Late April and May is a special time in Australia, the UK and the USA where we commemorate our returned soldiers and remember those who fought so bravely to provide the freedom we deeply appreciate and enjoy today. Lest we forget.

Inspiring us with loyalty, mateship and bravery, a little band of brothers from the Northern Beaches of Sydney channeled the courage of our war heroes to traverse the globe with no guarantees, promises or favours to become the biggest band on the planet between 1988-1990 with style, sacrifice and substance.

In no way are we comparing the ultimate sacrifice of our war heroes to INXS however the DNA of true Aussie mateship, loyalty, commitment perseverance were traits INXS drew upon when many other bands before them disappeared after so much promise.

So Bee and I count down individually our “Top 7 moments” when INXS bravely fought against the odds, self-doubt and industry challenges to usurp their contemporaries such as Dire Straits, U2, The Police, Simple Minds and Duran Duran to become the biggest band in the world. Typically our lists vary but the sentiment and unabashed pride in INXS’ achievements evoke similarly.

So sit back and take a moment to enjoy the characteristics and attributes that created INXS’ success not just the outcomes. Love and peace

As we wish the world a Happy Easter, we thought what better occasion for INXS: Access all Areas to deep dive on that pop culture touchstone of highlighting INXS’ very own Easter Eggs, that being the trail of cultural touchstones they have left behind over some 48 years.

As with movies, books and music, artists often leave a trail and footprint in the cultural zeitgeist through multiple platforms such as movies, lyrics, sports and film clips and INXS are no different.

So Bee and I have great fun in this episode locating these cool little nuggets in some obvious and obscure places. We kick things off, pardon the pun at the peak of INXS’ international fame between 1987-1990 and divert into the world of movie and TV soundtracks. We then take a left turn to sports and bring it home with something more ethereal like religion, faith and spirituality. All whilst not taking ourselves too seriously!!!

So for all of you adults out there who seem to miss out on the Easter Bunny chocolate fix, sit back and get your own very dose and dollop of INXS Easter Eggs!!

Love and Peace

We're Back!

INXS:Access all Areas is pleased to take pause from all that is happening in the INXS multi-verse and acknowledge the musical maestro, genius and engine room that is

Andrew Charles Farriss on his recent 66th birthday.

Every great band has one member that is the musical juggernaut, auteur and sheer skill, creativity and vision to propel their band from good to great and INXS were fortunate enough to have such a person as Andrew Farriss despite his humble bowing to the collective unit.

So today we examine Andrew’s inimitable skills in songcraft, instrumentation, production and lyricism paying due homage to individual songs for INXS his influences and influence on the wider musical generations to follow. Forever evolving and challenging himself without fear or threat of changing trends and fads, we aim to dive deep on the real Andrew Farriss behind the music.
