Aural tribute to the Bunnymen, with musicians recreating the early sound of the indie band, at the over-18s venue The Voodoo Rooms.
Echoes Of The Bunnymen play The Voodoo Rooms on Saturday 14 November, a night dedicated to the early sound of Echo & the Bunnymen. They're billed as an aural tribute to the alternative Fab Four, and the set draws from the best tracks across the original line-up's run of albums. If you've spent any time with the band's early records, you'll recognise the territory they're working from.
It's not a traditional tribute act. There's no dressing up involved here, and they aren't trying to look the part. Instead, it's a straightforward love and appreciation of the music, played by musicians who are huge fans of the Bunnymen themselves. They describe the show as an attempt to authentically recreate the sound of one of the UK's best ever indie bands, and they build the set around the material from the original line-up's albums rather than the later years.
That focus on the early records means the night stays close to the sound that first made the band a name in the UK indie scene. It's a set built on the songs and the arrangements from those first few albums, played by people who know the records inside out. If you're coming for the music and not the costume, that's exactly what you'll find.
