Recently, Nik Brown had the pleasure of chatting to Iva Davies of Icehouse ahead of their NZ show as part of Platinum Sounds Series next year.
"It got very serious when a management company picked us up and said, 'You need to write songs, you're not going to get anywhere doing these cover songs.' ...and I have never written songs in my life," Davies said.
