Psychedelic Furs in Rancho Mirage

Psychedelic Furs are a British post-punk and new wave band formed in London in 1977 by brothers Richard and Tim Butler. They are known for songs including “Pretty in Pink,” “Love My Way,” “Heaven” and “The Ghost in You,” and for albums such as Talk Talk Talk and Forever Now. “Pretty in Pink” also gave its name to John Hughes’s 1986 film. Psychedelic Furs reunited in 2000 after an extended hiatus and returned to touring theatres and festivals. Following the release of Made of Rain, their first studio album in nearly three decades, they took the record on tour and joined Squeeze for a co-headlining North American run in 2023.

We Are Scientists are an American indie-rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 2000. Centered on vocalist and guitarist Keith Murray and bassist Chris Cain, they became known through the album With Love and Squalor and songs including “Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt,” “The Great Escape” and “After Hours.” In 2006, We Are Scientists toured Britain on the NME Awards Tour alongside Arctic Monkeys, Maxïmo Park and Mystery Jets. That summer they played the Reading and Leeds festivals, followed later that year by a headline show at Brixton Academy in London.
