Liam Finn ‘’ll Be Lightning’

5 months ago 17th Jun 12:39

Originally from New Zealand but having lived in London for many years, Liam Finn’s dramatic and compelling live show came to life in London in 2006.

The twenty-four-year-old New Zealand native writes, produces and engineers his own music, adhering to a strict DIY creative process, shooting his own publicity photos and album artwork.

In addition to meticulously overseeing the recording of his debut album I’ll Be Lightning, Finn plays nearly every instrument on the album, a responsibility he doesn’t relinquish during his now mythic live gigs.

As one might assume, a Liam Finn show is by no means the seated, shh-inducing coffee house affair many solo singer-songwriter performances can be. It’s actually the antithesis.

Finn drops fuzzed out guitar riffs, bellows bass lines and thunders on his drum kit like a punk rock caveman. When asked the philosophy behind this approach Liam remarks, 'Whenever I walk in and see just a guy and a guitar, I think ‘Here we go again.’ I want to give people something different.'

Finn is accompanied on stage by trusted companion Eliza Jane Barnes supporting him with vocal loops and percussion.
