Biography

INXS were formed from The Farriss Brothers, constituted by Andrew Farriss, Kirk Pengilly, Tim Farriss, Michael Hatchence, Jon Farriss and Garry Gary Beers. For the first two years, they had been giving minor performances at pubs to enhance their skills and form their own style based on dance and soul music. After singing a contract with the Deluxe Records, the musicians renamed their band to INXS. The same title was given to their first album, released in 1980. It contained the song Just Keep Walking to enter Top 40 in Australia. It was followed by the tour across the band’s mother country. INXS enlarged their support fast, and their second album, Underneath The Colours (1981), became one of the twenty best in the national charts. It was a sign for the musicians to grow further, and they made an agreement with Atlantic Records. The third studio work, Shabooh Shoobah (1982), was delivered to stores of Australia and far beyond.
