during the tour is on the way.
