Managed to score a couple of free tickets to see INXS tonight. Olly isn't up for it... but the Soos is! It'll be my first time at the world-famous Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom - it has a rep as a great venue... just worried about the motor!
I'm not big on the new INXS - I saw the old band live with MH in the mid 90's at the SECC but kind of lost interest after X. I understand their new frontman, JD Fortune, won the gig as part of a reality TV show... which was, by all accounts, a great show.
I need to check out their latest album :: Switch :: the Soos rates it... and that is usually a good indicator that it'll be sweet.I don't really know what to expect... but I am looking forward to it.

Seriously you are going to LOVE it! I watched the show half of the time, and thought it would be fun to get tickets when they came to my city. But the concert was just awesome, and JD does an amazing job. I was totally obsessed with them after that for a few months!
Go and have a great time, and leave the MH comparisons at home if at all possible!
Agreed. I saw the band play London this past October. They brought the house down. New singer JD Fortune is a born star and he really worked the sold out house. The band were on fire.
a barrowland virgin. lol. My first gig was there. New found glory, back before they were watered down for the mainstream stuff. Back when i was a wee punk rocker.
hope you enjoyed saturday night - we went and it was brilliant. 1st time at barrowlands - man that place could do with an update but the concert itself was top notch. inxs rule and they done themselves proud. good set with all the main hits and jd is a worthy successor to m hutchence
i thought they were fab, just a pity J.D never shared the white wine with the rest of us than waste it on the front row.
Kirk & Tim looked to be really enjoying themselves, thanks for coming back guys, we never forgot about you, cant wait for June at the armadillo
