Philip Judd is a singer/songwriter & one of New Zealand's most acclaimed musicians.
Biography
Phil is perhaps best known for being one of the founders of the most successful band to come out of New Zealand, Split Enz. In 1972 Tim Finn and Phil founded the arty folk band. In its early days the band was known for its eccentric behaviour, wacky clothes, makeup and crazy hairstyles. In the early days the band members all adopted their middle names, with the exception of Phil Judd who is reportedly the only member to keep his first name. Split Enz with ...costumes and hair. ...

While the other members of the Enz had hairstyles that were out of the ordinary, Phil chose to shave his head after the release of the first album Mental Notes. After the second album Second Thoughts was released, tensions rose between Phil & Tim Finn. Phil left the band in 1977 shortly after the release of the single Another Great Divide to be replaced by Tim's younger brother Neil Finn. Enz bassist Mike Chunn also left at the same time to be replaced by Englishman Nigel Griggs. Mental Notes is a 1975 album by New Zealand art rock band Split Enz. ...

After leaving the Enz Phil started writing songs and recording demos until later on that year he was approached by Tim Finn to rejoin the band. The Enz toured in 1977 with 2 lead guitarists in Phil and Neil Finn who reportedly got along rather well.

Later on that year the band fell on hard times & Phil was once again forced to leave as the band members struggled to make ends meet. It was after this time that the band has been criticised for going commercial, which it could be argued was neccessary to achieve the success that it did.
Not long after leaving Split Enz Phil formed The Swingers with future Midnight Oil band member Bones Hillman and Buster Stiggs. The band went through a couple of lineup changes, but managed to release what is considered one of the greatest Oz Rock songs of all time: Counting The Beat. The song was used in the 1990s on commercials for K-Mart stores. Split Enz with ...costumes and hair. ...

After The Swingers broke up in 1982 Phil released a solo album called Private Lives. It would be 24 years before he released his next solo album. Private Lives was released as a 5 track LP in the US called The Swinger. While the album was not a commercial success, fans often criticise the US release for being a butchered shadow of the original album and that it was clearly only released to cash in on the success of The Swingers.
