Despite what you may think, the Psychedelic Furs aren't really that psychedelic. Their roots are noble enough, early influences being such greats as the Seeds, the Doors, the Stooges, the Velvet Underground and the 13th Floor Elevators. In this age of power fucking pop and neoconservatism, one wonders why a group would want to name themselves the Psychedelic Furs.
“We’re into the heavy side of psychedelic music, die side with the really heavy beat,” Said vocalist Richard Butler, between sips of Jim Beam. “We’re into things with a good beat. Given you’re a band called the Psychedelic Furs, people obviously think you’re going to be psychedelic. We are psychedelic in a lot of ways, but we’re not going to go around sticking flowers down the barrels of guns at Kent State University and all that shit.”
