A staple of the '80s British post-punk and new wave rock scene, The Psychedelic Furs are riding a new wave of nostalgia. Led by vocalist Richard Butler and his bassist brother Tim, the band came into prominence in 1986 when director John Hughes used their song "Pretty in Pink" in his blockbuster movie of the same name. After taking time off in the '90s, they resumed touring in 2000. Twenty years later, they released their critically acclaimed album Made of Rain, their first LP in nearly three decades.
On stage, Richard's raspy vocals and theatrical stage presence remain captivating, while Tim's signature bass lines provide an indispensable backdrop. It may be 40 years, but the band's moody, atmospheric songs and lyrical depth are as brilliant as ever.
Opening the show is special guest Living Colour. In 1988, the rock band's debut album Vivid reached #6 on the Billboard 200™ chart and was later certified double platinum. In 1989, "Cult of Personality" reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100™ chart and went on to earn the group its first of two Grammy® Awards.
Today, the band continues to blow people away with their crisp vocals, powerful guitar riffs and tight rhythm section. It's the perfect mix of melancholy soul and rock energy that will make for an electrifying evening.
