Icehouse are an Australian band who are very popular in their home country, where they have over 20 chart hits. Their best known song is "Electric Blue" from 1987, their only Aussie chart-topper and their only Top 10 hit in America.
They used the name Flowers from 1977-1981 but had to change it because of legal action by a US band of the same name. As Flowers, they released an album called Icehouse in 1980; when they needed a new band name, they decided to go with Icehouse.
When the band formed, Australia had a vibrant hard rock scene led by AC/DC and Cold Chisel, but they bucked that trend, going in an unabashedly pop direction with a keyboard-driven sound and songs about the various stages of love. Men At Work came up around the same time and found a huge global audience with their pop songs, but they split after three albums.
