Echo and the Bunnymen emerged from the post-punk scene of Liverpool in England in the late '70s, and injected a shot of desolation into the synthesized neon colors of the New Wave music scene. While their debut album Crocodiles held compositions of jarring angst, later albums like Ocean Rain promised gentle beauty. However, by the time the group broke up in 1988, it was a shadow of its former self.

I did commercials for Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice, did lots of cereal commercials, Denny's Breakfast Buffet commercials, and I worked in restaurants while I was doing commercials - all over LA as a waitress and a hostess - and just hustle.
