Shepparton has been deemed a funky enough town for Pseudo Echo to entertain on their Love an Adventure Tour as they power through a newly added regional leg.

The iconic Aussie band have just clocked up 40 years delivering their unique blend of electronic, dance, rock and pop to the world, and are still going strong.

Frontman Brian Canham says besides taking it a bit easier after a show as he’s gotten older, the way Pseudo Echo tour and the energy they bring to each performance hasn’t tapered.

“We probably put on a bigger show these days,” Canham said.

“I reckon it's a bit more visual.”

The tour’s namesake album, Love An Adventure, which featured its title track as well as Don’t Go, Living in a Dream and the blockbuster cover of Funky Town, spent more than six months on the U.S. Billboard charts after gaining international success and a global fan base.

It also spent seven weeks at the top of the charts at home.

To coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Love An Adventure album, the band have released a remix of the title track, describing the Love An Adventure Machine Remix as a dark rock version from their forthcoming Machine Remixes album, which is marked for release later this year.

While the album is an exercise in modernising old classics, audiences at this weekend’s show can expect a more familiar sound.

“We don’t want to really lose the essence of the original tracks, ’cause I hate it when I go and see a band and they don’t play it the proper way; I can’t really do that to someone,” Canham said.

Despite having played their catchy catalogue thousands of times, Canham said rather than tiring of performing them, the songs that have become second nature to belt out get more enjoyable to belt out.

“I think the more you play them, the more fun you have with them,” he said.

“Because you’re just sort of on autopilot, you can just enjoy it, you don’t have to think about lyrics and concentrate on what to play and things like that.”

The band’s line-up looks a little different these days with six members now, including a couple of women, but Canham says the changes have added a “really good energy”, and that his favourite era of Pseudo Echo’s four decades is the one it’s in now.

He said the Shepparton crowd could expect a big vibe at Saturday night’s show.

“They will get all the old hits they know; we play them, religiously, we never leave them out,” Canham said.

“So, you know, there’s a lot of jamming and there’s some big, big parts of choreo, and it’s real fun.”

Pseudo Echo will perform at Riverlinks Eastbank on Saturday, October 18, from 7.30pm. Tickets are $65 and can be purchased at the box office or online here.
