Ineffable Live and Second Octave Presents: The Psychedelic Furs and X, live at SOMO Village Event Center on Wednesday, July 25! Tickets  are available at SOMOConcerts.com

If you were to dissect today’s alternative rock music, you’ll find that much of it pays homage to The Psychedelic Furs​. Led by vocalist and songwriter Richard Butler, and his bass-wielding brother Tim, the Furs scored major hits with “Love My Way,” “Pretty In Pink,” “Heaven,” “The Ghost In You,” and “Heartbreak Beat” in all releasing seven studio albums, spawning several compilations, a boxed set, and a live concert DVD.

 

 

Born out of the post-punk UK rock scene, the Furs quickly developed as one of the premiere bands on US College and Modern Rock radio scoring a multitude of #1 singles. With the advent of MTV in the early 80’s the band took off into the stratosphere, and when John Hughes’ approached the band with his film built around the Furs’ song “Pretty In Pink”, the band’s legacy was cemented. After a brief hiatus in the 90’s, and a side project called “Love Spit Love”, the  band regrouped at the dawn of the new millennium.

X ​were the quintessential L.A. punk rockers before they grew into a world-class rock & roll band and live band; enthusiasm for their unique, intelligent and humorous work has lead them through four decades of music since the inception of X, one thing is clear: X was not only one of the most influential bands to crash out of the punk movement of the late ‘70s, but the band’s music continues to be sonically groundbreaking today. Songs written during the group’s inception are as relevant and inventive today as they were in 1977.
