From the BBC 2 series Pop Carnival, this is a performance by Echo and the Bunnymen at Sefton Park, Liverpool in the

summer of 1982, introduced by Steve Blacknell, whoever he was.

Echo & the Bunnymen are an English post-punk group, formed in Liverpool in 1978. Their original lineup consisted of

vocalist Ian McCulloch, guitarist Will Sergeant and bass player Les Pattinson, supplemented by a drum machine. By 1980,

Pete de Freitas had joined as the band's drummer, and their debut album, Crocodiles, met with critical acclaim and made

the UK Top 20. Their second album, Heaven Up Here (1981), again found favour with the critics and reached number 10 in

the UK Album chart. The band's cult status was followed by mainstream success in the mid-1980s, as they scored a UK Top

10 hit with "The Cutter", and the attendant album, Porcupine (1983), reached number 2 in the UK. Their next

release, Ocean Rain (1984), continued the band's UK chart success, and has since been regarded as their landmark

release, spawning the hit singles "The Killing Moon", "Silver" and "Seven Seas". One more

studio album, Echo & the Bunnymen (1987), was released before McCulloch left the band to pursue a solo career in

1988. The following year, de Freitas was killed in a motorcycle accident, and the band re-emerged with a new line-up.

Original members Will Sergeant and Les Pattinson were joined by Noel Burke as lead singer, Damon Reece on drums and Jake

Brockman on guitar. This new incarnation of the band released Reverberation in 1989, but the disappointing critical and

commercial reaction it received culminated with a complete split in 1992.


After working together as Electrafixion, McCulloch, Sergeant and Pattinson regrouped in 1997 and returned as Echo &

the Bunnymen with the UK Top 10 hit "Nothing Lasts Forever". An album of new material, Evergreen, was greeted

enthusiastically by critics and the band made a successful return to the live arena. Though Pattinson left the group for

a second time, McCulloch and Sergeant have continued to issue new material as Echo & the Bunnymen, including the

albums What Are You Going to Do with Your Life? (1999), Flowers (2001) and Siberia (2005). The band are scheduled to

release a new album, The Fountain, in 2008.
