Australia gave SIMPLE MINDS their first hit single, Love Song, and first gold album, New Gold Dream. Their first Australian tour was with Icehouse in 1981.
“I cannot tell you how much fun we had during that six-week period,” Jim says. “Going from nobodies to overnight success due to our appearance on Countdown. People were screaming for us to play encores. We’ve always had a wonderful bond with Australian audiences.”
