ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN
UK HEADLINE DATE ANNOUNCED
Southampton Engine Rooms on Wednesday 13th November 2019
Following major festival appearances this summer, Echo & The Bunnymen have announced a headline date at Southampton Engine Rooms on Wednesday 13th November 2019.
Echo & the Bunnymen's dark, swirling fusion of post-punk and The Doors/The Velvets-inspired pop psychedelia has brought the group twenty top 20 hits and nine top 20 albums in the UK so far in their 40 year career. The band have come a long way from the group's infamous first concert as a three-piece with a drum machine in 1979 at the legendary Erics club in Liverpool, The Bunnymen still perform sell-out concerts across the world today.
Their seminal albums 'Crocodiles', 'Heaven Up Here', 'Porcupine' and 'Ocean Rain' have been a major influence for acts such as Coldplay, The Killers and The Flaming Lips whilst later albums 'Evergreen' and 'What Are You Going To Do With Your Life?' and 'Siberia & Meteorites' demonstrate what an amazing body of work the band have. Their latest album ‘THE STARS & THE OCEANS & THE MOON’ was released last year with Q Magazine calling it ‘Magical’.
The Bunnymen are still revered by those in the best of popular culture. In the past year alone, the highly acclaimed and culturally phenomenal Netflix series 'Stranger Things' has used the song 'Nocturnal Me' whilst the equally comparable '13 Reasons Why' has used 'The Killing Moon', a song also used on another Netflix show, 'Dead of Summer'.
As one of the most seminal British rock acts in modern history, the band’s loyal and ever growing following is showing no signs of abating. Tickets go onsale Friday 23rd August via http://gigst.rs/EATB
