It may have felt a little like 1987 at the Enmore on Saturday night but support act, Sydney songstress Iluka took her roots rock influences from further back than that. With a band and backing vocalist, Iluka's gorgeous-sounding vintage guitar wasn't given nearly enough volume to make its presence felt over the rumble of the bass. Likewise Iluka's voice needed to be given more space within the songs. It was really only in the set's quieter moments that her rich voice could really shine out.

Back in their heyday Icehouse was a band that knew very well how to play around with the dynamics of a song. And though a couple of the faces on the Enmore stage were new, the six musicians that spun these solid gold hits delivered them with a verve and energy expected of bands barely starting out, not celebrating their second album's 30th anniversary. Right from the start frontman Iva Davies looked to be enjoying himself even more than the very appreciative audience.

From the spot-on harmonies and intricate guitar solos to the wail of a sax and the delightfully '80s-looking artwork lighting up the backdrop, this was a nostalgia kick for the audience of the highest order. Singing their way through hit after hit – We Can Get Together, Crazy, Love In Motion, Electric Blue, Hey, Little Girl and of course Great Southern Land – it seemed as though the band had exhausted their repertoire of big ticket numbers when they came back out for the first of two encores. A rollicking cover of the T. Rex stomper Get It On and an equally charged Nothing Too Serious seemed like a fitting end to the evening, but the crowd wouldn't leave so lead singer Iva Davies treated the crowd to the cinematic Heartbreak Kid.
