We hear about the formation of the band as Split Ends and the songwriting partnership of Tim Finn and Phil Judd.

The band moves to Australia and infiltrates the Aussie rock scene. They record their debut album Mental Notes, which in 2004 was voted the number 1 New Zealand album of all time by Rip It Up magazine.

The band move to London, ​Mental Notes is re-recorded for the overseas market and the Enz tour the UK just as punk rears its snotty head. An ill-fated promotional tour of the US leads to the departure of key band members. Neil Finn is asked to join.

New members, new songs, disaster and rebirth. After recording their third album, Split Enz regain Phil Judd, lose their record company, lose Phil Judd again and feed off the energy of punk with the Rootin' Tootin' Luton demos.

The band gets fired up after the Luton session and records 'I See Red' with whiz-kid producer David Tickle; they lose the plot by recording the Frenzy album with Jimi Hendrix's tea boy; and get fired up again by losing gear in a fire, one day before their Nambassa Festival performance in NZ.

The band base themselves in Australia again and nearly break up due to bad debts. A successful tour re-balances the books, as does the huge radio hit 'I Got You' and album True Colours. The Enz simultaneously hit the charts in the UK and US and begin recording the follow-up album, Waiata.

Split Enz sell out London's Hammersmith Odeon, sack their drummer and hand the kit to their costume designer. A gun to the head and a chair to the ceiling. Canada loves them, America misses the boat, hotels lock the windows.

Tim Finn has a nervous breakdown and he's not alone; Split Enz record perhaps their best album; and 'Leaky Boat' is scuppered in the UK.

Tim Finn makes a solo album and has a giant hit; Split Enz begins to fall apart; the robots take over, and the American label gets all the fax... and they're not impressed.

Tim Finn walks away and the Enz ends with a bang. Neil Finn almost ends with a bang too.
