Hi All.

Anyone remember this good Aussie rock band?

I used to be a big fan of inxs in my teenage years. I've just recently pulled out some of those old dusty CD's to re-listen to their past hits, Mostly the kick album. My favorites of them are:

"I need you tonight"
"Never tear us apart"
"Mediate"
"Kiss the dirt"

Does anyone know if they have found a singer for the band? Not that anyone could replace Michael Hutchence. I know they have been touring with of John Stevens but I don't know if thats permanent.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I wanted to say that I really like "Slide Away" that Bono "finished" after Hutchence's death. The lyrics he added are very poignant in light of the suicide.

INXS was a great band. I say was, because I'm only familiar with work produced with Michael Hutchence. They had an original sound which managed to be endearing at the same time ... or maybe accessible.

I was never a big INXS fan in their heyday, but I do have some very fond memories of them; they were the first "real concert" I attended, a free performance at the Republique in Paris, Summer Solstice 1993. They did have some great songs...

Yeah...I read sometime ago that Michael and Bono were good friends. Unfortunately I missed his bio that was on tv. I just did a search for any news on Inxs and found that the band (looking for a singer) are holding auditions in six continents as part of a reality TV series called "INXS Rock Star" that will be broadcast in the US in July. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4245603.stmBut I fully agree with your dad that Michael will never be replaced, even if they do find a singer they are comfortable with. It will not be the same without Hutch.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I wanted to say that I really like "Slide Away" that Bono "finished" after Hutchence's death. The lyrics he added are very poignant in light of the suicide.

Agreed, powerful lyrics. Reminds me of "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" which Bono wrote on the topic of suicide, that when they were good friends and they talked about suicide and kind of promised each other not to kill themselves (from what I've heard).

I was a fan of Inxs before I found U2. I was very young about (thirteen or fourteen) when I got the kick LP, I played it all the time
And in the early nineties got some more albums such as "Shabooh Shoobah" "X" and "Live baby Live" on video. I really like the live version of "Wild life" it rocks!
