Echo & the Bunnymen are an English post-punk group, formed in Liverpool in 1978. Their original line-up consisted of Ian McCulloch, Will Sergeant and Les Pattinson, supplemented by a drum machine assumed by many to be "Echo", though the band denies this. In the 1982 book Liverpool Explodes!, Will Sergeant explains in an interview:

"We had this mate who kept suggesting all these names like The Daz Men or Glisserol and the Fan Extractors. "Echo and the Bunnymen" was one of them. I thought it was just as stupid as the rest."

The band's early cult status turned into mainstream success in the mid-1980s as they scored a UK Top 10 hit with "The Cutter", and their Porcupine (1983) album reached #2 (see 1983 in music). The next album, Ocean Rain (1984), again spawned hit singles to match their critical acclaim, and the band's success continued. The departure of frontman Ian McCulloch in 1988, followed by the death of their drummer Pete de Freitas the following year, culminated with a complete split in 1990. They returned in 1997, (see 1997 in music), with "Nothing Lasts Forever", another UK Top 10 hit, and have since continued to record and perform live.

    Echo and The Bunnymen in the news

    In a recent speech before the UK record industry, the head of the Conservative Party, David Cameron, pledged to increase copyright terms for music, as well as shift the focus for enforcing copyright onto the ISP, echoing the recent decision by a Belgian court.

    Despite the (few) negative comments echoed by some bloggers about the iPhone camera, the news are GREAT as far as qipit is concerned: the iPhone, when used with qipit, is good at recording, sharing and publishing information found in books, on forms, on leaflets, or that has been written on whiteboards.

    Tish Smith wears a little boat on a necklace to remind her of the day her dog Echo saved her from drowning.
