The Warhol is pleased to present An Evening with The Psychedelic Furs at the Carnegie Lecture Hall in Oakland. Led by the smoky vocals and poetic lyrics of songwriter and front man Richard Butler, The Psychedelic Furs emerged out of the late 70’s UK punk scene and made their debut on the U.S. album charts with 1981’s Talk Talk Talk. One of the singles from that album, Pretty in Pink, would become a bona-fide teenage anthem after being re-recorded for the platinum-selling soundtrack of the 1986 John Hughes film of the same name. After seven studio albums with other hits such as Love My Way, Heaven, and The Ghost In You, the band took a hiatus through most of the 90’s and resumed touring in 2000.
This program is co-presented wtih WYEP 91.3 Presents
