Thursday music corner: Schnell Fenster were founded in Melbourne in 1986 by former Split Enz members Phil Judd, Noel Crombie, Nigel Griggs and Eddie Rayner, along with former Tim Finn band member Michael den Elzen. Over their six-year career the band released two albums - 1988's The Sound of Trees and 1991's OK Alright a Huh Oh Yeah - and five singles. The band also had songs on the soundtracks of three Australian films: Nadia Tass' Rikki & Pete (1988) and The Big Steal (1990), and New Zealander Jane Campion's Sweetie (1989). After failing to achieve chart success, the band broke up in 1992.
Same Boat is a rollicking stomper from the band's second album, with music by the band and lyrics by Phil Judd, which deserved much greater airplay than it received. The clip below is mis-labeled on Youtube as a different track from the same album.
