[StClg--2009.11.18--AllAges] ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN

[Brian J. Parker]

Oh my.  Last time I went to see E&tB, at a festival, the singer
stormed offstage after about three minutes and they stopped playing.
Not a good band to make plans around, apparently.

>> Am", "Forgotten Fields", "Everlasting" and the Bowie-esque pop of "Proxy,

>> Fields', I thought, yeah, this is how it should sound.”
>>     The album was pieced together over the next year, with Mac and Will
>> working
>> on tracks at Parr Street Recording Studios in Liverpool.
