From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nick Seymour (born Nicholas More Seymour, 9 December 1958 in Benalla, Victoria, Australia) is a bass guitar player, painter, and record producer. He is best known for being the bassist in the Australasian pop-rock band, Crowded House.
Seymour studied Art in Melbourne, and taught himself how to play the bass guitar. In his spare time, he played in local bands, including Plays With Marionettes, Bang, and The Horla, and worked on the set of films like The Leonski Incident. At the end of 1984 he became the bass player for what was to become Crowded House. He stayed with the band until its demise in 1996. Seymour also produced all artwork for the band, including costumes and stage sets.
He has worked on different projects since 1996, like playing in the band Deadstar, and producing the debut album for the Irish band, Bell X 1. Seymour has also moved to Ireland, where he has produced Blotooth, Juno Falls and worked with The Walls.
In 2003, he had re-teamed with old Crowded House bandmate Paul Hester to form a band called Tarmac Adam.
He is the brother of Mark Seymour, the lead singer in the now-defunct Australian band, Hunters and Collectors.
