The British new wave stalwarts Echo and the Bunnymen are one of many bands still releasing respectable material well into their fourth decade. Forming in 1978, the band's first four landmark albums in the early 80's are often cited as the best and most under-appreciated material from that era. Their most heralded LP from that group Ocean Rain was the subject of the full retrospective concert tour where the band played entire album in proper order. The reception (and ticket receipts) must have been great, because the Bunnymen have decided to do it again for not one, but two full albums at one concert. Their first two LP's Crocodiles and Heaven Up Here will be the subject of a back to back redux tour across the US starting in May. The show in Chicago will be on May 17 at The Vic with tickets going on sale on the January 29 at 10am. Give a listen to a sample from each album below.
