They only have 10 shows on the schedule currently, but have posted on Facebook that they intend to announce more dates on <strong>Monday, April 3rd<\/strong>, not surprising since they\u2019ve already sold out three dates so far. <\/p>\n<p>Opening was <strong>Robyn Hitchcock<\/strong>. He\u2019s simplified his sound since the days of <strong>Robyn Hitchcock &#038; the Egyptians<\/strong>. This simplicity of a man and his acoustic guitar highlighted the singer-songwriter\u2019s vocals perfectly. He played fan favorites like <strong>\u201cBalloon Man\u201d <\/strong>and <strong>\u201cMy Wife and My Dead Wife.\u201d<\/strong> In-between songs, the banter was almost equal to his music and had the crowd fully entertained. I\u2019m still amused that the first track on his CD, <strong>The Man Upstairs<\/strong>, or \u201cdodgy merch,\u201d as he called it, was a cover of <strong>\u201cThe Ghost in You,\u201d<\/strong> by <strong>The Psychedelic Furs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eFvRUyrOMLE?start=35&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The last time I saw the Furs live was in 2004, and they have only gotten better with time. While the lineup of the band has changed throughout the years, the haunting rasp of <strong>Richard Butler<\/strong> on lead vocals and <strong>Tim Butler<\/strong> on bass guitar have remained a constant. The Furs are currently rounded out by Paul Garisto (drums), Mars Williams on sax, Amanda Kramer on keys and <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbeginnerguitartoday.com\/top-5-of-best-guitar-brands\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Rich Good on the guitar<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since they haven\u2019t put out a new album-notwithstanding multiple greatest hits albums-since <strong>World Outside <\/strong>(1991), the set list focused on fan favorites. Listening to <strong>\u201cLove My Way\u201d<\/strong> took me right back to the first time I saw their video on MTV and was immediately entranced. In 1988 I would have the fortune of introducing their sound to EQ Music Editor <strong>Raj Rudolph<\/strong> through <strong>\u201cHeartbreak Beat\u201d<\/strong>, shocked that he hadn\u2019t already discovered them himself. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The Psychedelic Furs<\/strong> played with the energy and verve that first garnered them attention and success leaving me both wanting more while in heaven-reference intended. <\/p>\n<p>This longtime fan hopes it sparks some new music soon!<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Psychedelic Furs kicked off their 2017 US tour in Austin, TX at Emo\u2019s and Austin blogger Terri Rushfeldt was there to capture the magic. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21956,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[276],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
