Biography & Memoir Australiana Music, Film & Performing Arts
Something So Strong: Crowded House by Australian music writer Chris Bourke is the definitive biography of the beloved rock band, tracing their journey from Split Enz offshoot to global chart-toppers. This 1997 Pan Macmillan paperback captures the Finn brothers' songwriting genius and the trio's rise through rare interviews and behind-the-scenes anecdotes.
Perfect for fans of Australiana, 80s rock, and music memoirs, the book explores hits like "Don't Dream It's Over" and the volatile chemistry that made Crowded House both revered and restless. Bourke's narrative balances tour-bus camaraderie with the melancholy that infuses their melodies.
This gently used copy is in good condition: a smooth spine, tight binding, and clean, unmarked pages from a smoke-free home. Only a tiny mark on the bottom edge and one dog-eared page hint at previous reading.
