  • Epi 171: INXS 1999 with Sananda Maitreya/ Terence Trent D’Arby

    Having had over 18 months to process the passing of Michael Hutchence, INXS were presented with the unique opportunity to spearhead the opening of Stadium Australia. The venue that would in the year 2000, be the home of the Sydney Olympic Games.

    With ex Australian cricketing icon Dean Jones putting the deal together, INXS were proud to be the lead musical act that preceded the Australian Socceroos playing the FIFA All-Stars on June 12th, 1999 with over 90,000 spectators packing the venue. All they needed was a lead singer!!! Easier said than done.

    Enter famed USA soul, pop and R&B vocalist Sananda Maitreya then know as Terence Trent Darby, who some 10 years earlier, “came like a comet” (hello The Waterboys) onto the music scene with his 10,000,000 + Introducing the Hardline debut album. Was this to be a one-off? A rent-try-buy arrangement or some other modus operandi.

    Tune in to INXS: Access all Areas to find out all the answers to the above questions and also embrace in what was an unlikely musical union, albeit just for one night!!

    Love and peace

  • Epi 169: INXS “1998- And then there were 5!”
    When a family, a band and a fan base lose somebody as omnipresent as Michael Hutchence, it’s inevitable that a period of uncertainty, angst and healing are required. That’s what 1998 was for INXS as each member had to come to terms with their lives irrevocably changing forever.
     
    So in today’s INXS AAA podcast episode, we examine the environment and circumstances that faced the band, management, the fans and upsurge in tabloid media as we tried to make sense in a world without Michael Hutchence. Would the band tour again? Change their name? Release any recordings with Michael? Get a new singer? Have a tribute concert for Michael? Or even talk to the media sharing their feelings and thoughts on Michael’s passing.
     
    All of these questions and a whole lot more are examined and discussed in-depth, so sit back and deep dive with us on INXS: Access all Areas Episode 169. Love and Peace

  • Epi 168: R.I.P Michael Hutchence 22/11/1997
    It’s that unfortunate time of the year where we pause, commiserate and commemorate the passing of Michael Kelland Hutchence. Iconic singer, loyal band mate, friend, father and idol to many.
     
    Unlike other years, our anthology podcast has caught up with the 1997 period and as difficult as it is for us and our loyal listeners, we need to recount the events that preceded and proceeded that fateful day.
     
    We do so with compassion, earnestness, regret and heartfelt sadness, but importantly stay on point with facts not solacious innuendo or clickbait. Importantly, we release this episode on the exact day some 26 years later and hope that talking about Michael’s loss does some good for those struggling to reconcile this tragic event.
     
    There weren’t many men's support initiatives or mental health awareness and wellbeing programs back in 1997. So we hope that for anyone struggling in their own day to day world, you seek the necessary assistance.
     
    Love and Peace

  • Epi 167: The Nile Rodger’s Deep Dive
    Having spoken with Hall of Famer, Nile Rodgers last week, we are pleased to examine the career legacy, influence on generations of artists and the technical prowess that is funk/dance music.
     
    Harking back to James Brown, George Clinton’s Funkadelic and Sly and The Family Stone, Nile and Chic took the baton in 1977 and created a soundscape that inspired hundreds of artists most notably “our INXS”!
     
    We get to hear some fascinating “time and place” anecdotes from Darryl Hall, Tim Farriss, Michael Hutchence and Jon Farriss in working with Nile Rodgers combined with the huge respect that Nile had for the drumming exploits of Jon Farriss. And with the power of You Tube, we might even have a unique song opening to episode 167 with the band warming up to an obscure Nile solo song: Yum Yum!!
     
     
    So sit back, pour a drink of your favourite poison and embrace the genius that is Nile Rodgers Part 2!
     
    Love and Peace

  • Epi 165: Young Johnny Farriss
    With two weeks off, Bee and I are back with renewed vigor and passion as we welcome to the show Shaun and Scott from Voxneon. 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. All that and a whole lot more!
     
    Love and Peace ✌️ Haydn

  • Epi 164: Mark Pope Interview. Part two
    In this episode of INXS Access All Areas, we zero in on Australian Made with Mark Pope, who along with Chris Murphy planned, coordinated and executed the biggest array of Australian musical talent on stage in each capital city.
     
    With further anecdotes and insights, what shines through when chatting to Mark is his true love of Australian music, the live touring scene and assisting bands and acts becoming the best they can be. We get the feeling that there are so many more stories Mark Pope shall share with us again.
     
    In addition, we have the biggest news section in 164 episodes with new “Record Store Day” releases imminent and detailed updates on the Calling All Nations book release and processes.
     
    Hey! We even had time to celebrate (or commiserate) on 1999 with a “Pleasure or Pain” snapshot that doesn’t hold back on what was a fascinating end of the century time in music. Limp Bizkit and Britney Spears fans—you’ve been warned!!!
     
    All that and a whole lot more, so buckle down and “forget about the troubles in life” and enjoy this latest episode of the only 100% dedicated INXS podcast on the planet!

  • Epi 163: Mark Pope Interview, part one
    They say behind every great band, there is a great team, and this is definitely the case with INXS. The world knows about the profound influence Chris Murphy had on the band becoming an international juggernaut.
     
    What is less known is the immense workload and influence that Mark Pope had on supporting and creating an infrastructure and pathway to allow INXS to do what they do best: play live and thrive!
     
    Recruited by Chris Murphy in the late 1970’s, Mark cut his teeth looking after luminary Aussie acts such as The Angels and Cold Chisel. With obvious passion and dedication, he aligned with Chris to create the legendary Australian Made Concert series over the Summer of 1986/87 in all capital cities.
     
    Never one to rest on his laurels, Mark managed Jimmy Barnes, headed up the ARIA Awards Hall of Fame committee, resuscitated Warner’s Australia in the 1990’s and in recent times set up Helium Records.
     
    In a modern world where streaming, corporate suits and cliché recording productions reign with often soulless results, Mark Pope is a true linchpin of what’s great about INXS and Australian music heritage.
