SATURDAY NIGHT ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN, JOHN WATTS.

Echo & The Bunnymen with Monkeys. Album Crocodiles (1980).





English postpunkband from Liverpool, formed in 1978. Consisted originally of Ian McCulloch (vocals), Will Sergeant (guitarist), Les Pattinson (bass) and a drum machine. This was their debut album.



John Watts with One Voice. Album One More Twist (1982).





Post the Fisher-Z breakup, in 1981, Watts had this solo gig. He brought out out his first album, One More Twist, the year after. AFAIK only one hit was drawn from it, One Voice. Not too long after there followed another album, The Iceberg Model, but I guess the fizz was gone by then.

This number would be okay if one could tune out the lyrics. Sounds too much like it's written for snotholes skipping school for zhe climate, and I am sooooooooo tired of that.



Goede nacht.


MFBB.
