 To celebrate their 30th Anniversary as a group (which apparently includes the seven year period when the band broke up in 1990 before reforming in '97), post-punk gods Echo And The Bunnymen will perform their fourth (and widely hailed as their classic) album Ocean Rain October 1 at New York City's Radio City Music Hall.While it would be awesome enough to hear the group perform classic Rain cuts like "Seven Seas" and "The Killing Moon," the group will be joined at this show by a 10-piece orchestra, which will be conducted by Rupert Christie, who recently helped guide a similar orchestral production of Lou Reed's Berlin. Rain, while highly regarded, is only nine songs long, so don't be too surprised if the group pulls a few more songs out of the catalog for the show.
But don't think the Bunnymen are only about the past these days, as Ian McCulloch and Co. are currently working on a new album titled The Fountain for release later this year, with a UK single, "I Think I Need It Too," to be released in August. www.bunnymen.com Source: cmj.com
