The son of Neil, Liam put out his first solo album I'll Be Lightning in 2007 and has toured pretty much non-stop since, earning praise for his unique live shows featuring the man doing his best to recreate the lush instrumentation of his record with just a guitar, loop/octave pedal and drum kit.I saw him supporting Ben Folds in Adelaide in 2005 as a last minute acoustic fill-in. His performance was often punctuated with random excursions of fiddling and meandering with his new toy, a loop pedal. It was neat to see then, that a few years later that off-the-cuff experimentation has come to define his solo career.
More recently his live shows have been assisted by one of Jimmy Barnes' many daughters Eliza Jane, with whom he collaborates on the EP Champagne in Seashells, the first taste of Liam's 2nd album, in September. It features the single "Long Way To Go", a continution of the crunchier, poppier colours of the Finn rainbow.
