Band / Artist's Name: Echo and the Bunnymen Web Site: http://www.bunnymen.com/ Warner Bros / Wea This Item Also Listed Under: Albums Purchase At: Amazon.com earTunes Notes: From Wikipedia: "Echo & the Bunnymen is a British rock group formed in Liverpool in 1978. .... The pair (Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant) met in Liverpool as teenagers in 1978. As the story goes, the group consisted of only the two young musicians and a drum machine named Echo, which allegedly inspired the band's unusual name. "Yeah, that story is rubbish," Sergeant said. "We used to tell the press we got the name from the drum machine, but that was just to shut people up, you know?" We just wanted a name that was completely different, and Echo was just a word we liked," he said. "Now, Bunnymen, there was an idea behind that, of these weird, spirit, bunny things that, like, existed only in folklore. There's one on the cover of our first single, 'Pictures on My Wall.'
