-''Echoes'' were a rock/funk group formed in 1982. The band started playing only a small proportion of originals, brought over from [[Rik Bernards]]’ previous band [[Stage II]] and [[Murray Ferguson]]’s from [[The Break]]. Through time, the number of originals increased to around 30 to 40%.  The band released one single, [[Places]], in 1984, which they played on music program ''Shazam'' that year. They appeared on the program again in November 1985 playing ''What's Your Problem Tonight''. Although the band recorded eleven tracks at Azimuth Studios in Auckland, they couldn’t get backing to release an album. [[Mark Rimington]] and [[Murray Ferguson]] were the primary songwriters, although [[Phil Walsh]] also contributed some songs.
