On this day, 10 Feb 1978, New Zealand band rock band Split Enz played Cardiff’s Top Rank.

The band had released their third studio album Dizrythmia the previous Summer, the first Split Enz album without co-founding members Phil Judd and Mike Chunn.

Neil Finn, (who went on to form Crowded House) and Nigel Griggs, the first being the younger brother of band leader Tim Finn, replaced them respectively.

The album is regarded as the start of the band's breakthrough, and marked a shift from art rock to more pop-oriented songs.

The album's title comes from circadian dysrhythmia, more commonly known as jet lag.
