Inxs Michael Hutchence

INXS were an Australian rock band, formed as The Farriss Brothers during 1977, in Frenchs Forest, Sydney, New South Wales. The band's founding members were bassist Garry Gary Beers, main composer and keyboardist Andrew Farriss, drummer Jon Farriss, guitarist Tim Farriss, lead singer and main lyricist Michael Hutchence, and guitarist and saxophonist Kirk Pengilly. INXS was fronted by Hutchence for 20 years, whose "sultry good looks" and magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the group. At first known for their new wave/pop style, the band later developed a harder pub rock style that included funk and dance elements.
