It’s that solemn date 0f 22/11 again where we pay homage and respect to the dearly departed Michael Hutchence who left us 27 years ago today.

Forever in our hearts and the forefront of our minds, we’d like to do something a little different this year. Instead of hearing from Bee, myself, the INXS fan cohort, band mates and friends, we thought a montage of rare, known and classic Michael interviews would be welcome.

Once again, we can be reminded of his fantastic talking voice, articulate thoughts and unique take on INXS place in the musical sphere.

So close your eyes, open your heart and ears and enjoy the dulcet spoken words of a long lost, but still loved icon that is Michael Kelland Hutchence.

Love and peace

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 “warts and all” 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 “elephant in the room” 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 Week’s Episode: Behind the Scenes of Creative Vandal We’re 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.

Nick’s journey with INXS started with a shared love of music and a friendship with Michael Hutchence back in the mid-‘80s. That connection paved the way for some of the band’s most iconic visuals, including the unforgettable Kick album cover, which continues to define the INXS legacy. But Nick’s influence didn’t stop there—his 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.

We’re 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!
