Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Before choosing the name INXS, what name did the band perform some early gigs under?

Answer: The Farriss Brothers

Makes sense, sort of! There are three of them.

2. What date was the famous Summer XS Wembley gig?

Answer: 13th July 1991

INXS joined a very select group of artists to have sold out this very famous venue. Some time after this gig they returned to Australia to play a series of "small venue" gigs, plays to hundreds as apposed to thousands.

3. Which of the following bands did NOT play on the support bill at the Summer XS Wembley gig?

Answer: EMF

It is a bit of a "where are they now" really!

4. Michael Hutchence had a problem with his hearing.

Answer: False

In actual fact Michael's eyesight was his problem. Apparently, other than the first couple of rows, the rest of the crowd were just a blur. He also lost his sense of smell in an accident.

5. In December of 1986, INXS teamed up with legendary Oz Rocker Jimmy Barnes to cover the song "Good Times", which was originally recorded by whom?

Answer: The Easybeats

Great Aussie band from the 60s. Whether you're from OZ or OS, get your hands on a copy of their best of.

6. What was Jon Farriss' brand of drums during the INXS peak years?

Answer: Pearl

Great kit for a great drummer.

7. What was INXS' 1992 studio album, as released in Australia? It featured the song "Not Enough Time".

Answer: Welcome To Wherever You Are

Also featuring "Baby Don't Cry" backed by a 60-piece orchestra.

8. In which European CITY were at least three of the video clips from the 'KICK' album filmed?

Answer: Prague

It looked cold but beautiful. 'Guns in the Sky', 'New Sensation' and 'Never Tear Us Apart' were all filmed there.

9. INXS recorded a song called "We Are The Vegetables".

Answer: True

A great, slightly Punk, song. If you can find it on CD you are doing well. As far as I know it only appeared on the, never mentioned, album "INXS-IVE"

10. Which song are these lyrics from? "If it happened this morning, tonight we'll see it on T.V."

Answer: Melting In The Sun

Great version of this song on the "Australian Made" video.
