A tribute to Echo & the Bunnymen, The Killing Moon delivers a masterful recreation of the shimmering guitars and cinematic atmosphere that defined that band and the 1980s post-punk era. Driven by the collective experience of four Buffalo Music Hall of Fame members, the band is dedicated to honouring the legendary music from the glory days of college radio. The Killing Moon brings Echo & The Bunnymen’s atmospheric post-punk to the stage, including “The Killing Moon,” “Lips Like Sugar” and “The Cutter.”
