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."

    Absolutely Amazing!

    by Rich H. on 9/26/22House of Blues Boston - Boston

    Echo sounded absolutely amazing on Wednesday night! Ian, as always, sounds great and the entire band seemed very "in sync" with each other. Sound levels were spot on, and not deafening. Whoever the sound engineer was did a great job. This was my first time seeing Echo live, and would do it again in a heartbeat. So happy they stopped in Boston during their tour. Great experience at the house of blues as always!

    Amazing show!!

    by RJM on 9/26/22House of Blues Houston - Houston

    After hearing others saying not to go into this expecting a great performance my expectations weren't as high as they usually are, but man was Ian on! Ian and the rest of the band were exceptional! My guest and I left on cloud 9, and everyone was expressing how phenomenal the show was. Definitely a 5 star performance.

    Very Lame

    by 80sFan on 9/26/22House of Blues Houston - Houston

    Seated around obnoxious, loud, disrespectful group of people. Left in the middle of the concert. Did not get my money's value!

    Brillian Show

    by VW_VanMan on 9/25/22House of Blues Boston - Boston

    for a band that has been performing for 40 years you would think they would lose their edge, not the case, Ian still sounds great, (except when talking in between songs, then he does a bit of an Ozzy impersonation and mumbles with the best of them) Will Sargent is without a doubt the most underated guitarist and in my top 3 all time , He is a professor in his art, he weaves in and around the sound, never overtaking the the song, he creates moods, he is not complex, but he is great, Like David Gilmour, it's not how fast you play, or how many notes, but where you place the notes, the paused the scrapes, Will is mesmerizing, This is the 2nd I have seen them in 4 years and I was even more impressed this time, I can't wait to see them again. Ian's vocals are as good as ever, the keysboard and Drummer were also spot on, as well as the rythym guitaist also excellent, When they are not noticed they are doing there job well. The Band was tight, Go See them ASAP, you won't dissapointed unless you are as Ian would say a puppet twat

    35 Years Later Echo & the Bunnymen still got it

    by David S> on 9/25/22House of Blues Boston - Boston

    The first time I saw them in 1987 they were a lot younger obviously, and I was awed by their high-energy performance as well as their technical musical mastery. I thought they might have lost something over time but they were as sharp as I remembered. Iam McCollough was on a stool for almost the whole show due to an injury, so he was not moving around the stage like he did last time I saw them. Nothing to due about that though, and he did get up for the closing number and the encores and moved around a little, but it was not like 35 years ago. Still giving it a 5 because it met and maybe even exceeded my highest expectations, at least a little bit.

    Surprising Show

    by Rick on 9/25/22House of Blues Boston - Boston

    We had looked at the set list and reviews of the previous show and we were very worried because it was cut short at 47 minutes. This was not the case on Wednesday. There was a good crowd but we could move and the sound was excellent. Ian McCulloch came out and sat in a chair to start the show but his voice was on point. He never waivered and we all had a great time. The House of Blues is an excellent venue to see a show.

    A page in life

    by D. Z. on 9/25/22House of Blues Boston - Boston

    Truth be told, I had never heard of Echo and the Bunnymen. I didn't know a single song. My daughter, who is slightly autistic, knew the band, all of their albums, all of their songs, and their biography. She had very detailed and informative discussions with everyone that we spoke to while waiting in line. She could have been a historian for the band. Seeing Echo and the Bunnymen was kind of cool, but seeing my daughter seeing Echo and the Bunnymen was AWESOME!!!!

    Good sound, great song list, no frills

    by M12Builder on 9/25/22House of Blues Boston - Boston

    Echo and the Bunnymen put on a good show. Sound was well mixed. The vast majority of the setlist was from there early albums. Ian voice has dropped off from his younger years, but was OK on this night. Musicianship of Will and other supporting players was spot on. Overall, a good show. I saw them as Electrafiction, in Philly in the late 90’s. Now THAT was an awesome show. Will’s guitar and effects stole the show.

    Bad lighting

    by Steve on 9/24/22House of Blues Boston - Boston

    Overall Echo was awesome but there was no light on Ian and from the balcony you couldn’t see him signing.

    Fantastic Show!

    by BubbaGump on 9/24/22House of Blues Boston - Boston

    I saw Echo & The Bunnymen decades ago. They were fantastic then and fantastic now. If anyone has a chance to see any of the remaining shows go see them! You wont be disappointed! The venue we went to The House of Blues Boston was a great venue. We had floor tickets and were able to be front row by the stage. I brought my 23 yr old daughter who is a massive Ian fan.

    Just Okay

    by BillCo on 9/24/22House of Blues Boston - Boston

    It’s always good to see some of these iconic bands from the past, so any show is a good show. However, Ian just can’t hit a lot of the notes from the past. So, compared to some of the other recent bands I’ve seen (e.g. OMD, who were amazing), it was just mediocre show.

    Greatest band ever

    by Rick Z on 9/24/22House of Blues Boston - Boston

    I grew up with echo when they first came the the U.S. when I heard them I couldn’t believe the music they made. I’ve seen them back in the 80’s and now got the chance to see them 40 years later. What a treat and what a performance by Ian and Will. Sure do miss LeS and also Pete, but the sound was still there.

    Show was ok, venue sound was not good

    by G on 9/22/22Roxian Theatre - Pittsburgh

    Glad I finally saw the Bunnymen. It took a while for them to heat up but when they did they were really good. Sound at The Roxian was a problem as always. I was on the floor and don't think I'll see another show there if I'm on the floor. Vocals were near impossible to understand, especially for the opening band. The music was muddy and off balance. I know the equipment is pretty new & the sound people are good, so I don't know what the problem is. Maybe they skimped on structural fixes for sound when they renovated the theater.
