'ALT' (1995) was a one off recording experiment featuring former New Zealand band Split Enz frontman Tim Finn, Northern Irish singer/songwriter Andy White & the frontman of the Irish band Hothouse Flowers, Liam Ó Maonlaí.
The band's name was created out of the letters of their first names. The album was recorded in Periscope Studios in Melbourne, Australia. They released two albums. The first was the studio album ''Altitude'', which has 13 tracks, and it includes references and influences to the musical and cultural traditions in which the participants grew up. The second is Bootleg, a live recording from The Continental in Sydney, Australia. Both albums were recorded and released in 1995.
The overall production has been left very raw and informal. Laughs, count-ins and mid-song instructions are left on the final product, and this adds to the intimate atmosphere and charm of this recording. One can almost feel like they were there when it was recorded.
They toured briefly around Europe after the album was released. In 2004 Liam joined Tim on stage in Dublin during a Finn Brothers concert and they performed one of the ALT songs.
The 3 have worked together on each others solo projects from time to time, & the event of them reforming for another album has never been ruled out.
