Neil begins the year by returning to the US and Canada to re-tour One All before heading back to native New Zealand to work on Finn II with Tim. This will be their second studio album since their debut in 1995.

The very start of the year sees Tim continue his Feeding The Gods tour in Australasia until April, which he then continues again in October. He also plays a one-off Waitangi Day concert in London with Bic Runga and Dave Dobbyn as part of their Together In Concert outfit. Neil begins the year in the southern US for its annual SXSW festival, returning later in the year to tour One All - the US version of One Nil. He then flits between down under for a Fred Hollows Foundation benefit in Sydney - of which he is a member, and LA for a Vanity Fair Step-Up benefit. The end of the year sees Split Enz re-unite (minus Phil Judd) on the Holmes TV Show in Auckland to co-incide with the release of their Best Of 30th Anniversary album, followed by another of Neil's home webcasts where Eddie Rayner, Paul Crowther and Mike Chunn drop by.

Tim begins the year by playing a handful of shows on Australia's east coast in preparation for his Feeding The Gods tour later in the year. A musically diverse year for Neil, beginning with his world tour of One Nil, during which he teams up with an all-star cast of Johnny Marr, Eddie Vedder, 2 members of Radiohead, his brother Tim and Betchadupa for a 5 night stint in Auckland, from which 7 Worlds Collide is taken (CD and DVD). Next followed the unusual collaboration with cartoonist Michael Leunig, violinist Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra to produce a mini Australian tour entitled Parables, Lullabies & Secrets. Neil then heads back to the UK for the Band Of Strangers mini tour and the summer festivals. Another project for Neil includes his contributions to the Rain soundtrack.

A busy year for Tim, showcasing his new record Say It Is So with a handful of shows in Melbourne and Sydney before taking it to the US. He then returns to New Zealand to team up with NZ legends Bic Runga and Dave Dobbyn for a comprehensive tour, from which a CD - Together In Conert: Live - is released featuring the music of all three artists. Neil meanwhile plays a variety of one-off shows featuring material which will eventually appear on One Nil, with shows in Sydney, Auckland and LA's Café Largo, as well as the annual East Coast Blues & Roots Festival in Byron Bay.

A relatively quiet year, with the only studio release being the Crowded House post-mortem Afterglow, featuring previously unreleased tracks, B-sides and rarities. Tim spends much of the year working on material which will appear on his first solo record in 7 years - Say It Is So - which he records in the unlikely town of Nashville, TN with producer Jay Joyce. Neil meanwhile plays a few one-off shows, most notably at LA's Café Largo, the Linda McCartney tribute in London, and the Tibetan Freedom Concert in Sydney's Homebush Bay. Neil also writes a song for the NZ All Blacks rugby team - Can You Hear Us - a patriotic yet catchy number. Split Enz end the millennium in fine style, with a two-night millennium show in Auckland's Waterfront.

Neil releases his first solo album since the Crowded House split - Try Whistling This, commencing with some UK promo radio shows before starting the tour in earnest in Australasia. Later in the year he then takes the album to Canada, the US, Europe and then back again to the US by popular demand. As part of his dedication to the Fred Hollows Foundation, Neil also re-releases the hit I Can See Clearly Now, all proceeds of which go towards the benefit. The song also features on the soundtrack ANTZ. A side project of Tim sees him collaborating with director Dein Perry, writing the music for the soundtrack Steel City, whilst the ENZSO project sees the release of its second CD - ENZSO2.

A very quiet year publicly, with the only known outing being a combined Neil and Tim performance at the Marlborough Food & Wine Festival in New Zealand. Apparently this is a fave of theirs as they're both known to like a drop of the good stuff from time to time. On a solo note, Neil puts the finishing touches to what will be his first solo album - Try Whistling This both at his home studio in New Zealand and New York. Meanwhile several Split Enz albums are re-released: Anniversary - a live CD which was largely recorded during the Enz 20th Anniversary tour of New Zealand in 93, The Gold Collection, Spellbound - a Best Of CD, and Stranger Than Fiction - a re-release of the much earlier material.

Neil and Tim continue the Finn tour, this time taking in Australasia, the US and Canada. The end of the year sadly sees Crowded House play their final ever gig on the steps of Sydney's Opera House, after having released their Best Of album accompanied by a mini-tour and three new singles not featured on any previous albums. Eddie Rayner orchestrates a collaboration of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and prominent Kiwi artists to re-invent a handful of Split Enz classics, resulting in the eclectic ENZSO.

Crowded House begin the year performing a handful of shows with Midnight Oil and Hunters & Collectors around Australia as part of the Breaking Of The Dry tour. Neil and Tim meanwhile put the finishing touches to their first sibling album, aptly titled Finn, which they begin touring around Australasia and Europe. A side project of Tim's sees the release of Altitude - a collaboration with Andy White and Liam O'Maonlai (Hothouse Flowers) under the name of Alt (Andy Liam Tim).
