(3/8/01, 12 p.m. ET) - The Psychedelic Furs will hit the road for an extended tour that will showcase not only the group's New Wave-era hits like "Love My Way" and "The Ghost In You" but also the band's first new material in a decade. The group will kick off the 36-day trek in Plainview, New York on March 23 and gig through the middle of May.
Founding members Richard Butler, Tim Butler, and John Ashton reconvened last year for a series of dates with the Go-Go's and the B-52's. "Because we're not exactly sure what to expect from ourselves or the audience," says frontman Richard Butler, "the whole idea of being in the Psychedelic Furs is exciting again."
The Furs' Greatest Hits arrived from Sony Legacy earlier this year.
