PSYCHEDELIC FURS TO PLAY INTIMATE GIG AT BRISTOL FLEECE
Tickets are now on sale for a rare intimate UK show from The Furs at The Fleece Bristol on Wednesday July 4.
The Furs are over from their now resident USA and playing The Hop Farm Festival in Kent (Sun 1st July). It would be rude not to play a few club gigs whilst in the homeland! The Fleece (Capacity 400) is certainly the smallest of these few club gigs dotted around the country and the Psychedelic Furs bring with them a new level of act to this vibrant venue. Not to be missed for any Furs fans.
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).
