Echo and the Bunnymen on the Tube

When I was 13 Muchmusic used to show reruns from a very cool British music program called the tube.

The tube was a live show intended for contemporary bands to play new music. The show launched the careers of Jools Holland(of Squeeze fame)and Paula Yates(who was involved in a love triangle with Bob Geldof and Michael Hutchence).

This show was responsible for getting me into such bands as The Smiths, Aztec Camera, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Iggy Pop and Echo and the Bunnymen, at a very young impressionable age.

Check out Echo and the Bunnymen's performance of Killing Moon. It's pretty ace.



I'll be putting up more performances from this iconic show as I go along.
