Echo and the Bunnymen

Echo and the Bunnymen is a British band from Liverpool, playing neo-psychedelia, post-punk and new wave. This concert takes place at The Wulfrun Hall in Wolverhampton.

Echo and the Bunnymen formed in Liverpool in 1978 and play a blend of neo-psychedelia, post-punk and new wave. Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant are among the group's founding members. The band released its first album, Crocodiles, in 1980, and went on to record a catalogue of albums and singles over the following decades. Their song "The Killing Moon" and "Lips Like Sugar" are among their best-known recordings.

The band's sound centres on guitar-led arrangements and McCulloch's vocals, placing them among the bands that emerged from the Liverpool scene at the end of the 1970s. Their records move between the atmospheric textures of neo-psychedelia and the angular rhythms of post-punk, which is why their work is often discussed alongside other British groups of the same period.

The Wulfrun Hall is operated by the University of Wolverhampton and hosts concerts and shows in Wolverhampton. The night will suit listeners interested in post-punk and new wave from the early 1980s onwards, and those who follow the band's long recording career.
