Worst Band Name Ever



Echo & the Bunnymen - Live at the Arena, Rotterdam, Holland (3/18/83) Part 1

Yup. I couldn't get into 'the Bunnymen in the 80s because of the name. I used to get all embarrassed at the idea of buying and owning an album by a band with such a name.

My loss. In retrospect, an incredible band and a stupid move on my part. I lost years of happy joy ear fun time. But I'm making up for it now.

I have about a half-dozen shows but this is my favorite. I like the way the guitars go "clankity-clank" on this one.

Clank-shit!

A friend of a friend went by the name Bunnyman years ago. Yeah he was an anglo-phile. Although I doubt he ever got laid going by the name Bunnyman.

You're welcome, Kevin. Been thinking about putting up another show when I can get some tracklist info together. And I finally broke down and got high-speed DSL rather than the "lite" version, so my upload speed is pretty sweet now. That's been the biggest clog in the pipeline to date.
