Like all fantasies, Bee and I have always dreamed of recording a double album. The next best thing is a double podcast drop this week!

Then Tuesday, July 13th, 30 years to the day we catch up with musical royalty be it Mark Opitz and Nick Egan who were pivotal to Wembley in part one of our deep dive. Also, we are joined by journalist Cameron Adams from the biggest selling Australian (The Herald Sun) to share in all the reminiscing.

Epi 57: The Tim Farriss Interview Part 2

With Part 2 of our Tim Farriss Interviews, we get valuable INXS insights and de-myth some time-honored falsities.
Forever generous with the fans, Tim shares fascinating stories about life on tour, the famous “Jesus” T-Shirt choice at Wembley, his musical hero celebrity encounters, and why INXS were such “anti-Divas” particularly when on tour.
We raise with him the INXS: Access all Areas mission statement to get the band into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, which lends itself to some fascinating discussion.
So unlike poor sequels, we hope this one exceeds the original. Enjoy!!!

Epi 56: Uber Special Guest Tim Farriss Part1/2

Hey Bee, hey Haydn are we there yet? Well, guess what kids??? We have finally arrived. After 55 episodes in the vault, we gladly say the stakes have been raised with the one and only Tim Farriss joining the INXS: Access all Areas community.
 
We go way back to the early days when music found its way into his life, the inspirations that drove him to lead INXS from obscurity to superstardom. Tim is most revealing, generous, and passionate in sharing a plethora of experiences that we cannot wait for you to hear.
So kick back (pardon the pun) with a friend, family member, or mate and revel in the greatness of Tim W Farriss!

Epi 55: Live Baby Live with special guest, Mark Opitz

Another album deep dive, time again with a twist as we again welcome our Honoury Patron Mark Opitz, the Producer of the said album “Live Baby Live”.
A controversial release at the time in November 1991 with some critics questioning the validity of its “live credentials” Mark offers a frank and personal assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of this album. Hot on the heals of the Wembley Concert, time and the huge amount of work done meant that a simple Wembley album release was not logistically possible with Management keen to release something that took into all continents of the world insofar as INXS live performances were concerned.
We also examine the underrated new track “Shining Star” and how this shaped the follow-up recordings also done by Mark on Welcome to Wherever You Are.
So sit back and listen to the great Mark Opitz talk about a pivotal era in his INXS journey and contribution.

Epi 54: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction.

Imagine this...
It’s 2023 and all of the INXS: Access all Areas patrons and alumni are in the audience as INXS are inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame. We hear heart-wrenching speeches from Andrew regarding Michael. We tear up as Tim recounts the rise from the far landscapes of Australian tours in 1980 to the glory of selling out Wembley in 1991.
With awards in hand, the band get the opportunity to play “live” for the first time for 11 years but this time with a difference. A tasteful hologram of Michael is superimposed onto the stage as Tim, Andrew, Gary, John, and Kirk reform with their dearly lost friend for a 4 song masterclass to rubber-stamp their long-deserved induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
So sit back, relax and hear how, what, where, and why this great band should and shall receive music's greatest award very soon and just “why” we need all of you to help!!

Epi 53: The Soundtrack to Our Lives.

INXS is the “Soundtrack to our lives” and thankfully filmmakers and TV producers have been similarly seduced by the melodies, rhythms, and hooks in INXS’ catalogue.
So this week we say “thank you to all of the INXS: Access all Areas” community to whom have engaged with us by sending through their favorite INXS tunes from film and TV over 40 years. From the biggest films to the most iconic TV shows, INXS’s representation of celluloid is far and wide.
But thanks to our listeners, we uncover some rarely known tracks played in some unique and famous shows that warm the senses!
So sit back, reminisce about a time and place more innocent and revered, and enjoy INXS in film and TV! Peace

Epi 52: You got ’The Sin?’

So it’s December 1983 in Melbourne Australia and 3XY on the AM dial puts out the most unbelievable, hook-laden, catchy, funky, memorable 5-minute tune to ever hit my 13-year-old ears.
Who was this?
What was this?
What had I just heard, please Mr. DJ tell me at the end of the song and please, please, please don’t go to an ad! Bad luck as they immediately go to a Coco Pops jingle commercial. Eager but somewhat frightened that this propulsive and new favorite song may never be heard again, I feared these dulcet tones may be lost forever.
No Shazam App, no internet to track the song down online, and no helpful DJ to ease my concerns, all seems lost. Alas, they come back from the ads and announce the song, announce the band, and through sheer weight of caller demand to the station play the song again. With Aussie pride and fervor, the DJ says folks: “this is Original Sin by the mighty INXS”! My life was complete.
And so became my total emotional investment to these soon-to-be national treasures.
So tonight, we examine 5 minutes and 19 seconds that changed mine and the lives of many. Every vocal, every sigh, every guitar riff, and every cry shall be broken down.
Listener Warning: this shall take longer than 5 minutes and 19 seconds. Celebrate!
Cheers Haydn.

Epi 51: INXS Raw n Rare

 
As INXS: Access all Areas moves forward from its 50 episode trial run, we take a step back to where it all started as a touring live act on the Northern Beaches and vital Sydney Pub scene where the band plied its trade, experimented with original tracks, and lit up the audience with timely cover songs of luminary artists of that time.
 
A new friend of the podcast Peter Toluzzi was just the man to capture the sounds of 1979 and early 1980 with his dual recordings of said tracks. The first gig aptly titled “Funky Junk” was recorded at the Alley Cat Wine Bar on June 10th, 1979, and the second “Beware the Ides of March” on March 15th, 1980.
 
So get your best headphones on, immerse yourself in a bygone era barely captured, and absorb the genesis of where the Farriss Brothers morphed into the mighty INXS with sheer guts and determination to their craft.
Plus extra stuff will be posted here over the next few days
