You can say this for Echo & The Bunnymen: They know how to do a tour right. That's to say, it's rather difficult for any of the old '80s British rock bands to do tours these days, let alone ones to promote new material what with people only really wanting to hear the hits and classics. Having just put out new album, The Fountain, they chose...

Echo & The Bunnymen — The Fountain

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) October 16, 2009 2:39 pm
The Liverpool, England band's 11th studio album is their first since 2005's underrated Siberia, and singer Ian McCulloch calls it the group's best since 1984's landmark Ocean Rain. He may be right. The Fountain opens with lead single "Think I Need It Too," an up-tempo rocker that has a trace of The Jesus And Mary Chain residing within...

Echo & The Bunnymen — Dancing Horses

in
By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) June 26, 2007 1:36 pm
You wouldn't expect Echo & The Bunnymen to put on an enormous live spectacle worthy of, say, Iron Maiden, so a minimalist approach is obvious for these gloomy post-punkers. But this DVD is still a decidedly muted affair. From the unenthused crowd to the lack of extra features (a lone interview with Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant supplements...

Echo & The Bunnymen Frontman Disses U2... Again

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) November 25, 2009 4:21 pm
Here's something that probably won't be surprising to Echo & The Bunnymen fans: Frontman Ian McCulloch still hates U2. McCulloch recently told New York magazine he thinks U2's music is "immature." "Bands all say they want to be as big as U2, but weirdly no one ever says they're influenced by them," McCulloch told the...

Taxman Causes Echo & The Bunnymen To Cancel U.S. Tour

in
By Jason MacNeil (CHARTattack) November 6, 2009 12:15 pm
Illness or dodgy promoters are often the main cause of tour cancellations. But British band Echo & The Bunnymen say they cancelled their upcoming U.S. tour due to Uncle Sam's tax man. There's no word if the taxman in question was Mr. Wilson. "It's with deepest regret that Echo & The Bunny have had to cancel their USA November...

Echo And The Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch Sticks It To Mike Bullard

in
By Mike Doherty (CHARTattack) October 24, 2003 2:00 pm
It was a surreal moment: Echo & The Bunnymen's resident singer and bon vivant Ian McCulloch onstage on the Mike Bullard Show, being asked trivia questions about Canada for the chance to win a Motomaster Eliminator Power Box (which, due to differences in voltage, would be useless in his native England). "What is a beaver's home called...
