INXS boeken

INXS boeken voor een optreden? When Andrew Farriss first crossed Michael Hutchence, they were both high school students. They met when Andrew broke up a fight that Michael was involved in. The two became instant friends, and found that they shared a very strong interest in one thing - music. By the end of their high school days, circa 1977, they formed a band called "The Farriss Brothers" which was composed of Andrew, his two brothers Tim and Jon, Kirk Pengilly, Garry Gary Beers, and Michael. Within a couple of years, the sextet refined their sound and changed their name to INXS (pronouned IN EXCESS.) Little did the Perth, Australia-based band realize the magnitude of success that awaited them in the years to come. Though INXS had become well-known around the world, it was not until 1985' "Listen Like Thieves" that they became house-hold names. The album was the first to go platinum (1 million units sold) in the US, and featured their first US Top 10 single, "What You Need." Behind their growing popularity were two things - their unique style of rock rhythms and their continual touring of the world. The album features such singles as "This Time," "What You Need," "Listen Like Thieves," and "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)." 1987 saw INXS explode into one of the most famous bands in the world... ever. "Kick" not only sold 4 million copies in the US, but 10 million worldwide, and still stands today as one of the most famous albums of all time. "Need You Tonight," the lead single, hit #1 in the US and many other countries, and went on to win 5 awards at the MTV Video Music Awards show in 1988. The string of hits on the album is near legendary: "Devil Inside," "New Sensation," "Never Tear Us Apart," and "Guns in the Sky." The album featured killer hooks and rhythms, great melodies, well-written lyrics, and more. With two successful stadium tours INXS had finally scaled the world. Regardless of the rumors circulating around Hutchence's death, INXS' remaining members went on an indefinite hubris for many years. Showing themselves to the press once again, they held a talent show on national television to decide the successor of Hutchence. With the remaining members of the band serving as judges, a godsend was found when the band heard their would-be new singer, JD Fortune, on stage for the audition. Since the talent show and the discovery of JD Fortune, INXS is back in full-swing, releasing "Pretty Vegas", a smash-hit single, and doing tours thru-out the country. For everyone that thought one of the few good things that came out of the 80's had died, think again.
