Rare are the quarter-century club bands whose new material holds its own when performed alongside classic tracks. That was certainly the case at Echo & the Bunnymen's sold-out show Saturday night at Axis, as the band proved it is capable of selling more than gauzy nostalgia. It certainly helps that it has a strong album, the recently released ''Siberia," to promote. So while Echo & the Bunnymen opened the hour-plus show with the driving ''Going Up," from their 1980 debut, ''Crocodiles," and later played ''All That Jazz" from the same album, new songs such as ''Stormy Weather" and ''Scissors in the Sand" were delivered with just as much verve. Still, for all the intensity of its music, the band itself conserves energy. Its members don't bounce around the stage trying to incite the audience, and they keep the overt rock-star gestures to a minimum. Lead singer Ian McCulloch began many songs crouched near the base of the microphone, and once he stood up, he rarely moved from that spot, with both hands on the mike stand. Other than curt ''thank you"s and the obligatory shout-out to Boston, McCulloch was mostly content to sing, smoke, and quench his thirst. But it was far from a boring performance. At one point, McCulloch sang an a cappella verse of Frank Sinatra's ''Summer Wind," and then launched into the Doors' raunchy ''Roadhouse Blues." The late Jim Morrison and his bandmates have always been a prime influence on Echo & the Bunnymen's dark psychedelia. Watching McCulloch perform such songs as ''Killing Moon" and ''The Disease," it's also obvious that the Beatles weren't the only Liverpool band to influence fellow Brits Oasis, who hail from Manchester. Oasis lead singer Liam Gallagher's stage presence is a lot like McCulloch's, yet while Gallagher's posture favors surly insolence, McCulloch's mood is more one of self-involved insouciance. Will Sergeant, who, save for the Smiths' Johnny Marr, was the most distinctive guitarist to emerge from post-punk Britain, evokes a similar mood. Yet his big, churning riffs gave the songs and performance -- to borrow one of the band's song titles -- a potent show of strength. ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://www.villiersterrace.com * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 21:11:00 -0500 From: Frank Coleman Subject: seven-seas OT: Link Wray, RIP http://www.linkwraylegend.com/ FYI, FBC // ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://www.villiersterrace.com * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * ====================================================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V4 #557 ********************************
