She celebrated her birthday all the way in Sydney, without me. I told her to go get her law degree because no one could do it better. So because I cannot be there, I’ve decided to bang away on my keyboard like Kerouac and, without second drafts or Shift+F7 shortcuts, talk about the one thing that will bind us until we are decrepit, tattooed and toothless spinsters: rock and roll.

Two Sundays ago in an exclusive one-on-one with Conversations with Ricky Lo, INXS drummer Jon Farriss, when asked how new member J.D. Fortune (discovered in a 12-week search on the CBS reality-TV show Rock Star: INXS to replace soloist Michael Hutchence who died under mysterious circumstances in l997) is blending into the group, said, "He’s good; he’s really good. He’s blending very well into a band that has been together for many years, that has been touring for nearly 30 years.

INXS, Switch

Epic, 2006


A shared tale two decades removed: 


In May 1981, magnificent Manchester band Joy Division was on the verge of a US tour. In November 1997, magnificent Australian band INXS was on the verge of an anniversary tour.


Neither came to pass, as both their vocalists decided to end their lives that month – Ian Curtis in the kitchen of his home, Michael Hutchence in a Ritz Hotel room in Sydney.

Neither came to pass, as both their vocalists decided to end their lives that month – Ian Curtis in the kitchen of his home, Michael Hutchence in a Ritz Hotel room in Sydney.

INXS, one of the most popular bands in the history of Australian pop music is arriving for a concert at the Araneta Coliseum on Aug. 15. I am sure most of you recall some of the many hits  INXS came up with during its peak years in the ‘80s  up to the ‘90s. Remember Original Sin, which seems to play and play in your head forever? What about I Need You Tonight?

Rockstar: INXS took reality TV on a new level when it went in search of a new vocalist for INXS, the Australian rock band from the ‘80s. Ably hosted by TV personality Brooke Burke and rock guitarist Dave Navarro of Jane’s Addiction and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, the show went off in search of a replacement for the charismatic Michael Hitchence whom INXS lost to suicide in 1997. The competition was won by Canadian J.D.
