CANCELLED: Echo And The Bunnymen with Special Guest Hatcham Social

English post-punk group, Echo and the Bunnymen was formed in 1978. After several splits and rejuvenations, Echo and the Bunnymen is back with their latest album, The Fountain.
The Fountain is a massive return to form. It is a superbly feisty album of pulsating, uplifting rock anthems such as the joyous Think I Need It Too, Do You Know Who I Am, Forgotten Fields, Everlasting and the Bowie-esque pop of Proxy, Shroud Of Turin, all centered around a grand, reflective soul-stirring ballad The Idolness Of Gods. It is a powerful album that sees the Bunnymen back to their very best and with a truly modern sensibility that should see a whole new generation discovers one of the United Kingdom's most iconic bands.
The Fountain was kick-started in 2007 when McCulloch began working on some
new ideas with three London-based musicians. "I thought Will (Sergeant) and
I needed to do stuff differently, but so the result still sounded like the
Bunnymen," he says. "What we got with Think I Need It Too and Forgotten
Fields, I thought, 'Yeah, this is how it should sound.'"
The album was pieced together over the next year, with Mac and Will working
on tracks at Parr Street Recording Studios in Liverpool.
