I would also appreciate a nudge … I feel like we’ve figured out step 1 but nothing else!

The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

I think I did what BarbaraK did -- had the right idea but on a first pass, I didn't look carefully enough to see it through. That took a bit more time.
Since I haven't paid close attention to rock/pop in several decades, my default assumption is "never heard of 'em." That was certainly true here, but I still had a solo solve.

Filled in the grid back on Tuesday and spent the week going down rabbit holes...saw some light tonight while out at dinner with my son. Sure enough, there it was. I'm old enough to know this band and a couple of their hits. Happy to get it solved as the deadline approached.
Now to see if I can get myself unstuck on the WSJ in time.

If any kind souls want to throw me a last minute nudge- I’m not getting anywhere with this one!

I found the mechanism and followed a couple steps, but unfortunately I can't make a rock group out of what I've got. I fear this is RIOTGRRRL all over again when I had the letters RIOTGRR and thought my path was going nowhere.
Edit: Well I did some more Googling and finally figured out the answer before the deadline. This was a tough one.

From Pete's solution writeup:
"This month’s randomly chosen winner of an MMMM coffee mug hasn’t gotten back to me yet."
Everybody check your spam folders! Nothing but spam in mine:(

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Just wondering if the people who haven't heard of Split Enz have heard of Crowded House?
Brothers Tim & Neil Finn were co-leaders of Split Enz, then when Tim went solo, Neil regrouped some of Split Enz and some other folks as Crowded House.
Kudos to the guy who got Matador Records mentioned in the write-up. I forgot to add into my submission my alternate, crossword-ish cluing of "Record label that (appropriately) begins their catalog numbers with 'OLE'."
