INXS. The Very Best Album of 2014.

-



2014 was a great year for the Australian Music Legends INXS. A renewed interest in the band followed success of the mini series Never Tear Us Apart and the GQ Legends of The Year Award.
And now it seems the saying 'golden oldies' rings true for rock band INXS. Their greatest hits compilation, The Very Best, was named the most popular album of the year by ARIA, The Australian Record Industry Association.



The band from left; Andrew Fariss, Kirk Pengilly, Tim Fariss and Jon Fariss (Gary Beers absent) were presented with plaques at Universal Music Headquarters in Sydney in November to mark quadruple platinum sales of INXS-The Very Best.
Sales for the 2011 released record spiked in February this year, after the mini-series INXS: Never Tear Us Apart aired on the Seven Network.
The group also had six other albums and nine singles enter back into the charts, decades after they were first released.

"I still keep in touch with the Bandstand family. I guess I talk to most of them. When I talk about Sandy Scott, Little Pattie and Judy Stone and Brian Henderson , I speak to them probably once or twice a week. It's still a family. That family thing is still there. The entertainment industry is a very strange fraternity. Even though a lot of times you don't see a lot of people for maybe 12 months, I have a group of people that are very close friends".   Source: A recent ATN 7 interview. Col Joye, is an Australian popular entertainer and entrepreneur.

"Exploring the Surreal: Earth's Ascent in Abstract"

Happy Jan 1 2024! I suppose like most people I have promised myself some self control and purpose, and therefore, I have changed direction of my art. I hope you like it: My latest piece of art takes a departure from the ordinary, offering a surreal landscape that turns our gaze upward as Earth rises against an imaginary backdrop. Amidst this cosmic scene, abstract bird shapes navigate an otherworldly landscape, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. In this latest creation, I aim to take viewers on a visual journey that challenges preconceived notions of reality.

This piece is an invitation to contemplate the interconnectedness of the tangible and the intangible, encouraging a deeper dive into the boundless realms of imagination.
