The legendary Psychedelic Furs are back on the road for a
headline tour this June and July for a look back at their extensive back
catalogue.
Since forming all the way back in 1977 the band were a major
part of the emerging punk scene in England. They found success with their first
album release in 1980 which took them across the world with fans across Europe
and even Australia.
But the Furs hadn’t reached their forte yet as America
financially caught on to their gritty talents with their next release which
brought them chart success on yet another continent. Their hit track “Pretty In
Pink” also fed inspiration to the young producer John Hughes who brought his
cult classic of the same name, to the big screen several years later.
The band took a break from their heady days as the
psychedelic furs but even after exploring side projects like Love Spit Love,
they’ve returned to the Furs moniker to settle some unfinished business in
2000.
Countless new artists have seen career highs and lows, many
have faded away forever, but the Psychedelic Furs remain as relevant as ever,
decades on. Whether you were at a Furs show in their early days or are a brand
new fan, you’re sure to be blown away by their unbeatable stage presence and
skill.
