INXS TO ROCK THE HUNTER!
With Train, The Baby Animals and Sean Kelly
Bimbadgen Estate – Saturday January 29 2011
An exciting new chapter in the illustrious career of INXS is about to begin, with the announcement
of their first Australian tour in four years exclusively for a day on the green to support their
eagerly-awaited new album.
The band with special guest JD Fortune will play their only Australian shows at wineries nationally
in January/February next year, including Bimbadgen Estate, Hunter Valley on Saturday January 29.
Joining INXS will be US Grammy-Award winners TRAIN, whose blues and folk-infused rock has
propelled them to the top of the charts around the world. The reformed Baby Animals and ARIA
Hall of Fame inductee Sean Kelly (from Models) complete this stellar line-up.
For more than 30 years INXS have maintained their position as a great and consummate global
rock band. With more than 35 million album sold, an enviable reputation for live performance and
a collection of master hits that have stood the test of time, INXS remain one of our most-loved
and respected treasures.
The band’s upcoming album heralds a new beginning with guest vocalists joining the five band
members to rework classic INXS songs into new incarnations. The project has been in progress for
the past year, with Ben Harper’s version of ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ released last month as the first
tantalising taste of what is to come. Tracks have been recorded by Rob Thomas (Matchbox 20)
Pat Monahan (Train), Kav Temperley (Eskimo Joe), hip hop star Tricky and JD Fortune, with more
to be announced. The album is a unique, challenging and inspiring way to bring classic INXS songs
into the modern era and to a whole new audience.
“INXS is really excited to be playing in some great locations around Australia, and to our fans,”
Andrew Farriss of INXS said. “Also having Train, The Baby Animals and Sean Kelly on the same
stages we will be playing to their fans as well as ours – so it should be a sight to see. We’ll see
you there!”
One of the artists featuring on the INXS album, Patrick Monahan and his band TRAIN will take up
the special guest support slot. With their triple platinum #1 single ‘Hey Soul Sister’, the top 5
airplay hit ‘If It’s Love’ and the new single ‘Save Me, San Francisco’ (from the album of the same
name) all dominating radio, Train have been re-energised as one of the most successful chart acts
of the year. After playing theatre shows here in June, the band are looking forward to the larger
winery shows and introducing their music to a wider audience.
THE BABY ANIMALS roared into Aussie rock history with their 8 times platinum self-titled debut
album in the early 90s, with hits like ‘Early Warning’, ‘One Word’ and ‘Rush You’ firmly establishing
the band, and its charismatic front woman Suze De Marchi. After disbanding in 1996, they made
a hugely popular return in 2008, and again earlier this year in the ‘Rock N Roll Symphony’ national
tour with Chrissie Amphlett and Diesel. Suze has recently returned to Sydney after decades in the
US, and with original Baby Animals partner Dave Leslie is working on new material and keen to hit
the stage again.
The announcement that Models would be inducted into this year’s ARIA Hall Of Fame is
recognition of the status this pioneering Melbourne band and its pioneering frontman SEAN KELLY
has always held. Emerging from the post new wave scene, Models’ produced ground-breaking
albums ‘The Pleasure Of Your Company’ and ‘Out Of Mind Out Of Sight’. Kelly then joined up with
friend Wendy Matthews to form the hugely successful Absent Friends. Kelly has continued to work
as a producer and performer with his solo combo and leading various Models reunions and makes
his a day on the green debut on this tour.
So there you have it – INXS, Train, The Baby Animals and Sean Kelly (from Models), another
stellar line-up to continue the celebrations for a day on the green’s 10th birthday season.
