Steel City or Dein Perry's Steel City is a soundtrack by New Zealand-born artist Tim Finn which was released in 1998 on Columbia Records/Sony Records.[1][2] Finn has been a member of Split Enz, Crowded House and Finn Brothers.[3]
The soundtrack, was used for Steel City, Sydney Theatre Company's tap dance production, created by Australian choreographer, Dein Perry, with all tracks written or co-written by Finn.[4] Finn co-wrote "Drop Out" and "Road Trip" with Marie Azcona, his wife; he co-wrote "Where I Live" with Mike Chunn, a former Split Enz bandmate.[4][5] For the work Finn used the Steel City Band and additional musicians.[2]
The show's run premiered on 3 January 1998 at Sydney Casino's Star City Showroom with Finn as music director.[6] Mark Woods of Variety described Finn's score, "while live, thunderously loud rock music, composed by [Finn ...] gives the action some punch, it often threatens to overpower parts of the show and frequently necessitates straining to hear the tapping."[6]
All tracks are written by Tim Finn,[4] unless noted
