I was in Australia 10 years ago and was lucky enough to attend &amp; meet some of Michaels lovely family &amp; friends &amp; was thinking of going again this year if there was one &amp; if fans were still allowed to go. I'm from the UK so whether there is one will effect my travel plans to come over.<br /> I did have a tel number of someone who used to be involved in organising them but unfortunately it was on my australian sim card &amp; I've lost it.<br /> Any help would be great, thanks in advance! </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/hutch-paris-fashion-show-1994#post-3519 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:58:09 +0000 powernoize 3519@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1EkCZcIfY0&amp;feature=autoplay&amp;list=UUypDCuQaWCIJW-DghFSywkQ&amp;lf=plcp&amp;playnext=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1EkCZcIfY0&amp;feature=autoplay&amp;list=UUypDCuQaWCIJW-DghFSywkQ&amp;lf=plcp&amp;playnext=2</a> </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/birthday-mesaage-to-michael-from-jd-fortune#post-3518 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 08:30:18 +0000 Matt 3518@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p>Birthday Message for Michael from JD Fortune...</p> <p>"Happy birthday Michael.

It is important to re-introduce people to them – they and U2 and Guns ’N Roses were the big stadium bands of the Eighties, they haven’t gone on and held that position.”</p> <p>“It is quite a phenomenal catalogue – they have had 30m album sales, 23 UK hits, 17 hits in the US, with seven of them top 10, and 33 hits in Australia,” he added.</p> <p>Key to the campaign will be a live date the band are playing this summer at the Southern Sounds festival in London. The band, who decided to continue after the death of Hutchence in 1997, will headline the event, which concentrates on music from the Southern Hemisphere. Daw explained it is an opportunity for them to play before European promoters and journalists.</p> <p>This, however, will just be the start of two years of INXS activity: Universal is currently working on a new best of for release for September/October, as well as a TV documentary of the band that will include previously unaired footage from a 1997 Brussels gig.</p> <p>2012 will then see the re-release of Kick to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the album’s original release, with Universal prepping multiple formats – from iTunes LP to super deluxe – complete with unreleased material. The year will end with the release of a “career boxed set”. “They have never had a proper INXS boxed set before,” said Daw. “We feel that is something missing in their catalogue.”</p> <p>Daw said the deal – which came about after Chris Murphy took over the band’s management again – was a “really good deal financially” explaining that he believed the catalogue would sell consistently.</p> <p>“I think the catalogue will prove to be rock solid, if you can remind people about the band and hit their nostalgic sweet spots. There are a lot of people who would put Kick as a guilty pleasure,” he said.</p> <p>The 10 albums covered by the deal start with the band’s 1980 debut INXS, running through to 1997’s Elegantly Wasted, their last album with Hutchence. The deal also includes “other bits and pieces”, according to Daw, including live material. </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/winners-announced-in-mh-jeanswest-t-shirt-competition#post-3508 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 14:55:03 +0000 Matt 3508@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/blog/winners-announced-in-the-michael-hutchence-jeanswest-t-shirt-competition/" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/blog/winners-announced-in-the-michael-hutchence-jeanswest-t-shirt-competition/</a> </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/top-5-actors-who-you-would-like-to-see-play-michael-hutchence-in-a-feature-film#post-2225 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 02:24:10 +0000 Matt 2225@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p>Please post your "top 5" lists of actors you would like to see play Michael Hutchence in a feature film... </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/collectors-news-the-music-of-michael-hutchence-usa-promo-only-cd#post-3499 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:36:48 +0000 Matt 3499@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/blog/collectors-news-the-music-of-michael-hutchence-usa-13-track-promo-only-cd/" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/blog/collectors-news-the-music-of-michael-hutchence-usa-13-track-promo-only-cd/</a> </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/hutch-jacket-from-kick-calling-all-nations-world-tours-in-1988#post-3476 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 02:29:36 +0000 Matt 3476@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p><a href="http://s877.photobucket.com/albums/ab340/mattinxs2/hutchence/?action=view&amp;current=hutchjacket-1.jpg"><img src="http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/ab340/mattinxs2/hutchence/hutchjacket-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" /></a> </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/twenty-questions-for-michael-hutchence-playboy-1993#post-3478 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 01:23:25 +0000 Matt 3478@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p><a href="http://inxsmusic.hu/webbook/INXS/Articles/1993/twenty_questions_for_michael_hutchence.html" rel="nofollow">http://inxsmusic.hu/webbook/INXS/Articles/1993/twenty_questions_for_michael_hutchence.html</a> </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/slipping-away-ew-demo#post-3479 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 03:55:30 +0000 powernoize 3479@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p>i've seen this one listed as an EW demo but have never heard it. is it possibly mislabeled?

The atmospheric mists, the blackened statues, the Castle District rising steeply above you – it's a heaven-sent location for Gothic movies such as Van Helsing. The bridge was also used as a set for Mission: Impossible and xXx. It was famously used in the film clip for INXS' Never Tear Us Apart, which showed off Prague's charms to the West when it was barely known there. More recently, Kanye West has upheld the Charles Bridge clip tradition.</p> <p>The bridge can get impossibly crowded with tourists and touts. Hit it at dawn for a chance of solitude and unforgettable views.</p> <p>Read more: <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/travel/film-stars-the-worlds-mostused-movie-locations-20111229-1pdwo.html#ixzz1hu2ZoPmX" rel="nofollow">http://www.smh.com.au/travel/film-stars-the-worlds-mostused-movie-locations-20111229-1pdwo.html#ixzz1hu2ZoPmX</a> </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/santa-hutch#post-3430 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 04:53:14 +0000 Matt 3430@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p>Photo by Nick Egan...thanks to facebook fan group 'Michael Hutchence &amp; His Legacy'.</p> <p><a href="http://s877.photobucket.com/albums/ab340/mattinxs2/hutchence/?action=view&amp;current=MHSanta.jpg"><img src="http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/ab340/mattinxs2/hutchence/MHSanta.jpg" alt="Photobucket" /></a> </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/for-the-jd-lovers-and-inxs-deserters-with-ciaran-michael-is-back-in-inxs-hmm#post-3407 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:26:46 +0000 bangthedrum75 3407@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p>So many people are turning on the five remaining original members for not having JD front them anymore. I saw them 3 times with JD and the one very strong feeling I got each time was that Michael may as well have never existed! JD never said his name once on stage nor did the band, and Chris Murphy stated this himself (JD only ever briefly talked about Hutch in the press). When I saw INXS on Dec 3 in Fremantle with Ciaran out front it felt like Michael was finally there again; Ciaran talked about Michael several times and really gave him respect and praise and Andrew dedicated NTUA to Michael's memory. It was the best INXS show I had seen since 94 when I last saw them with Michael; the guys were so happy on stage and the chemistry between the five original guys and Ciaran was amazing, it was a much happier six guys on stage than it was with JD. Also I felt even though JD has a great voice that INXS lost vocal power on stage because he couldn't reach a lot of the higher notes, with Ciaran the power was back, especially on songs like Bitter Tears and the second half of Beautiful Girl, so all in all I'm happy that my favourite band are happy and that this incarnation doesn't shy away from Michael like the JD one did, I'm not going to attack them and put no fault on JD's part like other fans, because I have no idea how hard he was to work with and I do remember he caused friction in the band with a few of his comments to the media just after he joined, he obviously wasn't right for them; they are happier with Ciaran and the song writing is flowing, and on stage the chemistry is really fun and positive, thousands around the world are loving the new shows, their getting some of the best reviews they've had in years and the power is back so Yee Hah I say, stop being so harsh and long live INXS!!! </p>
