Thousands of youth hopefuls from all over Australia go through a fly-on-the-wall insight where talented musicians/singers go through stages of elimination where by a select few are given a record contract.

The uncensored story of one of Australia's most successful bands, INXS. A story of mateship, a story of success and excess, talent and sheer bloody will, set to a pulsating soundtrack including all of INXSs greatest hits.

Compulsively watchable…in the style & tradition of INXS classics “Shaboo Shoobah” & “The Swing” this longform video “THE SWING & OTHER GREAT STORIES” demonstrates why INXS are so universally popular

INXS fans can rejoice over the release of this buoyant concert film, shot during an ecstatic performance before 72,000 hopping fans in London's Wembley Stadium on 13 July, 1991. The Australian band's vocalist, the late Michael Hutchence, is at his feral-romantic best, stalking and swiveling his way through an energized set of welterweight pop. The show starts with a big, boomy "Guns In The Sky", takes a turn toward unexpected soulfulness with "New Sensation" and spreads the wealth with a sharp set of ballads and rockers. Hutchence has fun with a naughty "Know The Difference", plays around with a Jagger-esque take on confessional soul in "The Loved One" and milks "Never Tear Us Apart" for all it's worth. The band sounds more muscular than they did in the studio, hard-charging and rough on "Suicide Blonde", drunk on a jazzy guitar hook in "Need You Tonight" and completely danceable on "Bitter Tears".

In Search of Excellence is a 1989 music documentary that chronicles the rise of the Australian rock band INXS, featuring rare interviews, live performances, and music videos

Michael Hutchence was flying high as the lead singer of the legendary rock band INXS until his untimely death in 1997. Richard Lowenstein’s documentary examines Hutchence’s deeply felt life through his many loves and demons.

It was 40 years ago this year that INXS first came together, which – make no mistake about it – is an impressive anniversary and one worth celebrating. 20 years ago this year, another event took place that won’t soon be forgotten: Michael Hutchence died at the age of 37. These two moments in INXS history are bookended by the anniversary of the greatest commercial success in the band’s career: the release of KICK, an album which has, over the course of the intervening 30 years, gone platinum three times over in the UK, six times over in America, and seven times over in Australia.

The story of one of the greatest live concerts ever filmed, with interviews with band members Jon Farriss and Kirk Pengilly, plus never-before-seen backstage moments.

Charismatic, enigmatic, Michael Hutchence was the personification of the classic rock and roll star and, seemingly, had it all. His untimely death in 1997 robbed the world of a unique and fragile talent. 'The Loved One' traces Hutchence and INXS' rise from obscure Sydney bar rooms and clubs to stadiums all over the world. Featuring interviews with many of Hutchence's close friends and contemporaries, the film sensitively investigates the pressures and demons that spurred his success and ultimately led to his spiral into depression and eventual death. Featuring stunning footage of Michael performing on the stages of the world, 'The Loved One' is a poignant and ultimately uplifting tribute to both the singer and the band

This is a story about music you were never meant to hear - for years I had wondered what has happened to the sons and daughters of the great Cuban musicians and singers. Then in 2002, I was approached by an Australian musician who asked if I was interested in new Cuban music.. he told me to go over the world map that hangs in my office and have a look at Cuba. Down the bottom, you will see a little town, Santiago de Cuba That's where it happens.

Released in 2004, I'm Only Looking is a two-disc compilation DVD by INXS. The set comprises Disc One which contains a number of official videos with commentaries for their most famous hits, and Disc Two which features a number of remastered live and studio rarities.

In this short documentary-style video, we embark with CM Murphy, music pioneer and former manager of INXS on his journey to discovering music all around the world leading into the digital age.
