The seasoned Liverpool post-punk band provide the perfect soundtrack of disaffected teen angst and world-weary reality.
Ian McCulloch cuts a silhouette of Birthday Party era Nick Cave blended with The Cure’s Robert Smith, and has the same devout following of the two. Scores of middle-aged punks stood side by side with young Goth students to worship their moody and morose idol. A perfect soundtrack of disaffected teen angst and world-weary reality. The Bunnymen’s debut Crocodiles, some 43 years old now, is a mainstay of the introverted and the frustrated poet, the bedroom artist and diary keepers.
The aforementioned jet-black silhouette of McCulloch drafted out in a sea of dry ice, emerging to entertain with two sets and two encores consisting of a staggering, career-defining 18 tracks. Bring On The Dancing Horses concluded set one before the Bunnymen returned with Show Of Strength, Killing Moon and a crowd-pleasing and venue-wide sing-a-long to The Cutter.
