California, Here They Come!
As the South
and Central American tour has ended, all eyes turn toward
California. Though INXS will play in many US western states, they
will play a remarkable *seven* dates in California alone. The tour
kicks off in Sacramento, and will wind its way all across the US and
Canada before it ends in New Jersey.

coast dates, including the important El Rey gig in Los Angeles. The
El Rey show will also be recorded by Westwood One for a future
national radio airing in the United States.

More From South America
INXS have just
completed a successful jaunt through South and Central America, and
are now moving on to Southern California to begin the North American
leg of their "Just For Kicks 2002" World Tour. Here's some more from
the tour.
From Peru, Miguel Helfer writes "...All I
could say about the concert would not be enough... It was an
incredible and wild night! The guys are amazing and I can still feel
the [evening's] power! The set list was the same as in Argentina,
and let me tell you, Jon Stevens is wonderful! Hey guys in the
States, do not miss this show!"
From Argentina comes a
report by Eduardo Bujía: "With the first strains of 'Never Tear Us
Apart,' an excellent new version, to Andrew's harmonies on 'By My
Side'... Michael was there, by his and our side... the emotion
invading us... so that we were one soul jumping, screaming, and
losing all the ire since November 1997... It was a very personal
show, perhaps because of the place or the years gone by... We
jumped, sang, and enjoyed all of it... for most of us, the most
emotional show of our lives. Maybe they'll record a new album, maybe
they'll come back again... It was a perfect show, there's no
doubt..."
INXSweb.com will bring you the full media
wrap-up (newspaper reviews, etc) as well as some exclusive
photographs from the tour in the weeks ahead.

INXS Hit South America
INXS have kicked
off their 2000 international tour in grand style in South
America.
The opening show for the tour was at the ATL
Hall in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Claudia Cunha, a fan lucky enough to
attend the show, wrote inxsweb.com an enthusiastic review. "There I
was at ATL Hall in the front row... It started an hour late and
wasn't really crowded so the show was 'cozy.' Andrew came on stage
first... Jon Stevens looked diferent, his hair is longer, his voice
is beautiful and it reminds me of Michael. His affection is amazing
and it shows how much he likes singing the songs. Jon Farris looked
really excited to be back on tour and threw several [drum] sticks
into the crowd ( I didnīt get any). The setlist was basically the
greatest hits album plus my favorites: 'Not Enough Time,' 'Kick,'
'The Stairs,' and two new ones. When they played 'Never Tear Us
Apart,' the screen behind them showed a smiling Michael Hutchence;
almost everybody (including me) started crying. Thank you, INXS, for
coming to Rio. I hope you had as great a time as I
did."
Last night, the band played at the Luna Park
Amphitheatre in Buenos Aires, Argentia. Adrian wrote about his
experience and included the set list (included below). "The show was
GREAT, perfect!! I was in the first row, next to Tim and Jon
Stevens. The show started with the intro to 'Precious Heart' and
then Andrew began by singing 'By My Side.' From that moment till the
show closer 'Don't Change,' everything was perfect, including two
new songs, 'Sugar' and 'Hungry.' Jon Stevens' performance was
brilliant, and the whole band is better than ever."
Here's the set list: Intro - Precious Heart, By My
Side (first verse Andrew Farris on lead vocals), New Sensation,
Listen Like Thieves, Original Sin, Sugar, Not Enough Time, Mystify,
Disappear, Shine Like It Does (Kirk Pengilly on lead vocals),
Beautiful Girl, Never Tear Us Apart, Time, Taste It, Need You
Tonight / Mediate, Bitter Tears, Kick, Devil Inside, ENCORE The
Stairs, Hungry, What You Need, Suicide Blonde, The Loved One, and
Don't Change.
