Bunnymen sign to BMG

[Mr. Brian]

According to the Facebook and Twitter Bunnymen accounts the band has signed to BMG. This is their first time on a major label since 1999 or so.

No link just a photo of Ian (comments say Will is in Paris) with some BMG folks and this caption:

Echo & the Bunnymen are so proud to sign with BMG - back on a major label and it feels great.
Looking forward in sharing future releases very soon.
Way Up & Here We Go.
Mac & Will

This is their first time on a major label since 1999 or so.

And we all know what happened then.

Will wasn't in any of the Bastille bars I walked past.

starting to look his age, haha, comes to us all.

Let's see if they're all still smiling when the sales for the new album are announced.

Although I notice Mac isn't smiling so he probably already knows.

[Mr. Brian]

Well maybe something good will come of it. I don't think DIY works for them. Maybe they need someone in charge of the release and promotion that's not so close to the band but has a vested interest, namely money.

Mac looks a bit like the bloke from Maintenance who's just wandered in, had a glass of wine shoved in his hand and hasn't got a clue what's going on!

[Mr. Brian]

I know we've all become cynical over the years, lot's of letdowns and such but with every change I still wish them the best of luck. Clarifying my earlier post...we will never get back to Ocean Rain or anything anymore than we would expect another Let It Bleed from the Rolling Stones but my hope is that a 3rd party will force a better more cohesive album vs what you get when you are surrounded by sycophants.

[Dr Cheese]

Ah but Mac and his ego, will anyone dare say him nay!

[Kounelaki]

Mac looks a bit like the bloke from Maintenance who's just wandered in, had a glass of wine shoved in his hand and hasn't got a clue what's going on!

He towers over the rest of them.

Was his jacket designed for an orangutan, those sleeves look suspiciously long!

Expect remastered and reissues for the 40th anniversary.

to be fair, all my jackets do that - short arms I guess, never knowingly bought from the orang utang rail.

I wish I could find the pot bellied pig rail, I'm sure some bastard's swapped my shirts for extra smalls in the last few months.

Looks like a Klan rally!
