Additional information about this, Icehouse vinyl art.
Icehouse – The Artist
The Australian rock band Icehouse formed as Flowers in Sydney in 1977. Initially known in Australia for their pub-rock style, the band later achieved mainstream success playing new-wave and synthpop music and attained Top 10 singles chart success locally and in both Europe and the U.S. The mainstay of both Flowers and Icehouse has been Iva Davies (singer-songwriter, record producer, guitar, bass, keyboards, oboe) supplying additional musicians as required. The name “Icehouse”, adopted in 1981, comes from an old, cold flat Davies lived in and the strange building across the road populated by itinerant people.
Great Southern Land – The Song
Great Southern Land is a song written by Iva Davies of Icehouse. It was a single taken from their second studio album ‘Primitive Man’. The song featured in the 1988 Yahoo Serious film Young Einstein, and remains one of their most popular songs.
