UK heroes ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN are heading to Australia to perform at the 2010 event. The legendary (sorry, there’s no other word for it) post-punk band authored countless hits (‘Killing Moon’, ‘Silver’, ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ etc etc) and acclaimed records (including the groundbreaking 1980’s classics Crocodiles and Ocean Rain), and it’s hard to understate their influence on contemporary music. The likes of Suede, Pavement, Elbow and Interpol owe much to the Bunnymen’s brooding soundscapes, pulsating guitars and subversive attitude. Plus, they were featured in the opening sequence of Donnie Darko. Beat that. They come armed with material from their brand new record The Fountain and by all accounts they’re set to win over a whole new generation of fans.
