ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN IN CONCERT:
Formed in the late-'70s wake of punk's first wave, Echo & the Bunnymen forged a unique fusion of post-punk, new wave, and neo-psychedelia that established them as pioneers of a new direction in British rock. Today the band's moody, sophisticated sound is as compelling as ever, and their spellbinding live shows are the perfect place to experience it in the flesh. Whether brooding frontman Ian McCulloch is belting out classics from seminal 1984 album Ocean Rain or performing new material from 2014's Meteorites, Echo & the Bunnymen never fail to mesmerize with muscular musicianship and intense performances on their unforgettable tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Echo & the Bunnymen formed in Liverpool in 1978, taking their name from a list of nonsensical monikers suggested by a friend. The band made their debut in 1979 with "The Pictures on My Wall", released on the now-legendary Mute Records imprint. Their 1980 album debut Crocodiles was a critical and commercial success, cracking the UK Top 20 and setting the stage for the success of sophomore album Heaven Up Here, which reached the Top 10 in 1981. Their chart run continued in 1983 with third album Porcupine, the vessel for hit singles "The Back of Love" and "The Cutter" and predecessor to the band's landmark 1984 album Ocean Rain, widely considered by critics as the pinnacle of their '80s output. After taking a hiatus between 1993-1996 the band reformed with a vengeance, scoring another Top 10 hit with "Nothing Lasts Forever" and delivering a powerful series of performances on tour. With their 12th studio album Meteorites hitting shelves in 2104, Echo & the Bunnymen have fans eagerly awaiting their next live shows. Previously, Echo & the Bunnymen has sold out venues to capacity, like The Fillmore (Minneapolis) and Fox Theater (Oakland).
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Amazing show. Ian's voice has not changed a bit. The band sounds the same as the first time I heard them. Bravo!"
"The Bunnymen did amazing renditions of their albums. The improvisation on Crocodiles brought back many great live memories of Bunnymen past shows."
"It was an amazing show. The band sounded incredible and Ian was very much a dynamic presence. Two complete albums were played, along with encores, so it was definitely a show to remember."

This is my 3rd time seeing them. 1st in 1988, 2nd 2017. It wasn't quite as good a show as the forst 2. However, it was the 2nd to last show om a long tour. I am sure they were tired. I still enjoyed it.
I've seen the Bunnymen many times over the past decade. This concert was the best I've seen! The band sounded great, and the crowd was wonderful! It's was a good time in a great venue!
Small venue and great crowd! Tucson rocks! Sound and songs were excellent.
Moontour started off the evening with a solid set! Echo and the Bunnymen came out and put in a great show! Never disappointed in their show!
Ian McCulloch and company absolutely know how to put on an awesome show. Ian is STILL one of the coolest looking performers in music land for sure ! Great crowd, great venue, great band !
Great concert. The band played all of their hits and then some. And they played them like they loved each song as much as I did. Love them fir that and love that they love their fans like that.
I have literally loved Echo and The Bunnymen since I was about 13 and have ALWAYS wanted to see them!! Their show was absolutely AMAZING!! However, the opening band was ok but not for me and by the looks of the faces around me not many were thrilled by them. They were a good band just not an opener for Echo. I did LOVE once Echo got on stage!!!
Ian is simply too old to tour anymore. I wouldn't suggest seeing them to anyone.
Not even one of my fav Echo songs but a great song title and it was in the set list in San Diego. Full house at the Observatory and nobody went away disappointed ( like last time when they had to cancel ) . They broke the show into 2 sets with a 20 min break in between. Been going to Echo shows for 40 years and I still need subtitles to understand Ian when he talks between songs. :-)
Very excited to see them in concert for the first time. The opening act Via Mardot was like listening to an old scary Halloween album and a cat in heat at the same time. I had to go outside to minimize the pain. Echo and the Bunnymen sounded great, but The Depot in Salt Lake City was so dark that you never ever could see any of the band members faces, just black silhouettes. Then the lighting would explode with white light, blinding you like an old flash camera after your eyes had adjusted to the darkness. Glad I finally got a chance to see them though!
