The Psychedelic Furs were a British new wave band founded in London in the mid to late 1970s, led by singer Richard Butler and his brother Tim Butler on bass guitar, the Psychedelic Furs are one of the many acts spawned from the British post-punk scene. Their music went through several phases, from an initially austere art rock sound, to later touching on new wave and elements of hard rock.
Early tracks that I particularly liked included 'Sister Europe' & 'India' from their self-named debut album in 1979.
The band had several hits in their early career. In 1986, filmmaker John Hughes used their song "Pretty in Pink" for his film of the same name.
I saw them play at the Sports Centre in Crawley and then again later in Reading, whilst at Uni.
