Tonight’s opener was my highlight. The Photographic had a sound somewhere between Echo and the XX perhaps a hint of MBV. Sonic depth and taste throughout. They have an album of instrumental stuff you can get now but there newer vocal material is on the way and i’m looking forward to hearing that. I don’t look forward to a lot of music these days.
Our show was another fine one tonight… Louisville people are good, loud and have colourful hair.
Best show for the tour for me. Everything was just right at the Vogue; cool shimmery opening band, nice wooden stage, weird sound that was somehow just perfect, and the most enthusiastic crowd i’ve seen since Texas. Maybe best show i’ve done with this band. Thanks Indiana.
(Great food at 3 Sisters Cafe here too)
Happy fans in this town. Some from far far away – thank you for making the trip good peoples. LOUD show, at least for me… i believe we were taking off and floating at once point during House…
There is a guitar store here that had way too much stuff that i need. Mikes Music. Its crazy in there – check it out if you’re in town.
Loved this one. I believe it was a tough room to mix and soundcheck was hard going but the feel on stage tonight… loud and dark just how i like it. Great audience! Got to hang out with an old friend from Brighton too… all in all pretty cool here in Kent despite the lack of oast houses.

The people of Canada would not shut up. This picture is the thinned crowd from about 10 minutes after the show… They were very good to us (and i think we were probably not bad for them).
Got to hang with Ev from Islands at the strange aftershow and that’s always a good thing! I didn’t sleep in Canada and this led to a rather embarrassing 4th attempt 4am bus wakeup by the boss at the border.
And what’s that record store all about? The one by Honest Ed’s; holy cow. My records are in storage. I miss them.
I played this on my first tour with the furs. Weird town hall-esque set up to be honest but, as guitar player with the Furs, i had one of the best times i’ve had playing music with these people…
Nice big red theatre just how i like them. A good vibe for a sunday I’d say. House.
Hoboken, NJ, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor.The last time i visited Maxwells i was in this band called The Pleased. We had a great new album and were fortunate enough to be supporting the Psychedelic Furs on a US tour in 2004. That day it was pouring down and the show got cancelled due to the roof being in danger of collapse or something like that. So instead, the Pleased and the Furs had dinner. I talked with Tim and Richard about Roxy Music. That is still happening.
Maxwells = hot & sweaty & nasty sounding & i loved it. Thanks.
Took pictures of the Empire State.
This guy had fun too. and this cool Tumblr pic.
I love New York; i had some very late and very great times with a my friends here. And I miss Austin, TX.
At first i thought this show was going to match its sedate sounding name. But in the last few songs of the set these people overwhelmed the awful security, sassing them with some incredible moves that only children of the seventies could revive. Stage invasions ensued. When we returned for encore security had surrendered and we had a proper close audience. It was literally awesome and i love those people. Good job. Nice town.
I like the World Cafe. It sat empty for 50 years before recent refurbishing. When they opened up the movie projector after that motionless spell it was still in posession of “The House on Haunted Hill”. Tonight it was haunted by a noisy crowd of Furs fans. Almost bought a another Telecaster in a pawn shop.
