INXS

INXS are releasing a new album 'Original Sin', on November 30th, 2010.  And the great news for Canadians? It's only being released exclusively in Canada before they kick off their worldwide release.

In their 33 years as a band, first as the Farriss Brothers, then as INXS, brothers Tim, Jon and Andrew Farriss, along with Kirk Pengilly and Garry Gary Beers have created some of the most enduring music in rock history. On Original Sin, INXS hits are revitalized for a new century and new generations of music listeners. On this album the band teams up with musicians from around the globe, like Train’s Pat Monahan, Rob Thomas, Ben Harper and new up and comers like Dan Sultan, Argentina’s Deborah de Corral and DJ Yaleidys of Cuba.

INXS keyboardist/guitarist and main songwriter Andrew Farriss says he's thrilled that so many of his peers want to perform INXS songs, “I'm truly flattered that we have so many artists interested in working with us reimaging these songs. In a sense, it's been re-energizing for us to look at ourselves differently in the context of being in 2010 rather than, you know, 30 years ago. I feel we’re very much doing something that's now and significant.”

“If I was one of the singers it would be an exciting project,” says INXS guitarist Kirk Pengilly. “To be able to sing one of your favorite INXS songs but within INXS. Michael always wanted us to continue and I am sure he would be throwin’ his 2 bobs’ in as to who the singers would be.” Tim Farriss agrees. “Original Sin is just, for me, so exciting. I know certain people might sort of perceive it as ‘why aren't you doing new material?’ but the fact of the matter is we're getting to play around with some of our favourite songs from our history and play them the way we want them to be heard today.”
