Before Lorde there were the Finn Bros.

(And the Dead C, and The Clean, & others, etc, ... )

I am also happy to report that Ms Yelich-O'Connor's long form birth certificate has finally been produced. She was born in '96, folks.  Seventeen going on eighteen.

And, she has listed The Big O, Otis Redding, as one of her all-time favorite recording artists. That is one hip Kiwi lady!
