Johnny Zhivago – Echo
Johnny Zhivago were a pretty badass synthpop group from Winnipeg (!), known for fighting for the future from the present. They remained sadly pretty obscure and this public access broadcast is the only performance to be found on Youtube. I’d love to imagine an alternative universe in which they became prairie superstars along with Ohama and Bruce Haack and the vast plains spawned hundreds of synth bands. Regardless, more electro prairie heritage moments please! Discovered thanks to Weird Canada.
