INXS: Access All Areas

Epi 30: Thanksgiving INXS in the USA

From 1982-1992, INXS was a much loved and meteoric sensation in the USA with over 7 gold and multi-platinum albums on the Billboard Charts.
With famous gigs like San Bernardino in front of 180,000 people in early 1983 just the beginning, INXS went on to rule the airwaves and hearts of Americans from the West Coast to East. With multiple MTV Award nominations and wins coupled with Grammy recognition, INXS soared the stratosphere stateside like no other born and bred Australian band has ever done!! With musical trends changing and record company support waning, INXS released some of their best material in the 1990s to less commercial success but artistic and critical respect.
So sit back and remember just how significant conquering the Mount Rushmore of Stateside was to the band and appreciate their greatness of our latest episode “INXS in the USA”!

Epi 29: Remembering Michael Hutchence

It’s that unfortunate date when each year our thoughts are transformed back in time to that fateful day in 1997.
 
Michael Hutchence was a driving force behind INXS’s ultimate climb to being the biggest band in the world. So it’s only fitting we commemorate his legacy by inviting our latest Patrons to the third “Calling all Nations” Zoom hookup.
 
As always, you’ll get the chance to share your favorite songs, albums, concerts plus sharing with the community why this band has impacted your life in such a special way.
Expect the usual array of laughter, fan engagement, storytelling and tears as we keep Michael’s memory alive in the best way possible.

Epi 28: Garry Gary Beers Deep Dive

The man with the throbbing “bass lines up back”, the king of groove via his Led Zeppelin licks and Motown motifs the man with two first names, we celebrate all this week that is Garry Gary Beers.
 
From the humble beginnings of the Northern Beaches of Sydney, the oldest member of INXS has been pivotal to the dulcet sounds and beats of INXS tunes over their entire career.
 
With award-winning side projects and tours with Absent Friends, Garry is still to this day producing vital and listener-friendly music with his new band Ashen Moon.
 
So buckle in and celebrate the sounds and successes of the “quiet one” of INXS in our Garry Gary Beers deep dive special.

Epi 26: KICK 3/3a The Nick Egan Interview

Episode 26 The Nick Egan interview
Nick Egan: A true pioneer and pivotal artisan in the creative musical art scene, Nick’s greatest legacy to INXS outside his groundbreaking cover work for album Kick might be his true friendship with Michael.
 
Having navigated brilliant creations for artists as diverse as Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Duran Duran, Oasis, The Sex Pistols, Alanis Morissette, and Bow Wow Wow, Nick Egan has been a major influence on the success of many.
However, it’s his true friendship with Michael Hutchence over an 11 year period that resonates during this two-part deep dive into Nick’s career.
 
The most giving and honest of interviewees, Nick provides a detailed and often heartfelt account of Michael’s journey to the top and gradual decline in his last few years. But overall Nick’s loyalty for a great mate and respect for a great band shines through.
Enjoy

Epi 25: The KICK Album and Tour, review Part 2/3

They say the sequel is never as good as the original. However, we defy this notion with our Part 2 of Album Kick where we delve deep into the critical acclaim, chart positions, sales, and influence on the music industry.
An album that turned 33 years old in the last week, Kick still sounds fresh, crisp, vital, and cutting edge as it did upon release in October 1987.
So sit back, pour a glass of wine or a fresh ale and reminisce just how this Aussie sextet officially conquered Mt Everest to become the biggest band in the world and the center of the musical zeitgeist. #INXS #kickalbum

Epi 23: Fast Cars and Rockstars!

So if you could go back in a time machine “Back to the Future” style to 1979 and see INXS rehearse, perform at your own Xmas party, go on a private jet with the band, witness a film clip getting made, go to an INXS after-party in the Hollywood Hills, meet Robert Plant, go on the KICK tour in the USA and stay at Chris Murphy’s place....... well that’s the life of our latest guest David “Clemo” Clement.
With the famous lyric “you spend the whole day with your axe to the wheel” in Calling all Nations being an ode to Clemo, we are fortunate to vicariously transport you back into a time and place where INXS ruled the musical world.
So buckle up, listen in and drop the jealousy and imagine it is you experiencing all that Clemo has been through!!!
