Wikipedia article




"'We Can Get Together'" is the second single released by the Australian rock band Flowers, later known as Icehouse. It was released in September 1980, on the independent label Regular Records from their first album, 'Icehouse', two weeks before the album itself was released. It peaked at #16 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Charts. NOTE: Used for Australian Singles and Albums charting from 1970 until ARIA created their own charts in mid-1988.

Following their signing with Chrysalis Records in early 1981 for the European, Japanese, UK and US releases Flowers had to change their name due to legal restrictions preventing confusion with a Scottish group The Flowers. "We Can Get Together" was released in the UK on Chrysalis in 1981 under the band name Icehouse as both a 7" and 10" vinyl single and later in the US as a 7" single. A remix version by sonicanimation was released on the Icehouse album 'Meltdown' in 2002.

Reception



In a single review 'Cash Box magazine' said the group "can sound an awful lot like Television's Tom Verlaine at times here or an upbeat Gary Numan."
