Crowded House have recruited a new drummer to replace the late Paul Hester, who, as previously reported, committed suicide back in 2005. The new band member is Matt Sherrod, who formerly drummed for Beck.
Elsewhere in Crowded House related news, according to reports band leader Neil Finn has been working with the lovely Johnny Marr (to be honest, I don't know exactly how lovely Johnny Marr is because I've never met him, but he's probably my favourite ever guitarist) on a number of tracks for the new Crowded House album 'Time On Earth', set for release later this year.
The recently reunited band are, of course, set to play Coachella next month.
