Martha and The Muffins - Women Around The World At Work |jt1674

URBANASPIRINES profile compilation of 3 Album MARTHA & THE MUFFINS

Martha And The Muffins: Far Away In Time 1987

Bit of a one hit wonder over here (Echo Beach - which we bought when it came out over here) but Kostas has done his usual masterly profile!

Check it out!

Kostas says:

 Based in Toronto, Martha and the Muffins initially comprised Martha Johnson (vocals, keyboards), Martha Ladly (vocals, keyboards, trombone), guitarist Mark Gane, bassist Carl Finkle, drummer Tim Gane, and saxophonist Andy Haas. The group forme in 1977 and, on the strength of their debut independent single, "Insect Love"/"Suburban Dream," were signed by Virgin U.K. The band's debut album, Metro Music, appeared in 1980, led by "Echo Beach," which would become a new wave classic. 

Echo Beach performed by Martha & The Muffins | written by Mark Gane | produced by Mike Howlett | from the album Metro Music (1980) | additional audio/video post-production by sonicboy19
