With a catalogue as extensive as INXSâ, 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 Gabrielâs âSteamâ clip. That aside, the social conscious messaging of the clip resonated nicely with the lyrical content whilst Michaelâs 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.

With the passage of time, many in the INXS fan community and wider musical world have had to accept that this great Australian icon of entertainment shall never grace us with his presence again.
With numerous tears shed, we like to look at January 22nd each year as a day of celebration. A day when in 1960, Michael Kelland Hutchence entered the world and changed life as many know it. A singer, a friend, a brother, a bandmate, a Father and a beacon of light for his peers.
So in todayâs episode of INXS: Access all Areas, we revisit a special past episode from way back to episode 88 where we pay homage to the immense contribution Michael had on all of those around him.
We miss you Michael!
Love and Peace

INXS: Access all Areas steps back into the Time Machine in this latest episode where we interview the wonderful Mal Walker from Guiness, the prequel band to INXS from the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Full of insightful anecdotes and unique moments in time, Mal recounts the early days when Tim, Kirk and Garry collaborated and set out on their musical journey with ambition, work ethic and inspiring drive.
Mal shares fascinating moments when the band got to record at ABC Studios, a venue INXS would go on to use on many occasions in the future plus the crossover circumstances of another pre INXS outfit, namely Dr Dolphin. Effusive in his praise for Tim, Kirk and Garry, it came as no surprise to him to see them reach the summit of the global music scene, hence was their inner commitment to making it work.
Without a hint of professional jealousy or envy, Mal shares the songs and albums INXS would go on to record & release as his desert island classics! The sense of brotherhood, respect and passion in Malâs words resonates throughout this episode and we think this is a ânot to be missed episodeâ where listeners can go back to a more innocent, simple but meaningful time when art, ambition and the stars aligned in a perfect way.
Love and peace

As we welcome in 2025, Bee and I get back to basics where we deep dive into our own individual top 10 âcool INXS momentsâ where the band set the trend, walked between the raindrops and reigned supreme with sauntering swagger!
In popular culture, there is often a time when an artist, actor, athlete or celebrity icon trailblaze their way into our hearts and minds inspiring aspiration and emulation. Throughout INXSâ career such moments were omni present with Michael and the band carving a sleek, slick & cool veneer underpinned with genuine substance and specialness often raising the bar for their contemporaries and emerging acts.
So with zero crossover between Bee and I cover a gamut of moments in time when INXS traversed gimmicky trends and artists but rather, set the cultural rock star zeitgeist in their own individual, creative and time honoured way.
With a freshly updated news section and hints of forthcoming episodes revealed, buckle up, undust your blue tooth and earbuds and enjoy the first episode of INXS: Access all Areas for 2025!!!

INXS: Access all Areas bring to you the most difficult of episodes since our Michael Hutchence funeral episode as we tackle Part Two of the Never Tear Us Apart Mini-Series circa 2014. That part of the INXS journey where Director Daina Reid tackles the wilderness years and unraveling of the band dynamic. Exhilarated but humbled by conquering the UK and European market culminating with the legendary Wembley gig in July 1991, INXS faced an undeserved and unwarranted backlash from their homeland. Episode two captures this and the ensuring dramas associated with trying to remain artistically and commercially relevant in a fast changing musical world with grunge, the Manchester scene and hip hop suddenly dominating the airwaves.
This episode manages to capture a band still producing creative and daring material amidst the pressures of fame, family, relationships and Manager pressures and expectations. But with commercial appeal waning and the band members scattered throughout the globe, we get a âwarts and allâ account from the inside as to the difficulty many bands face when attempting to keep the machine rolling along.
This episode respectfully deals with the obvious âelephant in the roomâ be it November 22nd, 1997 whilst criss-crossing time periods allowing the audience to appreciate the many decisions, compromises, struggles, sacrifices and commitment, INXS had to make during their career. As the show veers from re-creation into real spliced footage of the band traversing the world whist conquering countries, audiences, hearts and minds. Unabashedly and emotionally charged in more ways than one, we permit you to open up your soul and be proud of this Australian sextet who left an indelible footprint on the world.
Love and peace Haydn & Bee

This Weekâs Episode: Behind the Scenes of Creative Vandal Weâre beyond excited to bring you a special episode featuring an exclusive interview with Peter Pahor, the brilliant director behind Creative Vandalism, the award-winning documentary on our friend and podcast mentor, Nick Egan.
Nickâs journey with INXS started with a shared love of music and a friendship with Michael Hutchence back in the mid-â80s. That connection paved the way for some of the bandâs most iconic visuals, including the unforgettable Kick album cover, which continues to define the INXS legacy. But Nickâs influence didnât stop thereâhis creative genius took him on an impressive path, working with legendary artists like Duran Duran, Bob Dylan, Oasis, and Alanis Morissette, just to name a few.
Weâre proud to take a deep dive into how this documentary came to life, as Peter reveals the stories, inspirations, and behind-the-scenes moments that make Creative Vandalism a true masterpiece. So sit back, relax, and join us as we uncover the magic behind the making of this gem!

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 âThe Ascentâ 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 INXSâ 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 ârisk it allâ 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. We love you all.
Love and peace Haydn & Bee

Forever the creative soul, Michael Hutchence was born to be more than just a lead singer of an international rock band. From the early days, Michael embraced the theatrical possibilities of music video and was at the forefront in ensuring INXS songs captured a visual vibrancy and vitality.
As such, in todayâs episode we dive deep into the critical performances that shaped and piqued Michaelâs acting urges commencing in 1982 when Michael joined forces with iconic Cold Chisel songwriter, Don Walker in contributing to the seminal 1982 Australian film Freedom with two tracks and one video, notably Speed Kills that showcases a 21 year old Michael. The next 4 years were committed to INXSâ global ascent via albums Shabooh Shabaah, The Swing and Listen Like Thieves, plus the relentless touring attached to these triumvirate recordings. So, it took till 1986 for Michael to clear his schedule when the opportunity came up to star in Richard Lowensteinâs Dogs in Space came up. A movie that embraced the punk leanings of shared living suburbia amidst musical graft, this iconic art house movie has endured and influenced generations of fans and filmmakers over 38 years, despite its middling box office performance at the time.
Fast forward 4 years later post the juggernaut albums and tours that were Kick and X, Michael scratched a lifelong itch portraying famed British poet Percy Shelly, by joining Bridget Fonda, John Hurt, Jason Patric and Raul Julia in legendary Hollywood Director Roger Cormanâs last ever picture âFrankenstein Unboundâ. A true passion piece and one that Michael embraced with unyielding commitment and joy.
Finally, Michael portrayed a Record Executive mogul in the underwhelming indie feature âLimpâ that despite its problems, aroused the attention of both Michael Douglasâ and Quentin Tarantinoâs production companies with speculation of future projects in the offing.
Unfortunately, Michaelâs untimely passing thwarted what may have led a promising acting career into a burgeoning one. What is known, Michael possessed a charisma, a stare and a glare amidst an inner drive and creativity to succeed and express. One can only imagine what more he could have achieved in this space.

After deep diving on INXSâ 2010 Original Sin Album last week, we take a detailed look at the albumâs legacy, the influence of Chris Murphy on the band during this period and some of the exciting tour/setlists performances that accompanied this album release.
Having seen the band perform at Day on the Green at Rockford Estates Melbourne, Victoria in February 2011, the setlist provides an interesting backdrop to the sounds and styles of the album in a real time âlive settingâ with support bands including Train, Baby Animals and The Models.
The influence of Chris Murphy rejoining the band again in a creative and supporting role cannot be underestimated. He took the pressure and burden off the remaining 5 members of INXS to prove their worth and bona fides. Rather, he instilled faith and direction in the band to embrace their past, thrust their catalogue and pursue a band to brand strategy that inspired the band to look back and re-record the tracks that ended up being the Original Sin Album.
With a jam packed news section, tribute song for the ages and a whole lot more, we present to you another vital episode of INXS: Access all Areas.
Love and peace Haydn & Bee

Having completed nearly 200 gigs with JD Fortune via the Switch Album Tour over 2006-2007, INXS took a much needed break in 2008 to recharge the batteries and contemplate further new chapters in their career post Michael Hutchence. Amidst, a temporary falling out with JD, the band reunited with long term Manager Chris Murphy after a 14 year hiatus from band duties. With a renewed focus to move the band to a brand, the bank found inner inspiration when jamming in the studio during 2009 deconstructing old songs with new arrangements. As such, the idea to re-record some well known and unique deep cut INXS tracks was born with the idea of inviting select singers, DJâs and world music artists to lend a hand. A unique initiative rarely taken by a band and one normally reserved for tribute acts. With Jon Farriss and James Ash (Rogue Traders Founder) spearheading the production duties, the band put together an ambitious, creative and artistically successful album that avoided being a simple rehash or rebooting of existing soundscapes. With guest contributors including Ben Harper, Rob Thomas, Kav Temperley (Eskimo Joe), Pat Monahan (Train) and Nikka Costa, the album manages to incorporate modern production, excellent musicianship and soaring vocal performances imbuing a sense of celebration and admiration for INXSâ songs. The album undoubtedly did in 2010 and now in 2024 challenge ardent, stoic and rusted on fans whose ears may be permanently etched to the sounds of the original songs, however as we have said on many occasions, âlisten without prejudiceâ and youâll be in for a rare musical experience.
we also have a poll running on our Facebook page. So cast your votes on your top 5 songs off this album there. Love and peace âïž

Occasionally a song comes along that sits sedately surrounded by more spectacular songs but somehow over the journey of time reveals itself sonically, lyrically and emotionally within our hearts and minds. Thatâs the story of INXSâ masterpiece âThe Stairsâ from 1990âs X album.
After the one, two punch of Suicide Blonde and Disappear, both which climbed into the Billboard Top 10 Charts, The Stairs subtly and gradually provides a moment of introspective reflection in urban living amongst the masses and social alienation. With a contemplative introduction devoid of lyrics and full band interaction until the 80th second, INXS (according to Michael Hutchence) commit to a songwriting process and pathway that was to this point, their most ambitious recording. Absent was the traditional intro, verse, chorus, verse outro song structure with a greater emphasis on lyrical resonance and escalation.
With a passioned vocal by Michael and a film clip that supports the lyrical themes of isolation and lack of community connection, INXS create a soundscape, lyric and message that some 34 years later has current day meaning in this online heavy but community lacking world. Having done deep dive episodes on more prominent singles such as What you Need, Never tear us Apart, Donât Change, Burn for You and The One Thing, we are proud to share a unique deep cut that has only blossomed and grown in the hearts, minds and souls of true INXS fans since 1990.
