PROFILE: Starting out as the Farriss Brothers in Sydney, Australia, this sextet moved to Perth, changed their name to INXS, released an indie single (“Simple Simon”), and endlessly toured down under. After signing with Atlantic in the States, the guys put out Shahooh Shoohah, The Swing, Listen Like Thieves and their latest, Kick, each sounding different than the one before it... and the same six guys are in the band to this day.

BEER: Boy Howdy!
