Now this truly is one of my top ten favourite songs from the 80s. It sounds quite similar to Blondie to me, although the band had nowhere near the success of Blondie, of course! This Canadian band (who formed in 1977) actually had two members named Martha! Lead singer Martha Johnson is still performing today with her husband Mark Gane as Martha & The Muffins, and they released an album in 2010 entitled Delicate. The other one is Martha Ladly (playing keyboards in the video above) who is now a Professor of Interactive Design! Echo Beach was an International one hit wonder (the band had several hits in their home country), reaching #10 in 1980 and #5 in Canada. The song featured on the album Metro Music. The closest the band got to another hit was in 1984 with Black Stations/White Stations which peaked at #46, although it performed better in Canada reaching #26. |
