The Psychedelic Furs announce live dates

tickets will go on sale on Friday

news: Wednesday 9th May 2012

'80s 'Pretty In Pink' indie/punk rockers The Psychedelic Furs are over from their now resident USA and playing The Hop Farm Festival in Kent (Sun 1st July). The band thought it would be rude not to play a few club gigs whilst in their homeland, and the Furs have announced live dates around their festival date.

If you sit and talk to many of the alternative rock artists dominating today's music, you'll find that many of them pay homage to the The Psychedelic Furs. Led by front man and songwriter Richard Butler, the Furs won over fans and critics alike by combining poetic lyrics, innovative rhythms and melodies driven by an aggressive, punk desperation. Through it all, the band scored major hits with 'Love My Way'," 'Pretty In Pink', 'Heaven', 'The Ghost In You', and 'Heartbreak Beat' in all releasing seven studio albums and spawning several compilations, a boxed set, and a live concert DVD.

These days, the band continues to tour around the world. The current Psychedelic Furs touring lineup remains Richard Butler (vocals), Tim Butler (bass), Rich Good (guitar), Mars Williams (saxophone), Amanda Kramer (keyboards), and Paul Garisto (drums).

Sat 30th June The Duchess, York
