For anyone local to these venues, I can't stress enough how much you should try to get to one of these gigs. The Furs are awesome live, and it'll really take you right back to the old days!
The last three dates have just been added to the tour, so catch them if you can. I saw the band in Houston back in April, and was fortunate enough to go backstage afterwards and meet them.
***********
(TTT) = Talk Talk Talk show, where the first set is the Furs playing their iconic 1981 album in it's entirety, and the second set is a mixture of other material. Talk Talk Talk is, of course, the album featuring the track that went on to inspire John Hughes to create the movie we all love, Pretty In Pink. Where gigs are NOT marked as TTT, there will be a support act.

Dunno if I can do that - but which show are you going to? Your profile doesn't really help me on that score!
