Psychedelic Furs

The Psychedelic Furs, whose name belies their punk-influenced music, were formed in England in 1977 by brothers Richard and Tim Butler, along with saxophone player Duncan Kilburn and guitarist Roger Morris. By the time they released their self-titled debut album in 1980, the group had become a sextet, adding guitarist John Ashton and drummer Vince Ely. That album, featuring Butler's hoarse voice (the tone of which suggested John Lydon without the sneer) was a bigger hit in England, where it reached the Top 20, than in the U.S. 'Talk Talk Talk' (1981) did better, reaching the U.S. Top 100 and producing two British singles chart entries, one of which was 'Pretty in Pink,' later also a hit in the U.S. when a new version was used as the title song of the hit film, written by John Hughes. 'Forever Now' (1982) saw the band reduced to a quartet with the departure of Kilburn and Morris. The rest moved to the U.S., turned to producer Todd Rundgren, and scored a U.S. Top 50 hit with 'Love My Way.' Ely then left, and the remaining trio of the two Butlers and Ashton made 'Mirror Moves' (1984), the biggest Psychedelic Furs hit yet. Since their reunion in early 2000, The Furs have consistently toured, to the delight of their countless loyal U.S. fans.
