Their first album was called "Crocoldiles" which was released in 1980 and made the UK Top 20, which was great news for the band whilst starting out. Their second album "Heaven Up Here" that came out the following year reached number 10 on the UK Album Chart.
Their popularity grew suddenly in the mid 1980s with the song "The Cutter" and the album "Porcupine" which reached number two in the UK, making them a bigger figure in the music industry.
For many years the group was actually called Electrafixion but they returned as Echo & the Bunnymen in 1997 to release their UK Top 10 hit called "Nothing Lasts Forever", to the delight of their fan base.
Although band member Les Pattinson went on to leave the group, McCulloch and Sergeant continued to make music and later released the albums "What Are You Going to Do with Your Life?", "Flowers", "The Fountain" and "Meteorites". "Meteorites" was released in 2014 in the UK and later on in the US. It was produced by Youth, who actually co-wrote three of the tracks from the album, as well as playing bass.
Later on in the same year, Sergeant and Les Pattinson formed together under the name of "Poltergeist" and also released the album "Your Mind Is a Box" in June, which was received well by fans.
L'Alhambra in Paris is such a great venue , I mean, perfect! Great view from anywhere there... I love Echo and the Bunnymen since their beggining, but never had a chance to watch them alive! Their new album Meteorites is such a masterpiece and brings their sound to the place where it belongs. The setlist was fantastic, and Ian showed all the time why they are considered one of the best bands ever. Songs like "Nothing Lasts forever", "Lovers on the run", "The Killing Moon"... Can't wait to watch them playing again! I wish they decide to play in my country soon, and surely Songkick will keep me up to date!
