I typed it into my laptop while in a hotel room in Calgary, so I hope it makes some kind of sense (I was also watching TV at the time). Welcome to INXS by John Ellis Thomson The name reeks of indulgence: INXS. In Excess. IN EXCESS. So much more so when the band lives up to it's name, not an excessive, naughty, GIVE ME MOORRREEE... I NEEEED MORE... circa- mid '80s material lust way (Although it was the '80s that created the INXS machine). It's a gentler kind of excessiveness that has taken over 16 years to attain, and it is the outcome of INXS' continuous pursuit to be the best at what they do. This is the story of a geeky little pub band from Nowhere, Australia that have grown up to be the essence of what every rock band strives for: their albums selling in the millions, they have logged over 600,000 miles travelling the world, and have over 35 gold and platinum albums. They are cool, good-looking, run the band like they would a family, and through all the paparazzi, they have stayed in one piece with integrity held high. Sounds like a countless other number of bands right? Well, on the surface that's true. Consider the similarities between INXS and U2: Both bands came on the scene in 1977; they both achieved global awareness by performing at Live Aid; and both bands sell albums like there's no tomorrow (INXS sold more than 10 million copies of Kick, and U2 has sold more than 14 million copies of the Joshua Tree). Each band even has members dating famous models. Yet even with such similarities, the paths of these bands could not be any further apart. While U2 is concluding what could be one of the most extensive, expensive and elaborate tours in music history, INXS has traded in the 73,000 seat Wembley Stadium-type gig, to return to where most bands can only dream of escaping: that is, back to the clubs. These intimate gigs are announced via local radio the day before the show, every fan in the city goes absolutely nuts trying to find tickets that sell out... you guessed it, within minutes. With luck on my side, I met INXS lead singer/songwriter Michael Hutchence back stage last March, when the Get Out Of The House Tour rolled into Toronto. Hutchence, sitting next to his supermodel girlfriend Helena Christensen, casually explained the pub tour is "meant to be a form of rediscovery for the band" and also "an opportunity to break away from the routine of putting out an album every other year, while touring in between. We're having a laugh" says Hutchence, who doesn't have to convince me as he flirts with Helena. Hell, I'm having a laugh too! Well, things are back to normal. The tour is over and the womenfolk who attended the INXS shows have come to terms with the fact they are no match against Helena, and have settled for second best, their boyfriends. Now time for the Australian lads to focus their attention on their latest studio album, Full Moon Dirty Hearts, which will be released world-wide in less than two weeks. To get some insight, I caught up with INXS bassist Garry Gary Beers from his studio in Australia to talk about success, the new album, and why any band in their right mind would trade in a stadium for a pub. John: Your last couple of albums have both sold over three million copies worldwide, which are great numbers for most bands, but less than half of what your album Kick has sold. Is it frustrating to be in a profession that judges every new endeavour on the success of the last? Garry: It's very frustrating in a way, especially when we are not being judged on our last project. Kick was three albums ago. Kick for us is very much ancient history, it's more than six years old. It is frustrating, but then again we got the best reviews and the best response we have had from any album with Welcome to Wherever You Are. And as far as sales go, I can't complain about three million copies during a recession. Kick came out when the world was in a very healthy state; everyone had money to spend. So our albums are still doing very well. In a way it's good the numbers didn't keep getting bigger because if we had sold ten million and then twelve million or whatever, we probably would be a bit smug, sit back and not try as hard. Whereas we basically didn't wait to see how Wherever sold, but went straight back to the studio to do Full Moon Dirty Hearts, which we considered to be the second part of Welcome To Wherever You Are. John: The second part? Garry: Yeah, we were so happy and satisfied after recording Welcome that we were really keen to do another album and not go out and tour until we hated the songs. So we just went back to the studio. (For a change we didn't use our studio in Australia but went to the Isle of Capri off Italy and recorded there). Welcome for a while was going to be a double album so Full Moon is the second side. Theoretically, the other edge of the sword. John: You have Chrissie Hynde as a guest on the title track - that's a first for INXS. Garry: Well, we had and Australian girl called Deni Hines singing backup for a few songs on Welcome and since then she has gone on and become quite a big star in her own right here in Australia. She just happened to be a friend who was at the studio at the right time with a great voice. But with Chrissie, this is definitely the first time we have had a singer of note to join us in a studio. We have always wanted to have special guests and someone in our management in England happened to suggest it and we jumped at the idea. John: Is INXS consciously aware of having to survive and compete for the ear of a pretty fickle audience, by staying fresh and coming up with new ideas? Like having guests on your albums? Garry: We are not really preoccupied with maintaining the audience that we have had. I think with Kick we had a lot of young females: a lot of time has gone on since then; we have grown up, they have grown up. We basically want to make music that is interesting to our fans and not cop out by reproducing things that we have done in the past. It is very competitive market out there, but we are a competitive band ourselves. We go on stage and treat it like a sports event - to go out there and win. It is competitive and quite frankly I haven't seen the music scene so healthy as it is right now. I guess bands just have a lot to write about during tough times. I think there are a lot of great bands coming out, and it's a real change for us to be part of the music scene right now. You can get a bit sick of all the other people who had a lot of success during the '80s - The Billy Joels, U2s and even ourselves. So to be associated with new bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Faith No More, really kick-ass bands, that remind us what it's all about, is great. John: Speaking of U2, there are dozens of similarities between the two of you, yet while they are finishing off their massive ZOO Tour, you guys are playing clubs. So how is it that two bands that have seen the same markets, some good and poor economics, the same kind of fame, should be doing such opposite live gigs? Garry: I think what U2 is doing is what we were doing on our X Tour, but at a million times bigger and probably better. With X we had what we thought was a pretty amazing, technically advanced, extremely high-tech show, which is what U2 has got right now. Well, we've been there, done that, so we decided to go back to guitars and amps and basically get out there and kick some ass. And what a better place to do so than in the clubs? Also, we needed to recharge ourselves a bit, we have done the big arenas which are completely impersonal, so we really wanted to get back and do what it's all about, which is interacting with one another on stage and with the audience. I wouldn't be surprised if U2 turned around at the end of their tour, and say that they miss the intimacy of it all. I mean, their tour is so enormous that they must lose contact with the reality of being in a band. John: Is that what was happening to INXS? Garry: I think we saw the beginnings of it by the end of the X Tour. But we have been together long enough to keep our feet on the ground. I'm sure U2 is the same way, so they won't completely lose contact with reality. But a tour at their size, with the number of people that they have employed, which is ten times what the X Tour was for us, that's real business and really overwhelming. I think that if you can get back to a one-on-one with the audience, it reminds you why you do this in the first place. And I think you will see more bands doing small venues in the future. John: Yet some critics have suggested that you are doing this tour because you no longer have the audience to play the stadiums. Garry: Well, it came to a point where we decided not to tour straight after [the release of] Welcome. One, because it was financially stupid. You can see so many tours just failing; it's still a pretty tough economy, and for a band to believe they are still this huge group like they were two years ago, is crazy. Being in a band from Australia has some drawbacks. One, it's very expensive to get anywhere. It costs us over $50,000 just to take a plane overseas with our gear, so when we tour we're just already behind the eight ball. Sometimes you've got to sit back and see what's going on, so we decided to get back into the studio. We have done great tours and have been to some fantastic places, but ultimately that's for our memories and for the fans that were there. But when all is said and done, we want to be remembered for our records. It's kind of a selfish thing that we are doing now by focusing on records. And as far as the pub tour interlude, basically we are trying to keep it interesting for us which will ultimately make it more interesting for our audience and keep the band together. You can't just keep doing album tour, album tour, album tour all your life - it gets draining. As a band, is it a struggle to keep and identity or even integrity when you always seem to be up against the critics wall? I mean, people focus as much on what you are wearing, who you sleep with, what you eat, as much, if not more, than the music. John: Would you like to tell every journalist to just piss off? Garry: Yeah, but that doesn't help. It does get frustrating, but that's what the rock business is all about. We didn't create the business, we just try to keep our music and integrity intact while we stay in this business, because it's a pretty shithouse business as far as that goes. I mean so much crap is written about Michael [Hutchence] - most of it is crap. I'm married with a kid, but who the fuck is going to write about that? John: But it seems Michael is the perfect rock star. He even dates a model. A perfect cliche. Garry: It does come across as a cliche - but that's just the way it works with Michael. His lifestyle is totally different to just about anybody [I know]. He travels all around the world and hangs out with people who live similar lifestyles, who happen to be models or other singers, or actors, or whatever. It's just the way it is. For me, I like being at home, so I married the girl next door. John: Are there frustrations from the rest of the band because of the media attention that tends to focus entirely on Michael Hutchence? Q Magazine wrote a story that said Andrew Farris (INXS' principal writer) was refused entry into his own gig because the bouncer didn't believe he was a rock star! Garry: (laughs) We tried to fight it for a while when it first started to happen in Australia. We'd refuse to do magazine covers unless the whole band was photographed, but finally it got to a point that no matter what we did it just got out of control anyway. If they couldn't get just Michael for the cover, the magazine would find an unauthorized shot of Michael and work it onto the cover anyway. Not only did we lose control, there'd be all these crappy shots of Michael appearing on all these covers! So we decided to go along with it for a while. Ultimately, I think the rest of us in the band are pretty happy that Michael gets the attention because it's not that glamorous; it's a lot of work. For me it's great, since I can walk around just about anywhere in the world and not get recognized which, for me, is an essential part of life because I'm a pretty private person. Even though when I go on stage I like to have a really good time at being a bit of a rock star. But when I walk off stage, I'm off stage. With Michael, he's basically always in the focus and grabbing attention, but he handles it really well - I'd say a million times better than the rest of the band. It's fine with him, so he has no problem with it, which allows the rest of us to just be the band. We're the ones that have to do the machinations: writing the music, recording, getting the equipment together, that sort of stuff. And Michael does his lyrics and turns up. John: Many bands that have been together for as long as you have, start getting fed up and turn to solo projects. Any of that happening with INXS? Garry: Just before X and after Kick, we had a bit of a break and everyone did, to some degree, solo projects or worked with other people. And we got a lot of that out of our systems then, which was probably a bit destructive for the band's career in the sense that we should have followed up Kick straight away. But then again, there were a few things we had to get out of our systems at the time, and it's worked out just fine. There's always the need to do other projects. I've been building a proper recording studio at my house for about five years. So I've got that to do, but it's sort of frustrating because I'm touring so much. It seems that I just get to come in [to my studio], sit down, turn the lights on and go 'WOW', turn the lights off and go tour again. But I'm in no great hurry because it's always here and I couldn't possibly imagine, and I'm sure the rest of the guys would agree, doing anything as rewarding or as successful as INXS. John: Is there anything boring about being in INXS? Garry: The boring part of being in INXS is the travelling - the actual mechanical part. I love visiting places, but sitting on buses and airplanes is a total waste of time. Unfortunately, until somebody invents a teleporter machine, it's a necessity. That's the only part that gets me down because if you actually add up how many hours a week is spent twiddling your thumbs on an airplane when you could be doing something like writing music or have a guitar in your hands or being with the kids, which you can't do, you get down. [But] the music part and the bonding part of being in a band together is the reward. John: As always, lots of media attention will be given to your new release, Full Moon Dirty Hearts. Is there any nail biting on how it will be received or do you take the attitude "as long as the band is happy..." Garry: Unfortunately, it is a business, and it's got to do reasonably well or we cut our own legs off when touring. So there is that kind of anxiousness. We are really happy with the album and I hope our fans like it. No point being indulgent with your music that won't sell. John: Rumour has it that Full Moon will be released simultaneously on television. Can you tell me about that? Garry: Ya, we are making videos for every song, whether we are in them or not. We've got all these young Australians cinematographers together who have picked songs and are putting videos together. It is a package overseen by Richard Lowenstein who has done videos for us in the past. The whole package will be telecast simultaneously around the world. Hopefully nobody will do it before us (laughs). John: Is it strange to be putting almost as much emphasis on the videos as you do the songs? Garry: There is definitely too much emphasis on the visual side of a band. I mean, you look back to the old days (the old days!) when I used to buy records as a kid. How you saw the band was on the cover and those were usually pretty terrible shots! (laughs) My first record, like Deep Purple or Zeppelin, there was no video. I think the only video I saw out of either those bands in the early days, was Deep Purple's "Black Night" and that must have cost 100 bucks and you felt privileged to see that. Now it's like some bands are spending as much on their videos as they would on their whole career of albums. A band's a band - they make rock music. So it does seem a bit strange to have to spend $1/4 million on a video. We've just spent all this time agonizing over the music and now we have to put a video together. People have even said to us "You released the wrong video for the second single" - never mind the song. John: So if all goes well, will you still be on the stage when you guys are in your fifties? Garry: (Laughs) I don't know, I don't think so. Fifty is about extreme. John: That's what the Stones once said. Garry: Well I guess as long as you are making music that stands up, it's OK. If you're just rehashing crap, then get out of the way. There's always going to be good young bands coming through. So, as long as we can hold our head up amongst them and sometimes blow them off the stage, then let's keep going!
