THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS To Perform Live At Ruth Eckerd Hall
LIVING COLOUR will join THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS as special guest at the St. Petersburg venue.
Ruth Eckerd Hall on the Road will present The Psychedelic Furs with special guest Living Colour at Jannus Live on Thursday, September 3 at 8pm. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 8 at 10 am.
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, alive concert DVD and inspiring one of the most iconic motion picture soundtracks of all time. Decades later, their latest release Made Of Rain 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 and Nashville's Grand ‘Ole Opry among others. With a dazzling live show, they continue to tour quite regularly across the globe.
General Admission tickets are priced at $47.50 and can only be purchased in advance at www.AXS.com. If available day of show, tickets priced at $55 can be purchased at the will call window located at the Jannus Live main entrance, which typically opens 15-30 minutes before gates open.
