First formed in 1977 as The Farriss Brothers, what Australian new wave rock band had a smash hit was their song "Need You Tonight"?

INXS originated from Australia's bar scene, which is why the band never quite fit into the new wave crowd. Even though they experimented with synth-pop on their early records, INXS were always anchored by a strong, Stones-like rhythm. Ultimately, it was these factors that elevated INXS to worldwide superstardom in the late '80s. By that time, the trio had incorporated elements of new wave, hard rock, and dance into a slick and elegant rhythm.
