My first post for June also happens to be my first music related post.
Saw this group in New Haven, CT late fall 1987. One of my classmates at a naval school said he would buy my ticket if I took him to the Echo & The Bunnymen concert. I was like, Who? Even though I didn't know any of the songs at the time, I really enjoyed it. It was a small venue, some old style large theatre. Felt a little out of place since the audience was almost all Goth. My first exposure to Gothfolk. They're on the Lost Boys soundtrack doing a cover of People Are Strange.
I found this video while doing a search for Peter Murphy of Bauhaus (that's another story, see Max X later).
The below comment had me laughing at 3 in the morning.

Echo was like U2 without the political BS. They should have been as big as U2. Bono turned into the Oprah of rock.

Post a comment. Tell me what you think.
Its made me a little nostalgic for some 80's and 90's Alt Rock since 91.24% of what I hear on the radio is crap. With a nod to U2, what was it that Bono said on Rattle and Hum that seems to reflect my previous statement?
