INXS: Access All Areas

Epi 41: The Mark Optiz Interview Part 1

Not to be missed...
 
If ever a country can thank and pay homage to one person who unequivocally shaped the landscape and soundscapes of Rock n Roll, Australia should do so.
 
Mark Opitz undoubtedly is the George Martin of Australian music with a resume that boasts AC/DC, The Angels, Australian Crawl, Noiseworks, The Hoodoo Gurus, Divinyls, The Models, and our very own INXS to name a few.
To knock back Guns N Roses also highlights just how much Mark was in demand. Not just a Producer, he has worked in A&R, owned and ran studios such as the legendary Rhinocerous in Sydney, created unique musical platform businesses, and shared his passions and expertise via work with the ABC and Australian National University in Canberra via his esteemed Fellowship stint.
But today Mark is yours. Sit back and absorb part one in this unique musical insight into the man that arguably produced 3 of INXS’ greatest studio albums and revel in the legacy that is “Mark Opitz”! #inxs #inxsmusic #inxsfans #inxsmusic #inxs #coldchisel #acdc #raycharles #theangelsband #noiseworks

Epi 39: INXS Fandom with Special guest Chuck Fieldman

Without the fans packing stadiums, buying albums, and inspiring radio to broadcast their tunes, INXS like all successful bands would have struggled to make it out of the suburban pub scene of the Northern Beaches.
Fans create passion, adoration, inspiration, unity, momentum, and a movement! A movement in INXS’s case that has inspired fans growing up in the 1980s to become the musical figures of the 2000s.
Artists like The Killers, 1975, Arcade Fire, Powderfinger, No Doubt, Smashing Pumpkins, Adele, Everclear, London Grammar, and Justin Timberlake have all cited and covered INXS either in the studio or on stage. However, it’s “you”’ the everyday fan that INXS are most grateful to and who without, would have never had the lives they undoubtedly have enjoyed.
So today it’s all about celebrating “you” the fan.
So don’t just sit back and listen today. Post, blog, share, and excel in all your fandom joy for INXS on all of our available platforms!!
Who knows, you might just get highlighted on episode 39!!!! #INXS

Epi 38: Andrew Farriss Deep Dive

The musical maestro behind some of music's catchiest melodies, feel-good funk, and heartfelt lyrics, Andrew Farriss is without peer.
The middle brother of a triumvirate musical family, Andrew was happiest on stage hiding “top left-back” allowing his bandmates to strut their stuff.
Essentially the songwriting burden from Listen Like Thieves onwards, Andrew despite the onset pressures and expectations, never failed to deliver thoughtful, catchy, versatile, and classic hooks that connected with our feet, hearts, and heads in the most timeless way.
So block out the external distractions and embrace part one of our Andrew Farriss Special!
Love Haydn & Bee

Epi 37: Michael Hutchence: Poetry in Motion

So it’s that time again where we posthumously acknowledge the birthday anniversary of that sweet soul of INXS charismatic frontman, Michael Kelland Hutchence.
 
Unfortunately gone but never forgotten we focus this deep dive on Michael’s work, not the image.
 
Never one to stray from having a pen and pad handy, Michael put pen to some of the most heartfelt and enduring lyrics. Lyrics that were often understated and definitely underrated. Combining these poetic words with a vocal phrasing and delivery that swooned the hearts and heads of females worldwide and the feet and minds of their male counterparts, Michael’s words and voice live on eternally.
So we examine the legacy today of these two undefinable attributes and illustrate them with examples of gushing joy.
Michael Kelland Hutchence, happy birthday sir!!
Love
Haydn & Bee

Epi 36: A Tribute to Chris Murphy- INXS Manager

“It’s with great sadness that Bee and I learn of the sudden and premature death of INXS Manager Chris Murphy.
 
Always ahead of the curve, Chris’ business contribution and cutting edge marketing prowess saw Chris have the Midas touch.
Condolences to all the band, the team at Petrol, and to his family.
 
We know that the INXS community is in shock with this news and we send out our love to you all.
We have to love one another!
RIP CM X

Epi 35: INXS v AC/DC

“We’re back in black, it’s been too long, we’re glad to be back”!
Hello and all and best thoughts for 2021.
We’re both excited to join you all again, as we do our second battle of the bands, whereby we compare the career trajectories of these iconic Sydney Australian supergroups. Both achieved the lofty domestic success that then translated internationally with a “live concert” repertoire seducing fans globally. Both suffered the heartfelt loss of popular frontmen in the most unfortunate of circumstances.
Today however we dive deep into the similarities and successes of these iconic bands with a healthy swag of joy, gusto, and “air guitar”.
So as a famous Spinal Tap member said, “turn it up to 11” and enjoy folks!
Love
Haydn
and Bee

The Bee-line with Nick Egan

A special treat for some uber INXS fans and Patrons of INXS Access All Areas.
Bee has now for 2021 started a new segment called, the Bee-line. She will be zooming in with some of INXS's friends and finding out more about the INXS lifestyle, from people who knew them. 
We kick off with this special zoom chat with a Big friend to the show, Nick Egan. Nick Egan was not only a very close friend of Michael's but was also the art director and producer of the iconic Kick and X album covers, as well as directing a few of their music videos. This is part 1 of the zoom chat he had with a few of our fabulous Patrons.
