There’s a blast to the pop past in this summer’s all-Canadian Taste of Edmonton entertainment lineup, which also features rock, country and electronic acts.
The late ’90s pop duo Prozzäk is among the list of performers. The band, consisting of Jay Levine and James Bryan McCollum, released hit singles Sucks to Be You and Strange Disease, while performing as two cartoon characters: Simon and Milo. The band re-surfaced in 2015, and last fall released its first single in over five years.
