INXS is back

I wasn't very impressed with any of the singers on Rock Star: INXS when I saw one show earlier this season. After seeing the finale last Tuesday, though, it looks like they at least picked the best out of the bunch. J.D. Fortune sounds a lot like Michael Hutchence, the original frontman. I really liked INXS back in its heyday, but the new band is like Led Zeppelin without Bonzo! Hopefully Fortune, a Canadian, will be able to handle the fame and put on a good show during this Australian band's world tour starting in January.

Here are the best reference and news pages I could find about the new INXS:

• Rock Star: INXS on Wikipedia is, as usual, my first recommended link on this fabulous free encyclopedia.
• INXS.com splash page currently shows dates for the Pretty Vegas iTunes single on October 4th, in stores on the 25th; Switch album November 29th; and January world tour. This official site has frequently updated news and features a chat section.
• Official Rock Star:INXS on MSN features message boards and blogs by participants & fans as well as music and video clips from the show.
• J.D. Fortune Official MSN Space blog updates from the man himself; I doubt there will be many more posts on his blog, though.
• Listen to Pretty Vegas here... on Sony BMG, full song available free in streaming Windows Media and RealPlayer
• The Official Rock Star: INXS Media Centre on idolforums.com is probably not official, but it's a testament to community-supplied content!
• Rockstar: INXS**Official Video Thread is a related idolforums.com thread.
• Don't forget to try JD Fortune Google News search as well as cached and indexed Google Web search pages if you're looking for specific INXS content.
