- Brian Canham talks in detail about how their debut single Listening came about, and then the band performs the song at The Palms in Melbourne. Includes a snippet of Funky Town at the end! First live show in over a year
I bought their Album as soon as it was released in 84. I remember listening to this track in my car on an Alpine head unit using a TDK Metal cassette with 4 6x9 full range speakers on the rear parcel shelf and couple of 6" speakers in the front doors with two Alpine amps under the front seat. This track just punched itself straight into your subconscious.... I still listen to your tracks in my car to this very day. Love dancing until midnight....That's got some outstanding lyrics and is truly emotive! Thanks for the great memories Brian and band...I miss those days like many of us probably do who were there to enjoy them. Yes the 80's was a bloody great time to be alive! and the music from this period is still unforgettable....
Your post made me nostalgic about the 80s 😊
I still have the album in original cassette and in the original compact disc, and here I am on-line, still “listening”
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was a teenager in the 80s! I loved Listening when it came out! And in 1983, the best band of the 80s Duran Duran toured Australia and I was there and a few rows behind me Brian Canham was there watching DD, and I asked for his autograph! He kindly gave it to me. He was very cute too! (gosh weren't we all in the early 80s) I kept it for ages but my Mum who was constantly cleaning and threw it away. :( Thanks for this video! Wonderful to take a walk down memory lane!
Brian's got a great voice. He's also an amazing guitarist. He inspired me to pick up the electric guitar after being an acoustic player for most of my life. I saw a great gig at the Gateway hotel in Geelong...and was totally inspired by his playing. Thanks Brian!
Great song, great band and seeing Brian looking good as hell and genuinely enjoying being there and playing.
Absolutely stunning!!! How I love this song and this band.
Brian is the coolest dude. And the Pia sounds amazing when he rips it for the start of Funky Town.
Gee..can't believe someome gave this a thumbs down??? They still sound great!
For sure! Maybe they didn’t like the long intro, but I thought it worth including
Yeah what a sad loser...
@@mikedevery great story before the song 👍
@@dazmonsta4190 👍
I guess they're no real fans! Oh well, can't explain lack of taste in some people. 😁
What a great voice and such a professional outfit!! Love that base !!!
I was nearly too young to appreciate how cool the 80's were. I do remember hearing Funky Town on the radio & it blew my mind. never heard a 2nd song from these guys though, thanks youtube
It's just not the same anymore, only the lead singer is the only original left, but good to see Brian is still here, can't imagine the band existing at all without him.
Brian Canham's breaking away from the two handheld keyboards took me straight back to the 1980s. A borderline spiritual experience. Sheesh. The backstory is for how the band broke through to gain national recognition. I would love to hear the backstory to 'Listening', whatever it may be.
Been a Pseudo Fan since the beginning when I first heard A Beat For You. That song made me the DJ I am today. Thanks Brian. It's been a great ride. Yeah love DD too!
Great quality video. gee Brian has aged well/ Great band.
GLAD TO KNOW BRIAN STILL HAS HIS VOCALS. FUNNY & INTERESTING BACKGROUND STORY . YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY 😉 WILL ALWAYS BE A PSEUDO ECHO FAN. GONE ARE THE DAYS OF ' ROCKING THE RAILS ' 😣....... THIS WAS WHEN YOU COULD SEE THEM FOR FREE. THE TRAIN SHOWED UP AT THE PLATFORM AND THE BAND PLAYED WHILE 1,000 PEOPLE VYIED FOR A POSITION. NO HEARING PROTECTION BACK THEN.....MY EARS WERE RINGING FOR DAYS AFTERWARDS 😂 😉
That sounds like a BLAST!
Huge fan since 1987
Man still has pipes. Sounds great!
This bands criminally underrated. I got their greatest hits about 2 months ago, i cant turn it off
Wow this guy has a great voice
Wow, and they still rock
Love this band!🤙🏼
So many memories
It was at this time i was deciding what to play in the clubs, Pop or Metal......
I bought that album, too! It must have been the influence of KROQ in Los Angeles. I think I bought it on cassette because I listened a lot while driving to University.
What school did u go to? I went to CSUN…….. Richard Blade’s Flashback lunch!🤙🏼
@@thegiftedone CSUF. I moved to Jpn exactly 6 mos after the Northridge quake, exactly 6 mos before the Kobe quake. They called the earthquake magnet for a while.
Damn his voice still sounds the same. Amazing song
New Wave 80's
Sounds unbelievable!….like studio recording
Brilliant as always.
Its time for a Psuedo Echo comeback.
Mike Devery hi I have been fan of pseudo ECHO since 1983 since I was 13 years old for 40 years now I am now 53 years old
Brian has very strong voice he is very funny my 2 favourite songs are I will be you and funky town
He is very handsome young man from KIM Alexandra jacobs Australia Melbourne
Awesome farking memories from my teens. Brian still cute as
BRILLIANT!!!
"we were poof rock". Brian - a bloke who does not give a FF about the new sick, alphabet, warped society we live in today. When I was a young teen and have felt the same ever since - I have never given a FF about what individuals do in the privacy of their own homes. "Poof rock" in the year 2021 is imo Brian simply stating what is a fact, yet his decision to cover an oldie "Funky Town" was so forward thinking, Brian/PE remain one of our greatest apprenticed in Melbourne's pub rock scene iconic bands. An amazingly gifted guitarist [why Brian's playing a shitty 'Ibanez' instead of his epic HSS Strat I've no idea.
Why? WHY was PE not bigger in the US? They're so amazing! I wish I could hear them live.
Dude has a good voice (still).
So cool...
I cry
Difícil que superen Funky Town. Definitivamente fué lo mejor que hicieron.
Makes me laugh how much he changes his appearance, from hairsprayed cropped hair from 80s, then shorted in the later 80s, then beeched in the 90s., then shaved with a beard, then no beard but a shaved head.
Why give this thumbs down? You must have taste in your arse!
What’s Brian done to himself????
Брайан крутой!!
Based
Seriously what's with the Hair
Just play the damn song FFS
Oh my God. What happened to him? The hairstyyle and clothes look ridiculous. They used to be trendy! Is he trying to be some guitar God? Leave that to AC/DC!!!
Good
