05.22.11Review: Echo & The Bunnymen at The WarfieldI'm a Bunnyhead. At various times I've tried to deny it. For a while I thought that it was just a phase of my youth, but alas, I am what I am. I first saw the Bunnymen perform Friday September 7th, 1984 at The Berkeley Community Theater. Over the past 25 years I've probably seen them perform 20 times in various incarnations, with and without Ian, Ian with and without the rest of the band, and as Eletrafiction. I've road tripped and flown cross country, crept and crawled under bleachers and even made a pilgrimage to Liverpool. I've gone backstage ...

12.28.10On The Record: Ian McCullochIan McCulloch Interviewed by Laura Davis of The Liverpool Daily Post. Like all good rock stars, Ian McCulloch knows how to make an entrance. The Echo and The Bunnymen frontman is 20 minutes late and counting. Considering he only has to come down a few floors from his room to meet me in the hotel bar, it’s almost impressive. When the singer finally does decide to come down to the hotel lobby, he doesn’t disappoint. McCulloch is in his stage attire – jeans and green military jacket, with his hair artfully dishevelled. It goes without saying that he’s wearing shades. He always wears shades. ...

09.05.09Bunnymen Premier First Fountain Single: ‘Think I Need It Too’‘Think I Need It Too’ is the brilliant new single from the mighty Echo & The Bunnymen, and the first release from their forthcoming album ‘The Fountain’. It’s a joyous, uplifting, utterly infectious slice of luscious pop and Mac’s voice sounds stronger than ever. “I’m just a better writer and better singer these days,” he says. “My voice has got more… honest.” The B side will be a new track entitled ‘November’. The single’s widescreen, crystalline sound is the work of Scottish producer John McLaughlin, who produced the whole album, and whose credits may come as a surprise to some ...

09.05.09R.I.P. Jake Brockman, The Fifth BunnymenPhil called me Wednesday to break the news of Jakes Brokman's passing. I was on my cell phone and at first I didn't understand who he was talking about. Who? Somone associated with the Bunnymen? Which one? I hung up still not understanding. When I got home, I checked out my twitter feed and when I saw Jake's name, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Jake Brockman. Jake Brockman. Jake Brockman. I couldn't believe he died tragically in the same way as his good friend Pete De Freitas did just over 20 years ago - on his motorbike. ...
