What now?

Here’s a new place where i’m storing ideas and sketches that won’t fit in to Kings & Queens, Whatever’s Next or the Psychedelic Furs box. I’ll be constantly adding things here. Hope you enjoy. Bandcamp or Facebook

No one was sick and no one passed out this time. Good times. Love this video clip….

Wandered my favourite city, played one of my favourite venues, met some rats. Done.

Furs tonight, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor.

I met some nice fans outside the bus tonight and someone asked “Can you explain the thinking behind not doing Shock?”. I presented the usual line that we can’t do every song; if we do Shock you lose Heaven and then people will ask why we don’t do Heaven etc… To which he replied “But Shock is the name of the album!” I honestly don’t think he believed me when i tried to explain that that album was called Midnight to Midnight.

Speaking of shocks, tonight was amazing because i got to experience playing Furs songs with two guitars and my axe partner was mr Richard Fortus. He’s an unbelieveable player and it was truly one of the most fun shows I’ve done… Heartbreak Beat which is usually the most technically challenging to pull off became simple! Trading licks on Mr Jones, huge chorus on Believe, thrashing through India – it doesn’t get much better. Or louder. RF is a gentleman and this goes in the book of favourite shows.

I like doing this…

We’re on tour with Tom Tom Club. Tina is rocking it like its their first time playing Genius… We’re doing Only You and I. Warm outdoor show.

= Perfect first day.

I’m out with those darn Furs again for 6 weeks across the US… It all begins with aeroplanes, overpriced drinks and tacos. I shall update this here and there… See you out there.

A brand new festival getting on its feet – they were trying hard but hampered by weird travel to the event and some out of the ordinary weather that canceled the last day. Fortunately for us we got a decent crowd and had a lot of fun playing in a sea of hipster bubbles. Just don’t try to sell me a tie dye top hat at this juncture, ok?

Furs at Escape 2 NY by Dana Distortion

The Green Rhino is in., originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor.

The Way Huge Green Rhino is THE essential overdrive. I’m excited about this. Finally, one that does exactly what i what it to do with plenty of headroom and legroom… Now i just need a Cathedral and a new tap delay… hmmm.
