INXS (performing tonight at the Ogden Theatre with Monroe Monroe) has had been down a long, triumphant road in its thirty-plus years as a band. The Australian rockers have remained a solid group -- weathering the storm of their frontman Michael Hutchence's passing in the late '90s -- making records and touring throughout its time as an intelligent pop act.

In 2004, the band participated in the Rockstar TV series, which acted as competition to find INXS's new frontman. The group found one in Canadian singer J.D. Fortune, who has been with INXS intermittently ever since. This show is all ages, and tickets are $50-55. Doors open at 7 p.m., bands begin at 8 p.m.
