Although the two bands shared some crossover in the years in which they were musically active, it's hard not to think of the Psychedelic Furs as a quintessential 80's band and the Happy Mondays part of the early 90's musical landscape. An odd paring for sure, but not totally out of scope (or is it?).The two bands will tour North American (and bits of Canada) this fall. We must admit, we are i...

Relishing in the sounds of my youth, I can’t forget about these guys, The Psychedelic Furs. I usually don’t post tour dates unless they are going to have some direct impact on me possibly seeing the band, but this is a “wish” post, in hopes that the TBA dates will find the Furs here in [...]

Although I actually drink green tea, after two hours researching personal injury and product liability news, I needed something romantic and unspoiled.

One of the Trusteds - Augusts1, to be precise - tendered the news that the raving loonies/house-funk-soul-rockers of Happy Mondays - standard-bearers of the Madchester sound that sprung up in Manchester, England during the late '80s - were reuniting and sharing a U.S. tour with another reconstituted U.K. group, new-wave fave the Psychedelic Furs. Two bands I followed and enjoyed on their initia...

I wanted to squeeze this in before midnight here, since it fits, but also because it's a great song.This was another video that got a lot of play in my early days of watching MTV. So much, in fact, that I lost the love for the song for a while, and had to leave it alone and revisit it later. MTV was unfortunately quite good at that back then; see dachmo's post on The Tubes for my take on "She's...

I know, I know, I just finished posting my fawning paean to one Psychedelic Furs song. I was watching this video, and it struck me so funny. How totally awesome are Richard Butler's dance/mime moves here? Is *this* what they meant by Mirror Moves?!?I'm not hating on the song, mind, but this album starts the steep downhill slope that ends at their egregious self-cover of "Pretty In Pink".Well, w...

In the Deadwood days of p2p it was really surprising what oddities you could find. Like this choice cut from the Psychedelic Furs, recorded for the King Biscuit Flour Hour.The Furs were one of the big post-punk bands to come out of Britain and embodied both a music and attitude that exists to this day (I'm pointing at you, Lilly Allen). That is, the music is good but these people joined bands t...

In my continuing quest to right the wrongs of unposted & neglected musicians/groups I discovered last night there were no posts for the Furs!! WTF? I know I've seen at least one post but maybe it was just a vid someone posted in the comments of someone else's post. So it got buried. Oh well.I'm rectifying this now damnit! My fav Furs song off "Book Of Days"('89).Wiki sez: "The Psychedelic Furs ...
