TWO producers of reality TV show Rock Star would have been paid if they had "performed their jobs correctly", INXS guitarist-pianist Andrew Farriss said in court today.The two Australian producers behind the hit show – in which INXS auditioned potential lead singers – claim they were sacked by the band without being paid.
David Edwards and Michael Murchison say that as executive producers of the series they were entitled to 18 per cent of the band’s income from the project, but were dumped without getting their share.They are seeking more than $7.5 million in damages and today applied for an injunction in the New South Wales Supreme Court to freeze the band’s assets. But INXS wants the case stayed until the resolution of legal action involving the parties in California, which could take two years.
