Today on Instagram Rich Good posted a new interview that he did with Sactown Magazine. In the interview he talked about living in Nevada City, being a graphic designer, getting into music, when his band The Pleased toured with The Psychedelic Furs, and how he joined The Furs.

Oh, and one more thing: Only a week left until I see The Psychedelic Furs!

Concert Ads #43

During the Mirror Moves tour on May 31, 1984 The Psychedelic Furs, along with Front 242, Shriekback, and The Sisters Of Mercy performed at the Pallieterhal in Lier, Belgium.

The Tour Setlist

With me being busy (and exhausted) at work I didn't have the time to talk about the setlist for this tour. But right now I will since I have the day off today.

On the setlist there are four songs from Made Of Rain and they are "Wrong Train", "This'll Never Be Like Love", "No-One", and "You'll Be Mine". I am so happy to see "No-One" and "You'll Be Mine" on the list because they are two of my favorite Psychedelic Furs songs (with "No-One" being my #1 favorite). Another song that I was excited to see is "In My Head" from World Outside. I can't wait to hear that one.

Only two weeks left until I see The Furs and what's cool is I have October 1st off which is the day before the concert. I had a feeling I was going to work on that day but it turned out I will not after all. I can rest before the big day!

The Fall Tour Begins

Last night The Psychedelic Furs officially performed on the first day of the tour in Buffalo, New York and it's exciting that the tour has already started. I want to see what the setlist is like but on Setlist.FM it hasn't been updated. Hopefully I will find out soon.

Yesterday Zachary Alford posted a picture of the band rehearsing on his Instagram and Mars Williams is back!!

I hope Mars is feeling better now and when I checked out the photos from last night's concert it was so great seeing Mars in action. I bet he missed being on stage with the band and I hope he continues to be with them throughout the tour. Wishing Mars all the best.

Anyway, I still can't believe I'm going to see The Psychedelic Furs and the cool thing is I got October 2nd (the day I'm going to see them) off from work, so I'm very relieved about that! And once again my brother is going with me. I totally can't wait!

Behind the Songs: Get A Room

A quote from Richard Butler on the song "Get A Room."

Richard Butler: "We've had that song around for ages but it'd been in a different form, almost entirely acoustic, it had a harpsichord, and it had the cello and the acoustic guitar, and we decided to approach it in a different way when we got into the studio." (B-Side 1991)

Behind the Songs: Tearing Down

A quote from Richard Butler on the song "Tearing Down."

Richard Butler: "'Tearing Down' is another song that came about in the studio so that was fresh." (B-Side 1991)
