Typical they played Bristol last month...would have been good to watch. Love it when you 'discover' a band that have a decent back catalogue. Funnily all my mates knew about them Last time this happened was with a band called Eskimo Joe when I was visiting Oz...you may have heard of them, but not many in Britain have it seems. 10 years old now :-( Saw Eskimo Joe many a time.

spudski Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I got to see Inxs in Coolangatta when I visited Airlee...not the same without Hutch, but ticked a box off to have seen them in Oz. Would have loved to have seen Icehouse in their prime...mullet an all ;-) and Noiseworks ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Cold Chisel many times and worked with their lead singer Jimmy Barnes. The Angels were another great live band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great gig that must have been. Iva Davies of Icehouse is an incredible underated talent. Has written so much music in his time and still going. His voice reminds me of a mix between Bowie and Ferry. Love this thread...has got me trawling through old bands I hadn't listened to for a while. Plus PM's going back and forth recommending bands and singers...only OTIB :-) Stumbled on a lad with an awesome voice who plays guitar for the still touring Icehouse. 40 years and still going....Plus Under the Milky Way by The church...one of the first tunes I learnt on guitar.

You would remember his early stuff as Flowers before changing the name to Icehouse. I agree though a great talent. Do you recall Goanna Band with Shane Howard. He has some great solo stuff out now. Some of early Mi-sex was Ok as were The Models.. There was a good selection of shite also such as Finch, Avalanche, Stars, Supernaut and the list goes on.

I've got the first album as Flowers and when they re released it as Icehouse mate...Band I've followed ever since hearing 'Hey little Girl'. Didn't really get the early stuff over here. Same with INXS. Seen them 16 times now. Great band live. Loved the early stuff....as in 'Don't Change' etc. Loved the Models as well. Another talent live....but from NZ and not OZ is Crowded House. Sound middle of the road on radio or vinyl....but live are immense and a great show. Very talented are the Finn Bros. Love the Finn bros and work.... what a great track this is...

Saw yothu yindi at a festival in the 90s, took it by storm. Fin Brothers were good when I saw them in Byron bay also. Even saw someone mention the Angels, were always a good powerful live show RIP Doc Neeson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
