Icehouse Commemorates 40 Years

Listen up Icehouse fans! This one’s for you.

In honour of the band’s 40-year anniversary, a brand new box set called Icehouse – The Complete Collection, drops on February 17. The 10-album set features every Icehouse album ever release, from Flowers to Icehouse – In Concert. You can get a digital copy but any real fan is going to want the digipack CDs in the deluxe slipcase. You can pre-order them now from the Icehouse online store.

In addition, Flowers will be reissued on vinyl for the first time since its 1980 release. This landmark debut features amazing tracks like “Can’t Help Myself,” “We Can Get Together,” and “Walls.” It’s pressed on 180-gram vinyl and replicates the original layout and uncoated sleeve of the original. It’s also available for pre-order.

If you prefer streaming, you’re in lucky. Icehouse have now released their entire back catalogue to leading streaming services.

And if that’s not enough Icehouse news for you, remember the band is currently on tour! If you haven’t already organised tickets, make sure you snap some up.

Sia Streams Album Tracks Online

Sia has some good news and some bad news for Aussie music fans.

Bad news first; the release date for her forthcoming album We Are Born has been pushed back by a month. We can now expect to see it in stores on June 4.

The good news though is that you can listen to six new tracks, including “Clap Your Hands” and “You’ve Changed” at Sia’s official website. That should tide you all over until you’ve got the album in your hot little hands!
