The Psychedelic Furs

[wheneveriwakeup]

The Psychedelic Furs came together in England's emerging punk scene in 1977, where they were initially called "RKO," then "Radio." They then vacillated between calling themselves "The Psychedelic Furs" and "The Europeans", playing gigs under both names before permanently settling on the former name.[1] The band initially consisted of Richard Butler (vocals), Tim Butler (bass guitar), Duncan Kilburn (saxophone), Paul Wilson (drums)[1] and Roger Morris (guitars). By 1979, this line up had expanded to a sextet with Vince Ely replacing Wilson on drums and John Ashton being added on guitar.

Hmm... They sound interesting. I'll look them up and give them a listen! Do you have any recommendations for a first time listener?

Have you ever seen the 80's movie 'Pretty in Pink'? The have song with the same title. That'd be a nice starter. 'Love My Way' is pretty epic, too.
