Today's ear X-tacy features a classic track or deep-cut from the Alternative era every weekday at 10:10.

Today in 1978 Echo & the Bunnymen made their performance debut at Eric's Club in Liverpool, England, opening for The Teardrop Explodes.

Fast forward to July 5, 1992. The band appeared at the Phoenix Hill Tavern in Louisville, Kentucky. Perhaps you were fortunate to see that show?

Seems appropriate to play “Bring On The Dancing Horses” as today’s ear X-tacy. It was released this week in 1985.
