Icehouse (band)

{{Main|Iva Davies|Icehouse (album)}}

Flowers were formed in Sydney in 1977 by Iva Davies (vocals, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, oboe), a classically trained musician, and their main creative force; with bass player Keith Welsh. Davies was working as a part-time cleaner at a Lindfield squash court managed by Welsh's mother, they lived nearby and were both interested in forming a band.{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/music/songlines/2005/11/01/1130720527778.html|title=City Songlines|last=Kruger|first=Debbie|author-link=Debbie Kruger|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|publisher=Fairfax Media|date=2 November 2005|access-date=21 June 2008}} Additional musicians used by Flowers in 1978 were Michael Hoste on keyboards and Don Brown on drums. The band built up a strong following as a live act around the pub circuit, providing distinctive cover versions of songs by David Bowie, Lou Reed, T-Rex, Ultravox and Brian Eno. The band performed at Cloudland on 28 July 1979, with The Numbers and British group XTC.{{SLQ-CC-BY|url=http://onesearch.slq.qld.gov.au/permalink/f/1oppkg1/slq_blogs20537|title=A night at Cloudland with XTC, Flowers (Icehouse) and The Numbers (1979)|date=5 June 2016|author(s)=Myles Sinnamon|accessdate=17 May 2022}} By the middle of 1979 John Lloyd (ex-Paul Kelly and the Dots) replaced Don Brown on drums, with Anthony Smith (who was sometimes called Adam Hall), on keyboards, replacing Michael Hoste who remained associated with the band and later rejoined.

After signing to the independent Regular Records label, distributed by Festival, Flowers released their debut single in May 1980, "Can't Help Myself" (written by Davies),{{cite web|url=http://www.apra.com.au/cms/worksearch/worksearch.srvlt?action=workSearch&switchDet=Y |title=Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) |publisher=APRA |access-date=21 June 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080505235657/http://www.apra.com.au/cms/worksearch/worksearch.srvlt?action=workSearch&switchDet=Y |archive-date=5 May 2008 }} Note: requires user to input song title e.g. CANT HELP MYSELF which reached the Australian Top 10 in June 1980. This was followed by their debut album Icehouse, which reached No. 4 on the National albums chart and became one of the year's biggest selling albums in Australia. The album, co-produced by Cameron Allan (Mental As Anything's producer){{cite web |url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p147009|pure_url=yes}} |title=Cameron Allan credits |website=AllMusic |access-date=12 June 2008 }} and Davies, made use of synthesisers, including the Minimoog, Solina Strings and Oberheim OB-1. Hoste co-wrote four tracks with Davies and played additional keyboards, with Smith continuing to provide the main keyboards. Further singles "We Can Get Together" and "Walls" from Icehouse also hit the Top 20.

Flowers' popularity was recognised when they were awarded the 1980 TV Week / Countdown Rock Awards 'Johnny O'Keefe New Talent Award' ahead of The Dugites, INXS and Karen Knowles.{{cite web |url=http://baseportal.com/cgi-bin/baseportal.pl?htx=/webgirl/main&cmd=list&range=64,8&cmd=all&Id=154 |title=Countdown Archives show No. 241 |publisher=baseportal.com |access-date=4 July 2008 }} They were also nominated for 'Best Album' and 'Best Album Cover' for Icehouse but lost on both to Cold Chisel's East, Iva Davies was nominated as 'Best Songwriter' but lost to Cold Chisel's Don Walker. At the award ceremony, Flowers performed "Icehouse" with Davies framed within a cube of white neon tubing. In early 1981, Flowers signed to Chrysalis Records for European, Japanese, UK and U.S. releases; they had to change their name due to legal restrictions and to prevent confusion with a Scottish group The Flowers.{{cite web |url=http://www.spellbound-icehouse.org/storybitsandpieces.html |title=The Icehouse story – bits and pieces |publisher=Spellbound: a fanzine for Icehouse |editor=Kristin Lones and Cheryl Krueger |access-date=11 June 2008 }} Their last performance under the name Flowers was on 27 June 1981 at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney,{{cite web |url=http://www.spellbound-icehouse.org/storynew1.html |title=The Icehouse story – early years |last=Davies |first=Neville |publisher=Spellbound fanzine |access-date=24 June 2008 }} they chose the name of their album to become known as Icehouse.

As Icehouse, the band spent the second half of 1981 touring the UK, Canada and the U.S., whilst Chrysalis released most of their Flowers material under the name Icehouse. The single "Icehouse" was released in Europe and created some interest in the UK, partly because of a video directed by Russell Mulcahy,{{cite web |url=http://www.mvdbase.com/artist.php?last=Icehouse&first= |title=Icehouse artist videography |publisher=mvdbase.com |editor=Alex S. Garcia |year=2008 |access-date=19 June 2008 }} while in the U.S. the song peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard Top Tracks chart in 1981.{{cite web |url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p4538|pure_url=yes}} |title=Billboard singles charts |website=allmusic |access-date=11 June 2008 }} "Icehouse" had been written by Davies when he lived at 18 Tryon Road, Lindfield in an old, cold flat of a two-storey mansion – across the street was a dishevelled house which had its lights on all night peopled by short-term residents. Davies later learned it was a half-way house for psychiatric and drug rehab patients. The first U.S. single "We Can Get Together" peaked at No. 62 on the Billboard Hot 100. A single-only release, "Love in Motion", was recorded by Davies using the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, and became the first new recording credited to Icehouse; it hit the Australian Top 10 in November 1981. Icehouse split up late in 1981, Keith Welsh later becoming manager of Australian bands Do-Ré-Mi and Boom Crash Opera.

In January 1982 Davies recorded Primitive Man essentially as a solo project, it was co-produced with Keith Forsey who had worked with Giorgio Moroder and later worked with Simple Minds. Forsey supplied additional percussion; Davies supplied vocals, guitars, keyboards (Prophet 5), bass and programmed the Linn drum machine.{{cite web |url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r622259/credits|pure_url=yes}} |title=Primitive Man (bonus tracks) credits |website=Allmusic guide |access-date=12 July 2008 }}{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/release/936473 |title=Icehouse: Masterfile |publisher=Discogs |access-date=24 June 2008 }} Released on September 20, 1982, as an Icehouse album, Primitive Man reached No. 3 on the National album charts and provided their international breakthrough single, "Hey Little Girl" which peaked at No. 7 in Australia, No. 2 in Switzerland,{{cite web|title=Search results for:Icehouse |publisher=hitparade.ch |url=http://hitparade.ch/showinterpret.asp?interpret=Icehouse |access-date=20 June 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202045238/http://hitparade.ch/showinterpret.asp?interpret=Icehouse |archive-date=2 December 2008 }} No. 5 in Germany{{cite web |url=http://www.musicline.de/de/chartverfolgung_summary/artist/Icehouse/single |title=Search results for:Icehouse |publisher=musicline.de |access-date=22 June 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202095719/http://www.musicline.de/de/chartverfolgung_summary/artist/Icehouse/single |archive-date=2 December 2008 |url-status=dead }} and top 20 in UK,{{cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artists/ |title=Icehouse on UK charts |publisher=Official Charts Company |access-date=19 June 2008 }} Sweden and Netherlands. The album was less successful in the U.S where it peaked at number 129 on the Billboard 200 and the song "Hey Little Girl" appeared on the Billboard Top Tracks chart for one week at number 31.

Another single "Great Southern Land" made the Australian Top 5, and was later featured in the 1988 Yahoo Serious film Young Einstein.{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096486/soundtrack |title=Young Einstein soundtrack listing |publisher=Internet Movie Database (IMDb) |access-date=12 June 2008}} To promote Primitive Man on tour, Davies re-assembled Icehouse with Hoste and Lloyd, and new members: Robert Kretschmer (guitar, backing vocals), Guy Pratt (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Andy Qunta (keyboards, backing vocals). Fresco was a five-track EP released in 1983 by this line-up, they supported David Bowie on the European section of his Serious Moonlight tour. Love in Motion was released in 1983 by Chrysalis for the UK market, it was the Primitive Man album with "Love in Motion" replacing album track "Break These Chains". Back in 1982, Russell Mulcahy had directed two of their video clips: "Hey Little Girl" and "Street Cafe" (released February 1983), after these Mulcahy asked Davies to record the score for his film Razorback; it was entirely instrumental, and featured Davies' first recorded use of the Australian designed Fairlight Music Computer.{{cite web|url=http://www.memorabletv.com/musicworld/ozrock/htok.htm |title=Memorable Music Oz Rock |publisher=Memorable TV |access-date=17 June 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517031726/http://www.memorabletv.com/musicworld/ozrock/htok.htm |archive-date=17 May 2008 }} The trailer for the movie was released in 1983, the film itself in April 1984.{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087981/fullcredits#cast |title=Razorback full cast and credit |website=IMDb |access-date=23 July 2008 }}
