Icehouse Essentials

Icehouse Essentials

As epic '80s sax solos go, it doesn't get much better than the one featured on Icehouse's biggest hit, "Electric Blue”. It's one of many touches—along with great hair, a slick wardrobe and soaring hooks—that made this band a favourite among '80s synth-pop fans. Essentially a project of frontman Iva Davies, Icehouse first formed in 1977 as Flowers, but soon changed both their name and style, evolving from a guitar-based pub-rock combo to New Wave stars with an international following. They were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2006.
