Hi Legend!

On this episode of Listen Like Fans — for the love of INXS, I’m catching up with the one and only JD Fortune while he’s here, on tour in Australia.

We take a trip back to his unforgettable INXS days, sharing memories, the behind-the-scenes stories, and reflecting on what it was like to step into the frontman role of one of Australia’s most iconic rock bands.

We chat about life on the road, the incredible connection between INXS and their fans, the legacy of the music and how those extraordinary years shaped JD as an artist.

But this conversation isn’t just about looking back. JD has also been busy creating new music, and he’s kindly shared a song with me that has never been released before, and I absolutely love it! We’ll talk about the inspiration behind it and what lies ahead for him musically. We will also share a clip of the track at the end. 

It’s a relaxed catch-up filled with memories, music and a look at the man behind the microphone.

So, whether you’ve followed JD since his INXS days or you’re curious about what he’s up to now, join us for another conversation celebrating the stories and the music we love.

Hi Legend!

 Lisa Mac — A Story of Fandom, Friendship & Strength ❤️🖤

This episode is available to watch on Patreon for all $10 Backstage Legends memberships and above. 

A few weeks ago, while I was on the Gold Coast to see the incredible Elegantly Wasted ballet, I caught up with lifelong INXS fan Lisa Mac for a very special chat.

Lisa shares her love of INXS, her cancer journey, and the incredible support she received from Kirk Pengilly and the INXS fan family during a difficult time. She wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who reached out and supported her.

We also talk about Elegantly Wasted, fandom, friendship and the stories behind the music. ❤️

Elegantly Wasted keepsake 🖤🎭

I have a limited number of Elegantly Wasted ballet booklets available for INXS fans.

If you’d like one, simply send your name and postal address to Listen Like Fans. The booklet is free; I’ll just need to work out postage and packing, and let you know the cost.

A lovely little piece of the Elegantly Wasted story to keep. 🖤

Hi Legend!

It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the end of Season 2 of Listen Like Fans!

For our season finale, Bee is joined by fan favourite and Listen Like Fans team member Danyelle for a fun and heartfelt look back at everything that’s made this season so special.

Danyelle shares her recent trip to Florida, where she caught the fantastic INXS tribute band New Sensation live in concert and sat down with the band for an exclusive interview. We’ll share highlights from that experience and talk about why the music of INXS continues to connect fans around the world.

We also celebrate a huge milestone as fans marked 49 years since the formation of The Farriss Brothers, the band that would become INXS. Social media lit up with memories, photos and stories from fans everywhere, and we’ll discuss some of our favourite moments from the anniversary celebrations.

Plus:

A look back at our amazing Season 2 guests
Updates on Danyelle’s Battle of the INXS Albums competition
Details on how you can still vote

Hi Legend!

One of my absolute favourite episodes is here!

This week on Listen Like Fans, I’m joined once again by our wonderful behind-the-scenes collaborator and resident INXS collector, Andrew Lambie, as we dive headfirst into the fascinating world of INXS collectibles.

Many of you will remember Andrew (along with his partner in crime, Danyelle!) from last season when we chatted about INXS fandom, fanzines, the Calling All Nations Fan History book and some of their most treasured INXS memorabilia. That conversation got us thinking… what are the rarest INXS releases ever produced? And what truly deserves to be called the Holy Grail of INXS collectibles?

With INXS celebrating almost 50 incredible years, there’s been an amazing array of vinyl, CDs and cassettes released all around the world. Some are easy to find… others are almost mythical! So Andrew and I decided to count down our Top 10 rarest and most sought-after pieces of INXS music media, along with a few honourable mentions that collectors dream about owning.

From elusive 7-inch singles and promotional CDs to rare overseas pressings, withdrawn releases and unique vinyl variants, there’s something here for lifelong collectors and fans who are only just discovering the incredible world of INXS collecting. And who knows… You might even have one of these hidden away in a cupboard, garage or attic without even realising it!

I absolutely loved recording this episode with Andrew, and if you enjoy this type of content, we’d really love to hear from you. There are so many rabbit holes we can explore together—from T-shirts and posters to tour merchandise, promotional items and everything in between.

Thank you, as always, for listening and for being part of this amazing INXS community. Your passion and support mean the world to us.

Enjoy this week’s episode, and don’t forget there are plenty more fan stories, deep dives and special guest interviews coming your way throughout the season.

Until next time…

Keep Listening Like Fans!

Hi Legend!

What happens when you sit down at the pub with one of the people who helped keep the heartbeat of INXS on stage?

In this special episode, we share laughs, incredible backstage stories, and a fascinating look behind the scenes with Tod T Burr—touring musician, drum tech, collector, and the man who worked alongside Jon Farriss during the Switch era.

From his mischievous childhood in New York to life on the road with some of rock’s biggest names, Tod takes us on an unforgettable journey. Hear how a chance encounter with Jon Farriss changed his life, how he learned Jon’s drum setup from a single Google photo, and what it was really like preparing one of rock’s greatest drummers night after night.

We also dive into life on tour, backstage disasters, priceless rock memorabilia, signed drum skins from legendary bands, and the unforgettable moment Tod almost found himself sitting behind Jon Farriss’ drum kit at an INXS concert.

Most of all, this is just a really fun conversation. It’s full of laughter, great memories, and the kind of stories that only someone who lived the rock ‘n’ roll life can tell.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens behind the curtain before the lights go down, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

🥁 Grab a drink, turn it up loud, and come backstage with us.
