Happy 2026 New Year cheer to everyone in the INXS community and welcome to our 6th year of unique INXS Podcast content. We kick off the year with the wonderful Lucinda Clutterbuck, famed Australian animator and film clip maker to INXS’ 1993 “Please, you got that need”. A video that formed part of the Full Moon Dirty Hearts Album Visual project helmed by Richard Lowenstein.

Interview with Steve Hanft. Kick 2017 Video with Director Steve Hanft “Watch the world argue, argue with itself, who’s going to teach me peace and happiness” (Dancing on the Jetty 1983)...  Never have these words and lyrics been more appropriate as all Australians try to make sense of the abhorrent terrorism at Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach. A beach with so many INXS connections that we discuss on this episode. That aside, we dedicate this episode to every person affected by th

INXS Podcast Episode 236 As we enter that festive time of year, there has been so much going on in the INXS world and broader rock music community with numerous tours, anniversary dates and industry events. As such, Bee and I thought it was appropriate to take stock and simply chat about all of these in a unique deep dive with an obvious INXS slant.  There are at least 10 significant anniversary dates about past INXS releases, celebrating another yearly milestone.  With Thank

Full Moon Dirty Hearts, released in 1993, was an overlooked gem, comin

Obviously, the INXS fan community are disappointed with their continued omission; however, Bee and I get to dive deep with the USA Podcast team of “Who Cares about the Rock Hall of Fame” namely Host Joe Kwaczala
