This week on Listen Like Fans, I’m joined by one of the next generation of die-hard INXS devotees — the one and only Jayden Crabtree!
Growing up just outside Manchester, where the airwaves are dominated by hometown heroes like Oasis, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, Happy Mondays and New Order, you’d be forgiven for thinking a young music fan might never stumble across INXS. But fate had other plans.
One spin of Suicide Blonde on his mum’s old rock compilation CD was all it took. From that moment on, Jayden was hooked. Add a few iconic photos of Michael Hutchence and Kylie Minogue into the mix, and a lifelong obsession was born.
Jayden first connected with us during the Access All Areas Podcast years ago, and we’ve been looking forward to this chat ever since. We dive deep into his incredible passion for INXS, particularly his quest to track down the very clothes that were worn by the band during their glory years.
From vintage late-’80s Doc Martens and Agnes B Homme shirts to Kensington Fantasia classics, Modzart London trousers, Hustler tees and the legendary Watch The World Argue shirts, Jayden has become something of an INXS fashion detective.
Splitting his time between the UK and Mexico has also led to some unforgettable fan experiences, including attending a massive open-air screening of the legendary Wembley concert in Mexico. When rain threatened to shut the event down, nearly a thousand passionate fans came close to staging a rock ‘n’ roll rebellion to keep the show going!
It was an absolute pleasure hearing Jayden’s stories and sharing his infectious enthusiasm for all things INXS. We hope you’ll enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.
So crank it up, settle in, and join us for another fan story straight from the heart.
Until next time…
Keep Listening Like Fans.
