Betchadupa

Betchadupa

Betchadupa has been played on NTS shows including Down at the End of the Garden w/ Flying Nun Records, with Spill The Light first played on 16 December 2024.

Betchadupa was a New Zealand pop-rock group. Formed in the 1990s, in Auckland, the band features Liam Finn (son of Neil Finn), Joe Bramley, Chris Garland and Matt Eccles (son of Brent Eccles) (previously a member of Citizen Band). The band has been on hiatus since 2006 while Finn has pursued a solo career. It is uncertain if the band will ever reform.

Betchadupa (originally called Lazy Boy - the name change followed threatened legal action from the chair company of the same name) had its origins when Finn and Eccles met whilst their families were on holidays in New Zealand.

Their first song, written when both boys were 11, was called 'Gee This Sounds Good, I Can't Believe We Wrote It'. Their unique name is said to be named after a Polish dessert cereal.

The band's debut album, "The Alphabetchadupa", was released in 2002. Their second album, "Aiming For Your Head", was released in 2004.

The band moved to London, UK, after spending much of 2004 in Melbourne, Australia.

The band went on hiatus in 2006 while Finn pursued a solo career. It is uncertain if the band will ever reform.
