April 1996
April
29, 1996:
INXS made
an appearance from the recording studio last night on Ray Coke's new MTV
Europe show "X-Ray Vision." They even played some new music, which was
considered amazing by the INXS-List member who caught the program.
April
25, 1996: (from Mary Woods)
Mary Woods,
the Fan Club Prez, just got off the phone with Paul Craid, INXS' Manager.
Here's some of what he said:
The band
is extrememly excited about the new album, like nothing he's seen before.
It's going to be very 90's, no retro 80's sound for them. They're rehearsing
in London right now and heading to Vancouver this weekend to begin recording
with Bruce Fairbairn. He's keeping his fingers crossed for that release
date of Sept/Oct.
INXS is going
to release a cd-rom. The work begins on it next week in London. No more
info on it at this time. Any suggestions folks?
While Bruce
is producing, they haven't decided who should mix the album. Paul has
asked for suggestions from all of you (I suggested Brian Eno. He said
people have this idea Eno is a mixer, but he's not, so no Eno requests,
please). He is serious about hearing what you all think, so e-mail me
personally at in2xs@inxs.com or you can post to the list at inxs-list@iastate.edu
so everyone else can see your ideas and I'll compile a list for him.

Even as INXS
heads back into the studio to record their follow-up to "Greatest Hits,"
there is a new Michael Hutchence single!!!! Michael does vocal duties
on the track "Spill The Wine" on the soundtrack to the new Pamela Anderson
movie "Barbwire." "Spill The Wine" was originally performed by Eric Burton.
Get out there and buy up the soundtrack people! There is a rumor floating
around that the song will be released as a single, but only time will
tell...
April
15, 1996:
The UK Budweiser
TV ad featuring Michael Hutchence's "The Passenger" has begun appearing
on prime time over there, and yet again, rumor has it the single might
(MIGHT is the key word folks) be released as a single. I'll keep ya updated...
April
10, 1996:
Rolling Stone
magazine has had 2 INXS related mentions in its past two issues. On last
week's issue with Bush on the cover, a comment was made that early works
from Gavin and co. resembled "commercially successful INXS." In this week's
issue with Oasis on the cover, there is a bit on the on-going feud with
Michael Hutchence, and has a picture of Michael presenting them with a
Brit award...
April
7, 1996:
The Brit
awards were shown on ABC television here in the states. Michael was on
it presenting an award to Oasis...
April
6, 1996:
INXS are
set to enter the Vancouver studio of producer Bruce Fairbairn in 6-8 weeks
to record their follow-up LP to the 1994 Greatest Hits release. From what
I hear, band members are beginning to converge once again in such places
as London to work on the new material before recording... Stay tuned folks!
