EP10 with Kirk Pengilly- INXS, More Than Just a Hobby News31 Mar 2022

In today’s episode, we are chatting with Kirk Pengilly.

 

Kirk is one of the founding members of INXS, one of Australia’s most notorious and successful rock bands. They’ve sold over 80 million albums worldwide, collected countless awards and trophies for their work from all over the globe, including 3 Grammy nominations, and have been inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. 

 

In this chat we talk about Kirk’s early years and family life, as well as what led him to meeting and forming the band. The story of INXS is one of resilience and incredibly strong friendship. From late night recordings after their work at car yards all day, to playing in front of hundreds of thousands of people, INXS certainly was not an overnight success. 

We speak about the gruelling years of touring and churning out music, as well as the tenacious attitude of the band and how often they needed to evolve after events like Michael’s death.

 

Kirk has lived a full life, and now has found peace in the more simple aspects of life.
