The two surviving members of Crowded House have announced that they will reunite what was originally a trio, including now-deceased drummer Paul Hester. This news comes hot on the heels of Mamas and Papas singer Denny Doherty all but ensuring an end to rumors speculating that his group would reunite.

Chances are the reunited Crowded House will throw a bone toward leader Neil Finn‘s older brother Tim (in the Randy Quaid role), who was briefly a member of kid bro’s band. However, Crowded House will go down in history as a trio, which raises an important question: Can a rock trio be considered reunited if it’s missing one original/integral member?
