Music
Funky Town by Pseudo Echo
This episode has a grab from the Pseudo Echo version of the Lipps, Inc classic Funkytown.
In the early 1980s Pseudo Echo were the second biggest band in Australia (after INXS).
The song is from their second album ‘Love an Adventure’ (which was originally released without this song) but re-released the year after (for more details see Wikipedia here).
This track has been hard to purchase of late, but die hard fans rejoice, it can be purchased here on the HMV site.
Each show we will feature a grab from a favourite song. The criteria for the song selection is this:
Must be an Australian band, and preferably from Sydney
Must be from the 1980’s
Ideally a band we have seen live
