 | Icehouse - Great Southern Land
Tags: 80's, Davies, great, Icehouse, Iva, land, music, southern, video
Description:
When "Great Southern Land" was released as the first single from the Primitive Man album in 1982, a video for it was filmed in a disused sandstone quarry in the Kuringai National Park near Sydney. Then, in 1989, when the song met its first release as a single in North America and Europe, a new clip had to be made to accompany the overseas single. This time, the background Australian landscapes were provided by the Myall Lakes National Park on the mid-north coast of New South Wales. As befits the song, both clips were, of course, typically Australian in content, but the earlier one did feature a few Australian native animals, including a large goanna crawling across barren sandy earth. This latter typical Australian had obviously won many fans, since, when the new clip appeared there were quite a few appeals for "the one with the goanna." The result was that both "Great Southern Land" clips had to be included in the commercial video released in 1989. (www.spellbound-icehouse.org)

 | Icehouse - "Icehouse"
Tags: 80's, Davies, Icehouse, Iva, Mulcahy, Russell
Description:
Written by: Iva Davies
Director: Russell Mulcahy
"Icehouse" is widely considerd to be one of the band's best songs. The live performance always sends chills down the spine, and Iva's voice soars both on the recording and on stage. His performance on the "Live at the Ritz" concert is particulary noteworthy.
Mulcahy's clip for "Icehouse" featured highly atmospheric, eerie and, at times, macabre scenes, largely in mediæval settings and representing the nightmare images of a young girl sleeping inside a transparent icehouse. The latter was depicted in the clip by a cube outlined by lighted fluorescent tubes. This same device was used a few months earlier in the staging of the 1980 Countdown Awards performance of "Icehouse." On that occasion, Iva Davies appeared singing the song enclosed in just such a cubic cage of light, and Molly Meldrum did not fail to comment on the similarity on the first and only occasion on which the Mulcahy clip was played on the Countdown programme. Whether through annoyance at this apparent plagiarism or the stated reason of the chilling nature of the child's nightmare images, the "Icehouse" clip suffered a ban on Australian television shortly after its release.
Russell Mulcahy made two further clips for Icehouse, both filmed in exotic locations and both as spectacular, elaborate and expensive as the first. These were for the two singles drawn from the Primitive Man album and which made such an impression on the European market, "Hey Little Girl" and "Street Café." The clip for the former was filmed in London and included many shots in the Sadlers Wells Theatre, particularly in the ballet rehearsal room.

The "Street Café" clip was filmed in Tunisia, in a four day visit into which was packed a lifetime's worth of difficult, unpleasant and even hazardous living experience for performers and film crew alike. Iva Davies flew out of Tunisia still covered with dust and camel dung, clad in the boots, breeches and bandolier used in the filming, and vowing never to return to that part of the world again.
