Alt-rock pioneers REM influenced countless others who would follow, including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Radiohead. They were a band who always did things on their own terms, never compromising on their artistic independence. They called it a day on their own terms in 2011 and have repeatedly ruled out ever reuniting. Stipe was formed so that fans old and new can experience the magic of hearing these songs played live with care, conviction, and affection. As huge fans of REM this stunning 5-piece take the music (if not themselves) VERY seriously. Iconic songs such as Losing My Religion, Everybody Hurts, Stand, and It’s the End of the World As We Know it (and I Feel Fine) are recreated note-for-note, while Richard Southern’s carefully-crafted vocal pays homage to Michael Stipe’s unique voice and enigmatic performance style. These guys are awesome’ – Michael Stipe, lead singer REM This is an aural tribute to the alternative Fab Four featuring some of the best tracks from the original lineup’s amazing run of albums. Played by musicians who are huge fans of the Bunnymen, authentically recreating the early sound of one of the UK’s best-ever indie bands. It’s not a traditional tribute act. No dressing up or daft accents, just a love and appreciation of some enduringly classic tunes – hit after hit with a sound so pure it will give you goosebumps! The band generally do a different set every night, selecting from iconic anthems including Seven Seas, The Puppet, Do it Clean, Lips Like Sugar, Rescue and The Cutter alongside a ton more stone-cold alternative classics from the Bunnymen catalogue. ‘Oh Wow’ – Les Pattinson, Echo and the Bunnymen ‘If you see they’re on anywhere go check them out’ – Will Seargent, EATB
