I saw these lads growing up learning their instruments and getting their first contract. I introduced them to a lot of jazz music which you can here in their music. From Worthing, West Sussex.
The Psychedelic Furs. Two stunning albums and then years of pap. Their second album 'Talk Talk Talk' is my favourite of the post-punk era. Here from the Peel Sessions a slightly harder faster sound which I like. Here the wonderful 'Into You Like A Train'.........
I got into them via John Peel and saw them 5 or 6 times. The last one was at The Hammersmith Odeon in late '82 [?] by which point they'd done 'Forever Now' and lost that edge they had. I prefer to remember them like this....
A special song from a special night. Paul Fox's last performance with Henry Rollins as vocalist. Foxy, Foxy.
