Bunnyman : A Memoir
Echo & the Bunnymen - Book - by Will Sergeant
(2022)
Growing
up in Liverpool in the 1960s and '70s, when skinheads, football
violence and fear of just about everything was the natural order of
things, a young Will Sergeant found the emerging punk scene provided a
shimmer of hope amongst a crumbling city still reeling from the
destruction of the Second World War. From school-day horrors and mud
flinging fun to nights at Liverpool's punk club, Eric's, Sergeant was
fuelled by and thrived on music. It was this devotion that led to the
birth of the Bunnymen, to the days when he and Ian McCulloch would muck
around with reel-to-reel recordings of song ideas in the back parlour of
his parents' council estate house, and to finding a community -
friends, enemies and many in between - with those who would become
post-punk royalty from the likes of Dead or Alive, Frankie Goes to
Hollywood and the Teardrop Explodes to name a few.
It
was an uphill struggle to carve their name in the history of Liverpool
music, but Echo and the Bunnymen became iconic, with songs like 'Lips
Like Sugar,' 'The Cutter' and 'The Killing Moon'. By turns wry, explicit
and profound, Bunnyman reveals what it was really like to be part of
one of the most important British bands of the 1980s.
