Event Details
The Psychedelic Furs are a post-punk band founded in
London in February 1977. Led by lead vocalist Richard Butler and his brother Tim
Butler on bass guitar, the Psychedelic Furs are one of the many acts spawned from
the British post-punk scene. Their music went through several phases, from an
initially austere art rock sound, to later touching on new wave and hard rock.
The band had several hits in their early career. In 1986, filmmaker John Hughes
used their song "Pretty in Pink" for his film of the same name. They went on hiatus
after they finished touring in 1992 but resumed in 2000 and continue to perform
live. The band released Made of Rain, their first studio album in nearly three
decades, on 31 July 2020.
Living Colour is an American rock band from New York City, formed in 1984. The
band currently consists of guitarist Vernon Reid, lead vocalist Corey Glover,
drummer Will Calhoun and bassist Doug Wimbish (who replaced Muzz Skillings in
1992). Stylistically, their music is a creative fusion influenced by heavy metal, funk,
jazz, hip hop, punk, and alternative rock. The band's lyrics range from the personal
to the political, including social commentary on racism in the United States.
Although they scored several hits, Living Colour is best known for their signature
song "Cult of Personality", which won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock
Performance in 1990 and has been consistently used as the entrance theme for
professional wrestler CM Punk since 2011.
