Biography

Pseudo Echo were an Australian band. Formed in the early eighties by school friends Brian Canham (vocals, guitars, and keyboards) and Pierre Gigliotti (bass and keyboards), the band completed its lineup with Anthony Agiro (drums) and Tony Lugton (guitars and keyboards).

Their first album Autumnal Park was an Ultravox-influenced album that yielded the Australian singles “Listening” (produced by Peter Dawkins) , “Stranger in Me”, “Dancing Till Midnight”, and “Beat for You”. It was a mature album that gave little indication of their youth.

Their climb to success in the summer of 1984 was rapid, and they quickly became the second biggest band in Australia after INXS.

“His Eyes”, a track from their first album, received exposure overseas as it was used in the movie Friday the 13th: A New Beginning.

There was a lineup change before their second album with Tony Lugton being replaced by James Leigh (real surname: Dingli) after a dispute between Lugton and Canham over money, and another lineup change during the making of the second album with Agiro being replaced by James’s brother Vince.

Their second album, Love an Adventure (1986), was also a success with several singles from that album topping the Australian charts including the title track, “Don’t Go”, “Try”, and “Living in a Dream”. The album was re-released the following year to include their remake of the Lipps, Inc. song “Funky Town”, which brought the group their biggest international success, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA in 1987, as well as spending six weeks at #1 in Australia.
