The Psychedelic Furs, Rooney

The Psychedelic Furs may not have invented rock & roll per se,

but their influence since arriving on the post-punk scorched-

earth landscape four decades ago has reverberated and

resonated among all those who cherish the sweet-and-sour

spot where rawness and romanticism meet. Born out of the UK

post-punk scene and led by vocalist and songwriter Richard

Butler, and his bass-wielding brother Tim, the Furs quickly

developed as one of the premiere bands at college and

alternative radio scoring a flurry of major hits with "Love My

Way," "Pretty In Pink," "Heaven," "The Ghost In You," and

“Heartbreak Beat” in all releasing eight studio albums,

spawning several compilations, a boxed set, a live concert DVD

and inspiring one of the most iconic motion picture soundtracks

of all time. Decades later, their latest release “Made Of Rain”

charted in a multitude of countries and became the Furs’

second highest ranked UK Album ever. It was prominently

featured in the end of year “Best Albums” chart roundup in

dozens of publications worldwide. But, the Furs especially

thrive live in concert having headlined at the U.K.’s famed

Glastonbury Festival, and more recently at esteemed venues

including the Hollywood Bowl, London’s Royal Albert Hall,

New York’s Radio City Music Hall, and Nashville’s Grand ‘Ole

Opry among others. With a dazzling live show, they continue to

tour quite regularly across the globe.

The Psychedelic Furs touring lineup remains Richard Butler

(vocals); Tim Butler (bass); Rich Good (guitar); Amanda Kramer

(keyboards) and Zachary Alford (drums).
