Biography

Australian band, originally formed in 1977 as [a424148] and sounding very much like Roxy Music, the band started by playing covers of the latter together with T-Rex, David Bowie and the like... The first album [i]Icehouse[/i] was released under the moniker of Flowers. On signing to Chrysalis Records in 1981, the band changed their name to the more familiar Icehouse (named after the first album) due to potential legal issues with another band also named Flowers.

HEARTBREAK KID (I. Davies/R. Kretschmer)----------------------------------------Dusty wind blew 'cross the high plainsas a stranger rode into townwith a certain reputationfor the ladies and a gunhe walked to the bar so casualjust as easy as you pleasehe was bound to do somed amagewith those valentino eyeswell, the barmaid was an angeland she looked so out of placeand she said her name was 'Sunset'she was different from the restand she couldn't help but noticethe moment he walked through the doorthat the gunman was something specialand the bullet found a scoreand the one mistake you make is just enoughand that one mistake is "Boy, you talk too tough"only takes a single bulletbring the fastest trigger downonly takes a pretty womanput a gunman undergroundand you may hear the same old storyin ev'ry town, on ev'ry streetthe story of 'Sunset'... and theHeartbreak Kiddirty rain soaked through the doorwayof an upper westside barand the TV news was talkingto the crowd of people there"...well the kid was always recklesshe said "I'll never stay too long...""..and when she knew that he would leave herSunset shot that gunman down..."[chorus]"Oh, the story of 'Sunset'...and the Heartbreak Kid."
