Listening to the mysterious, opening intro to “The Killing Moon” is all you need to fall in love with Echo and the Bunnymen. That hit single made them kings on the college rock airwaves in the 1980s. Now, concert tickets are available again, and these legends of alternative rock are back to give fans old and new a great show.
The band formed in Liverpool in 1978, and became a staple in the alternative rock scene. Many listeners thought of them as a cross between The Cure and Duran Duran and immediately took to their unique sound. Their first release, “Crocodiles,” was a critical success, though it found a listener fan base through word-of-mouth.
The band never received the kind of attention in America that they earned in the U.K. Still, over the years, younger listeners have found the dark brilliance on albums like “Heaven Up Here” and “Porcupine.” They have continued recording new albums, much to their fans’ delight. Even better, they’re still touring—and now’s your chance to see them! Get Echo and the Bunnymen tickets now!
