The Psychedelic Furs may not have invented rock & roll per se, but their influence since arriving on the post-punk scorched- earth landscape four decades ago has reverberated and resonated among all those who cherish the sweet-and-sour spot where rawness and romanticism meet.
Born out of the UK post-punk scene and led by vocalist and songwriter Richard Butler, and his bass-wielding brother Tim, the Furs quickly developed as one of the premiere bands at college and alternative radio scoring a flurry of major hits with "Love My Way", "Pretty In Pink", "Heaven", "The Ghost In You", and “Heartbreak Beat” in all releasing eight studio albums, spawning several compilations, a boxed set, a live concert DVD and inspiring one of the most iconic motion picture soundtracks of all time. Nearly thirty years later, their latest release “Made Of Rain” has charted in a multitude of countries and became the Furs’ second highest ranked UK Album ever. It was prominently featured in the end of year “Best Albums” chart roundup in dozens of publications worldwide. But, the Furs especially thrive live in concert having headlined at the U.K.’s famed Glastonbury Festival, and more recently at esteemed venues including the Hollywood Bowl, London’s Royal Albert Hall, New York’s Radio City Music Hall among others.
With a dazzling live show, they continue to tour quite regularly across the globe.
The Psychedelic Furs touring lineup remains Richard Butler (vocals); Tim Butler (bass); Rich Good (guitar); Amanda Kramer (keyboards) and Zachary Alford (drums).
Praça da Canção is an emblematic and historic space in Coimbra, known for hosting cultural events and memorable moments. Located on the banks of the Mondego River, this park has a long tradition as a meeting point for students and artists, making it a special place to celebrate music and culture.
