History
Group Members: Don McGlashan / Ross Burge / Chris Sheehan / Tony Fisher
Australasia's finest band, now that Crowded House no longer exist, are set to be massive in 1999, with a superb new single released at the beginning of January, with their fourth album following a couple of weeks later, on their own independant label, shhhh! records.  The four-piece band was started in 1991.  It took them until 1995 to reach our shores.  I saw them back then at WOMAD, where they played an excellent set.  I was one of over a million who saw them live that year.

The new Mutton Birds LP is very good, but never quite betters the new single, Pulled Along By Love - and the album version of that track does not have the same freshness as the single remix.  Still, the album stas excellently with AsCloseAsThis - surely a future single

The best single of the year so far - oh yeah, it's the first single of the year.  But seriously, this is a very funky single, and if this is representitive of the forthcoming Mutton Brilds LP, Rain, Steam & Speed, then that will definately be one of album highlights of 1999.
