Liverpool’s Echo & the Bunnymen headlined the Fillmore in Minneapolis on Wednesday, September 6th.
We previously wrote about Cayucas as originally named Oregon Bike Trails in 2013. The Santa Monica group features twins Zach and Ben Yudin.
After signing to Secretly Canadian and going on tour with Ra Ra Riot, the band remained relatively quiet since they released Blue Summer during the pandemic…. that is until we caught wind that they were heading out on tour with Echo & the Bunnymen, in August 2022.
As Zach explained on stage, they were asked to support Echo because the band is a big fan of their song, “Yeah Yeah Yeah”, which they happily played on their set. In fact, they made sure the song is played every night, per Echo and the Bunnymen’s personal request.
It’s easy to see why the band likes it - it’s super catchy: “I stopped and stuttered, turned around and muttered, ‘damn, I guess I'm a dork’, yeah yeah yeah…” Even if you didn’t know the lyrics, the ‘yeah yeah yeah’ will have you singing along.
They ended their 40-min set with “Summer Moon”, and there was a very long wait until the main attraction came on stage. The crowd was restless, and you can overhear someone asks, “What time are they coming on?”
About 9:30pm, Echo & the Bunnymen, came on stage, in darkness: Ian McCulloch on vocals and Will Sergeant on lead guitars, with Pete Reilly on guitars, Stephen Brannan on bass, Mike Smith on keyboards and Simon Finley on drums.
They had the audience in the palm of their hands, hand-picking selective tracks from their 13 albums! I don’t know every song on their playlist, but I knew plenty of diehard fans in the audience that knew them all.
McCulloch spent the entire show sitting on his chair, so he didn’t bring his dancing shoes with him, despite singing songs very danceable songs like “Bring In the Dancing Horses”.
I felt that the band really came alive only during the encores, and yes, a triple encore, no less. During the encore(s), Ian can be seen standing up and walking about… which I felt should have been on display during the main show.
Of course, they saved all their well-known songs for the encores. “Lips Like Sugar” on the first encore. Then “The Killing Moon”, for the second encore. By now, the majority of fans have left… and finally, “Ocean Rain”. Those who stayed to the very end, there were no complaints…. in fact, they wanted more.
Talking to a true fan, they said that he once saw them in their hometown in Liverpool, and they had to wait a full five minutes before the band came back on stage (and probably by then they lost a sizeable portion of the audience). I guess the band has a history of making the fans earned it… and get rewarded for the wait.
