Bravo to Vincent Lovegrove -- for restoring my faith in some of the music media! June 23, The concerts were INXS at their very best and the audience reaction was fantastic. In the UK, the band have just completed an Arena tour which ended with a sold out show at the 10, capacity Wembley Arena.
Reviewer's from the tour wrote:. Fans became caught up in a mass clap-along to the old favourite Mystify while the material from the new album Elegantly Wasted , provoked a no less heated reaction.
In a live setting INXS kick ass. Hutchence can serenade well but he can sing the part of the lusty roustabout better. When he opens the throttle on his throat and shows his tonsils you can feel the roar in your chest cavity.
Ripper mate! Debbie Harry is trying quite hard not to look like the first person I ever fancied. With her naff waistcoat, knee-length boots and a pair of purple velvet hotpants which are pleated in such a way that she appears to be wearing a giant nappy, she looks like she's escaped from Puss in Boots at the New Theatre down the road.
However, she does not succeed. Partly because her hair — no longer the witchy grey locks of recent chat show appearances — has been restored to a supercool blonde bob with one black punk-rock streak.
But mainly because she still has that face: wide enough to land aeroplanes on, the kind of face which was made to be plastered across the biggest billboard on Times Square. When God or Mother Nature or genetic chance has given you cheekbones like that, there's not a lot you can do about it. The biggest surprise tonight is that, against all odds and contrary to my worst fears , Blondie, now making their second comeback, are bloody wonderful.
In a way, it shouldn't be a surprise at all: Blondie were always more about experience than youth. Pushing 30 when fame struck, Harry really was "no debutante", and these songs, with their sassy, seen-it-all worldview, befit a woman of a certain age. Every now and then she starts shouting erratically and yelping the lyrics. At one point, she inexplicably tries to amuse us with a crappy talking Frankenstein toy.
She's like your mad, slightly wanton aunt who tries to chat up your mates. Green mascara! As much as the Australian media seems hell bent on crushing this, the most successful Australian band ever, INXS have outlasted their previous critics, and will certainly outlast the current crop of pretenders, especially the ignorant young lad at Sydney's Sydney Morning Herald. His name escapes me. INXS are part of rock'n'roll's elite, and it's fair to say they've done it mostly on their wicked, well earned reputation for playing live.
After seeing them at last week's sold out Wembley Stadium show, you can take it from me they have never been better, they're one of the best in the world, and if I were them, I wouldn't even bother going down to Australia.
But the band, as proud as they are of being Australian, seem hell bent on going down to the only country in the world that seems set to bring them down.
If you're in Australia reading this piece, don't listen to the prejudiced self appointed critics. If you get a chance to see INXS, take it.
Their current show leaves the rest for dead. They're utterly brilliant, full of adrenalin-pumped life, and restored my faith in rock'n'roll. Bravo to Vincent Lovegrove -- for restoring my faith in some of the music media!
