Career
He is the brother of Paul Griggs from the 1970s vocal group Guys "n" Dolls. He has been playing bass since he was 14 years old, because his brother"s band needed a bassist. His other hobbies include photography, sound recording and soccer.
Griggs stayed with the Enz until their 1984 split.
In 1996, when Crowded House split up and released their greatest hits album Recurring Dream, frontman Neil Finn approached Griggs to put together a collection of the band"s greatest live performances, to append selected copies of Recurring Dream. In 2002, Griggs released a solo album, Sleeper, through the Split Enz fanclub, Frenz of the Enz.
Due to being a core member, he has always participated in major Split Enz"s reunions. On rare occasions, or for unplanned gigs, previous Enz bassist Mike Chunn has been known to step in.
