Ian McCulloch “Honeydrip”
Posted on May 31, 2010
He is most notable for being the lead singer of Echo And The Bunnymen, but
Ian McCulloch has put out a few solo releases, including Mysterio in 1992. The song “Honeydrip” was the first single from the album and received some airplay, but has faded into obscurity since…
Echo And The Bunnymen reunited in the 1990s, and that was when I met Ian McCulloch. He came into 91X the day of his San Diego concert to do an on-air interview and play a couple songs. I was the music director there at the time. Ian ended up staying in town for a couple days, and had me take him out on the town. I remember at the time thinking that he certainly lived up to his reputation of enjoying a good time.

There’s a lovely Daytrotter session with Ian from just a few months ago (with an interesting write-up of how the whole thing came to be) here:
