something told me told me to check this video out on You Tube , while watching it, i noticed that the guitarist looked familiar , i didn't know that Rob Dean was in VIVABEAT, then too, i always wondered who made this song after watching it on the movie "Body Double"

That's VERY cool! I thought I'd heard every eighties new wave synthpop band that ever existed, but VIVABEAT is brand-new to me. Both the song and the video seem to be just one cliche after another, but somehow it still sounds fresh and unique. Thanks for posting the link!

I didn't know that band either , and that Rob Dean was in it!! Thanks!

no problem guys , here's another song from them, " Man From China " it sort of reminds me of Japan

Gotta tell ya, the dude who posted the Vivabeat vids has an AWESOME collection of classic stuff on YouTube! Some of it I've never seen before, others are faves that I haven't seen in 25 years... like this one...

np Silver , also i never heard the song nor saw the video of, Icehouse's, " We Can Get Together" before, Thanks marcello09

Oh I just LOVE Icehouse. Now those are some guys I wish would do some new music. Love the Iva Davies voice.... delicious. I wonder if his solo album ever saw the light of day?

No doubt! Icehouse, I think, were sadly underappreciated. "Great Southern Land" is a truly unique, timeless and wonderful album, and Iva Davies is among the finest vocalists there ever was. Hearing his voice soar across the luscious soundscape of "No Promises" is magical.

As far as I know, his solo album has yet to be released. He seems content to spend time with his family and do the occasional soundtrack to pay the bills. I expect we'll hear from him eventually... but don't hold your breath!

Ooooh! I love Icehouse!!! My favorites songs are "Icehouse" and the song that goes "Oh, I can't help myself, when I feel/get? this way-I want to be someone else" --I REALLY like the guitar solo in that song!!!!

Icehouse is great---have always loved them too. Many years back during the "Australian Invasion" I really got into them, as well as several other Aussie acts.

ITunes has three or so songs of theirs "remixed". Some are okay, but I would like to get their back catalogue on cd if possible

yeah i got their mixes off iTunes ages ago. I have always love Man of Colours. It is my all time favourite album of theirs. His voice is just to die for... gorgeous!
