After 20 years of being eligible for the World Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, INXS finally, on February 25th, 2026, have been formally nominated for inclusion, leading to an outpouring of global joy and pride amongst music fans and critics. Andrew Farriss exclusively shared with Billboard how proud he, his bandmates and the late Michael Hutchence would have been to be recognised amongst their peers. "To matter musically" was more important than fads, trends and commercial success, and this nomination is an important validation of this notion. INXS were one of ten new nominees out of a field of 17 artists recognised, and were understandably faced stiff opposition from fellow nominees such as Joy Division/New Order, Billy Idol and Phil Collins insofar as the Hall's recognition of artists that peaked in the 80's. In April 2026, the final induction list shall be announced, but you can have a voice and influence this outcome by voting via the Rock Hall's fan voting portal https://vote.rockhall.com/ So do yourself a favour, share the link with everybody you do and don't know and in the words of Michael Hutchence' lyric to Kick: “Cmon, Cmon, Cmon, Cmon” and ensure justice is done in April whereby the band INXS are rightly ordained into the Rock Hall of Fame along with their many influences The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Roxy Music etc… and we can all congregate in Cleveland and celebrate this iconic and wonderful recognition Love and peace  Haydn & Bee https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com/  

Songwriting icon Andrew Farriss reveals how walking away from the "meaningless" city life to run a cattle station in regional NSW saved him from the destructive excesses of rock stardom.

Join us as we delve into the remarkable journey of Garry Gary Beers, the bassist of the legendary Australian rock band INXS. From his early beginnings, through the meteoric rise of INXS, to his current musical endeavours with AshenMoon, Garry's story is a testament to passion, resilience, and evolution in the music industry.Early Life and Musical GenesisBorn in Manly, Sydney, Australia, Garry was introduced to the world of music during his high school years. He initially picked up the acoustic guitar and formed a band with his schoolmates. A twist of fate led him to switch to the bass guitar, a decision that would shape his entire future . The transition was serendipitous, and paved the way for him to meet Andrew Farriss. Together, they formed the band Dr. Dolphin, which eventually evolved into The Farriss Brothers, and later, the globally acclaimed INXS. INXS emerged as a powerhouse in the rock and new wave scenes of the 80s and 90s. The band's unique blend of rock, pop, and dance elements resonated with audiences worldwide. Garry's bass lines became the backbone of numerous chart-topping hits, including "Need You Tonight," "Devil Inside," "Never Tear Us Apart," and "Suicide Blonde." Garry also co-wrote several tracks like "Listen Like Thieves," "Don't Change," and "Perfect Strangers." The band toured relentlessly and Michael Hutchence's dynamic stage presence solidified the band's reputation, leading to sales of over 70 million albums and induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2001. Following Michael's tragic passing in 1997, INXS faced tumultuous times. Garry explored various musical avenues and in 89, during a hiatus from INXS, joined the group Absent Friends.Garry soonn relocated to Los Angeles, immersing himself in songwriting and production. His passion for craftsmanship led him to design and build his own line of bass guitars under the brand GGB Basses, merging his love for music with his skills in woodwork and electronics. Garry co-founded AshenMoon when he teamed up with fellow Australian vocalist Toby Rand. The band embarked on a journey to create a fresh yet nostalgically resonant sound. Their self-produced tracks, including singles like "GODTANK," "DON'T WAKE ME," and "STARGAZE," have garnered attention for their raw energy and melodic depth. The band is about to tour Australia for the very first time.Garry Gary Beers's story is a fascinating one. As a member of INXS, he played a crucial role in shaping the band's sound, which continues to influence artists across genres. His dedication to his craft, whether through performing, songwriting, or instrument design, underscores a career marked by passion and creativity. Throughout his career, Garry has also maintained a strong connection with his fans. His engaging stage presence and genuine appreciation for his audience have endeared him to music lovers everywhere.

With a catalogue as extensive as INXS', there was bound to be moments in time when certain songs captured the zeitgeist attention of the music buying public and critics. Look no further than January 28th, 1988 when a humble hard working sextet from Australia hit number one on the Billboard Charts with Need You Tonight. A song, that now, sounds so familiar, crisp and radio friendly but then, a new modern twist on funk, soul and pop with sound production so cutting edge, every breath, ooh and aah sounded like Michael Hutchence was singing it to you directly from your living room. Combined with an innovative, breathtaking and cutting edge video clip, Need you Tonight put INXS into the stratosphere of superstardom and success. MTV awards ensued, world tours were booked and the album Kick had the necessary momentum to spawn 4 subsequent hit singles and international acclaim. Five years later in February 1993, a less prominent and commercially successful track was released as the fifth single to Welcome to Wherever You are, namely Beautiful Girl. A self-penned track by Andrew Farriss as an ode to new fatherhood, this restrained, mellow and resonant song showcased a maturity, subtlety and consciousness to both the INXS writing and recording process. Charting steadily if not spectacularly, the film clip by Mark Pellington of U2 and Pearl Jam fame would garner a Grammy nomination for Best Video of the Year losing out to Peter Gabriel's “Steam” clip. That aside, the social conscious messaging of the clip resonated nicely with the lyrical content whilst Michael's channeling of Lou Reed, circa The Velvet Underground era only added to its worthiness. So sit back and reminisce as we step back in time and honour two distinct but two important songs in the INXS catalogue that still resonate 37 and 32 years later respectively.

Es ist dieses eine berühmte Lick von „Need You Tonight“, das heute noch allgegenwärtig ist und den meisten Menschen ins Gedächtnis kommt, wenn sie an INXS denken. Unzählige andere kennen dieses Lick, obwohl sie gar nicht wissen, wer die Band dahinter ist. „Need You Tonight“ hat den Test der Zeit bestanden. Irgendwie ungerecht. Denn INXS waren mehr als das, sie waren eine der größten Bands der 80er Jahre. Das sagen nicht nur Zeitzeugen, das belegt ihre unglaubliche Discographie: „Original Sin“, „What You Need“, „Mystify“, „Never Tear Us Apart“, „Suicide Blonde“, „Beautiful Girl“ – auf ihren Best Ofs ist jeder Hit ein Hit. Hinter dem Pop-Funk-Rock-Gemisch steckte eine sehr tighte spielende Band, mit Andrew Farriss ein genialer Komponist und natürlich ein herausragender Frontmann. Michael Hutchence – fantastischer Sänger, mystifying Rebel, Sex God, der Jim Morrison seiner Generation. Und ein unglaublich sympathischer Typ, ehe ein Schicksalsschlag in die Fresse und eine verzwickte Beziehungskonstellation alles veränderte. In Episode #101INXS erzählen wir die Geschichte der Band mit Focus auf Michael Hutchence nach, der zusammen mit Gitarrist Tim Farriss auch selber zu Wort kommt. Zu Gast ist zum zweiten Mal Musikjournalist Thorsten Sutter, der die beiden damals getroffen hat und die Band auch noch live erlebt hat.

Plongez dans les coulisses de la création d'un des plus grands tubes du rock ! Dans cet épisode de Music Story, Pat Angeli dévoile les secrets de « Need You Tonight » d'INXS, le morceau phare qui a propulsé le groupe australien sur la scène mondiale. Initialement non prévu pour l'album Kick, ce hit sensuel doit son fameux riff de guitare à une idée de Andrew Farriss… dans un taxi ! Découvrez aussi le destin tragique de Michael Hutchence, leader charismatique du groupe. Une histoire passionnante sur un tube culte à ne pas manquer !

After 4.5 years, INXS: Access all Areas reaches a special milestone of 200 episodes and what better way to celebrate than commemorate the Mini Series: Never Tear Us Apart starting with a deep dive into Part One. The episode that we coined “The Ascent” where we see the band climb from humble beginnings to the career zenith of Wembley 1991. With impeccable casting and production values from Endemol Shine Australia, this iconic mini series launched on Australian TV on Sunday February 9th, 2014 and concluded the following week on February 16th to record ratings for the Channel 7 network. Filmed in Melbourne Australia with a cast of known but not overtly famous actors, Director Daina Reid elicits heartfelt and acute performances particularly from industry veteran Damon Herriman whose portrayal of INXS Manager Chris Murphy may be the shrewdest casting in many years. With a swathe of songs representing INXS' early career success in Australia, fans and the less initiated are taken into a heady and nostalgic period when music and gigs were the soundtrack and vehicle for youth culture and entertainment. Additionally, we get to see the work ethic, commitment and sacrifice of an emerging band who had the courage to leave the safety and earnings potential of Australian shores and “risk it all” by tackling the behemoth that was America. Inspiring, endearing, passionate and purposeful, go back and watch with fresh eyes and ears before listening to this podcast!! A big thank you to everyone that sent in their thanks to add this episode hearing From Tim and Andrew Farriss, Leigh Francis, our wonderful friends and patrons but not forgetting Nick Egan celebrating our achievements with a firework ending.

Interview by Kris PetersWhile the term family is often bandied about in the world of music, it is generally used as more of an affectionate term when used to describe the bond that develops between band members.Not often is it used in the literal term. But when it is, you can be sure that you are in for something special.Think Angus and Malcolm Young from AC/DC, Andrew Farriss, Jon Farriss, and Tim Farriss (INXS), Eddie and Alex Van Halen to name but a few, but while the natural chemistry of siblings is a powerful force when harnessed by verse, it is an all too rare occurrence.Looking through that list, there are a few bands with three family members spread here and there, but I have yet to come across a band from the rock persuasion that is made up of four members of the same family. Until now.Australia's own Sisters Doll, (Brennan, Austin and Bryce Mileto) have expanded their numbers by one to include younger brother Sage as part of their line-up moving forward, with the newest devotee to rock and roll showcasing his wares on the new track Don't Give Up On Us, with the music video announcing his addition to the band's legions of fans.Brennan and Austin both sat down with HEAVY to talk about the new song and… well, family."It's done really well so far," Brennan enthused of the new track. "We did a bit of a livestream before the video dropped to build the suspense and build the hype, because we really believe in this song. It's kind of been one of our favourites from the album. It is more of the ballad from the album, but so far we've got a great response. A lot of good responses on the video too, which is exciting. Obviously, it unveils our new bass player, which is kind of the talking point at the moment. Having Sage in there has sparked a few more people to jump on and have a look - especially people back home. Compared to the last one Change, which we did last year, it's probably doing a little bit better."In the full interview, the boys discussed a range of personal and professional topics. They talked about the positive response to their new album's ballad and the unveiling of their new bass player, Sage. They also discussed the strategic decision to release the audio before the video to boost streaming numbers and create anticipation for the music video.Additionally, they highlighted the need to strategically unveil Sage to maintain the surprise for the show. They also delved into the meaning behind their new song Don't Give Up on Us, highlighting its dual significance related to relationships and the band's perseverance.Furthermore, they provided insights into their plans for the album launch show at Max Watts on January 25 next year, indicating that it will feature a mix of new and existing songs, with a focus on gauging audience reception for future performances. They also discussed the evolution of their performances, emphasizing their dedication to delivering high energy shows and their commitment to creating a memorable experience for the audience. The conversation also covered the band's upcoming plans, including the release of their new single, pre-orders for the new album, and their upcoming shows and tours, showcasing the band's excitement for the future.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

With INXS refreshed and revitalized post Rock Star INXS, the band entered the Westlake Studios in Los Angeles, California. With a brand new front man, JD Fortune to record and mix their 11th studio release aptly named Switch, further mixing was completed both at MixStar Studios at Virginia Beach, Virginia and Sphere Studios in London, UK. Nearly 8.5 years since their final recording with Michael Hutchence on Elegantly Wasted, the band wasted no time between September-November 2005 laying down 11 tracks that would represent the dawn of a new era for the band and be the precursor to a World Tour in 2006. Produced by Guy Chambers, formerly with World Party and main Co-Writer with Robbie Williams, he and Andrew Farriss were able to unite and combine for an album that sounded fresh, vital, progressive but with that typical INXS DNA underpinning its sound and sonics. Today, we examine Side One's 5 tracks spearheaded by the international hits that were Pretty Vegas and Afterglow whilst also discussing the narrative, expectations and experiences of other rock bands that have lost front man over their careers whether it be by departure or unfortunate passing. So as the famous line from George Michael's second album denoted, “listen without prejudice” and revel in a time when INXS challenged themselves, the critics and the wider fan base with a new singer, sound and a bunch of songs that heralded a new era for them!

As we put a bow around our three part series on Rock Star INXS, we breakdown the Top Ten Reels from the show that highlighted the strengths and joys of the show that still resonate 19 years after airing. Unlike many reality shows that were steeped in manipulation, occasional humiliation and cheesy contrived antics, Rock Star INXS in 2005 was a breath of fresh air insofar as allowing contestants to develop their talent, thrive in musical clinics and perform to a band judging panel that were educated, empathetic and 100% versed in the task at hand. With a catalogue of artists and songs from icons such as the Beatles, the Stones, the Police, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Alanis Morissette, The Who and Living Colour, the contestants were able to draw inspiration from these classic songs whilst showcasing their talent to the world. That being said, today we count down, share and relive the 10 most memorable moments that made Rock Star INXS, despite its critics, a worthy and exciting chapter in the post Michael era. Plus providing the band with a renewed platform to continue doing what they loved doing, making and playing fantastic music. Finally, we give a massive shoutout to the incomparable Garry Gary Beers who turns 67 this week and we share some exciting news regarding Andrew Farriss' new single and video in our bumper news section.

What follows is one of the most interesting and out there sliding doors moments whereby JD Fortune goes “psychotically clever” (according to rival Marty Casey) and constructs his own version outside group directive In addition, we are launching a brand new segment that shall allow any current or future patron to participate on any forthcoming episode with an emphasis on past concerts performed by INXS during their 1977-2012 live career.

Shaun just happened to be part of “The Keep,” a Davidson High band that included iconic INXS members Michael Hutchence, Garry Beers and Andrew Farriss.   We take listeners back nearly 50 years ago when the early genius of Andrew was on full display, to Shaun and a raw, broody and emerging Michael who was developing his singing and stage craft.   Interestingly, we take a deep dive with both Shaun and Scott into the magic of early synth soundscapes of the emerging 1980's, highlighting Gary Numan, Simple Minds, Icehouse, Human League and Kraftwerk.   The duo's love for INXS shines through as we dive deep on the bands complex and versatile sonics and legendary vocal phrasing of Michael. Their passion and respect comes through.   Finally, we make a big announcement regarding an upcoming guest that, simply stated, will be our biggest musician to ever appear on our show.

INXS (a phonetic play on "in excess") were an Australian rock band, formed as the Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. The founding members were bassist Garry Gary Beers, main composer and keyboardist Andrew Farriss, drummer Jon Farriss, guitarist Tim Farriss, lead singer and main lyricist Michael Hutchence, and guitarist and saxophonist Kirk Pengilly. For 20 years, INXS was fronted by Hutchence, whose magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band. Initially known for their new wave/pop style, the band later developed a harder pub rock style that included funk and dance elements.In 1984, INXS had their first number-one hit in Australia with "Original Sin". The band achieved international success in the mid-to-late 1980s and early 1990s with the hit albums Listen Like Thieves, Kick, and X, and the singles "What You Need", "Need You Tonight" (the band's only US number-one single), "Devil Inside", "Never Tear Us Apart", "Suicide Blonde" and "New Sensation". After Hutchence's death on 22 November 1997, INXS made appearances with several guest singers, and toured and recorded with Jon Stevens as lead singer, beginning in 2000. In 2005, members of INXS participated in Rock Star: INXS, a reality television series that culminated in the selection of Canadian J.D. Fortune as their new lead singer. Irish singer-songwriter Ciaran Gribbin replaced Fortune as lead singer in 2011. During a concert on 11 November 2012, INXS stated that the performance would be their last, although they did not announce the band's permanent retirement. INXS won six Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards, including three for "Best Group" in 1987, 1989 and 1992; the band was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2001. INXS has sold over 70 million albums worldwide, making them one of Australia's highest selling music acts of all time.Complete setlist - 5/18/23Corey Hart - Never SurrenderCommentaryGenesis - Man On The CornerDon Henley - The Boys Of SummerTina Turner - We Don't Need Another Hero (Beyond Thunderdome)CommentaryINXS - The One Thing (extended)INXS - Don't ChangeCommentaryINXS - Here Comes IIINXS - Original Sin/commentaryINXS -What You NeedINXS - I Send A MessageINXS - To Look At YouCommentaryINXS - The Album "Kick" Side AGuns In The SkyNew SensationDevil InsideNeed You Tonight/MediateThe Loved OneCommentaryINXS - The Album "Kick" Side BWild LifeNever Tear Us ApartMystifyKickCalling All NationsTiny DaggersCommentaryINXS - Disappear INXS - Suicide BlondeRecorded live at the She Shack Studio on April 17th and 18th 2023.© Copyright Danny Diess

Das sechste Studioalbum von INXS "Kick" erschien im Oktober 1987 und verhalf der Band zu internationaler Popularität. Weltweit wurde die Platte 20 Millionen mal verkauft. 1977 startet die Band zunächst mit dem Namen "Farriss Brothers", ab 1979 nennen sie sich INXS. In Australien gelten sie als ausgezeichnete Live-Band, spielen in sogenannten Pub Gigs in Kneipen. 1982 schaffen sie es mit der Single "The One Thing" dank MTV in die US-Top 30 und spielen als Vorband von Queen. Mit "Kick" hatten sich INXS vorgenommen, international durchzustarten mit einer Mischung aus Rock, Funk und Soul und einem Album, auf dem jeder Song eine Hitsingle hätte sein können - am Ende waren es fünf an der Zahl - der größte Hit, "Need You Tonight" erreichte in den USA Platz 1 der Single-Charts. Dabei weigert sich das Plattenlabel Atlantic Records zunächst, die Platte, die in Sydney und Paris aufgenommen wird, zu veröffentlichen. Erst eine erfolgreiche Collegeradio-Tour führt dazu, dass die Platte schließlich doch erscheint. Ein Erfolsgeheimnis von INXS ist, dass sie Funk mit Rock verweben und so einen treibenden Groove generieren. Dabei nutzen sie alle zur Verfügung stehenden musikalischen Mittel: Exzessiven Drum Computer, Schlagzeug, dominante E-Gitarren, Saxophon. Typisches Stilmittel im Sound dieses INXS-Albums sind die Spannung erzeugenden Pausen, wie besonders in "Need You Tonight" und "Never Tear Us Apart". Texten und Komponieren funktionieren beim Album "Kick" kongenial: Musikalisches Mastermind war Andrew Farriss, Michael Hutchence dagegen konnte singen und texten. Für das Album haben die Brüder erstmals Musik und Texte alleine produziert, ohne die Hilfe des Labels oder anderer Autoren. Warum dieses Album so bedeutend war, worin die Raffinessen in der Komposition bestehen und viele andere Hintergründe zu "Kick" – darüber sprechen wir in dieser Folge des SWR1 Meilensteine Podcasts. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Kick" wird im Podcast gesprochen 09:40 Mins – "Guns In The Sky" 15:13 Mins – "New Sensation" 29:54 Mins – "Devil Inside" 37:30 Mins – "Never Tear Us Apart" 48:00 Mins – "Never Tear Us Apart" (Soul-Version) 54:06 Mins – "See You Tonight" __________ Über diese Songs wird außerdem im Podcast gesprochen 12:37 Mins – "Housequake" von Prince 49:25 Mins – "I Put A Spell On You" von Screamin Jay Hawkins 50:58 Mins – "The Show Must Go On" von Queen __________ Links zum Podcast: 10 Dinge, die man über INXS nicht weiß: https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/inxs-kick-10-things-you-didnt-know-127082/Die offizielle utobiographie: https://archive.org/details/inxsstorytostory00inxsClassic Rock Review zum 30sten: https://classicrock.net/review-inxs-kick-30-limited-deluxe-edition/Rolling Stone Review zum 30sten: https://www.rollingstone.de/reviews/inxs-kick-30/YouTube Channel von INXS: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAldEKRD6LXGd8FAXI6Oo3w__________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?
