\"\"The Psychedelic Furs is a quintessential English new wave band responsible for popular tracks such as \u201cLove My Way\u201d and \u201cPretty in Pink.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legendary new wave and post-punk purveyors the Psychedelic Furs will play San Antonio\u2019s Aztec Theatre with special guests We Are Scientists on May 26, according to a Tuesday morning Instagram post by the venue.<\/p>\n

Tickets<\/a> go on sale to the general public on at 10 a.m. this Friday, while artist and Live Nation presales start this Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Known for such tracks as \u201cHeaven,\u201d \u201cLove My Way\u201d and \u201cPretty In Pink,\u201d the Psychedelic Furs formed in 1977 against a backdrop of the punk explosion. Widely considered the best vintage for classic punk \u2014\u00a0see the \u201cspirit of \u201977\u201d moniker for such bands \u2014 that year saw a musical revolution around the Clash, Sex Pistols, the Damned, Wire and other insolent outfits that fostered cultural anarchy in the UK.<\/p>\n

While contemporaries of that uprising, the Psychedelic Furs weren\u2019t quite a part of it. Instead, the band separated itself from the punk of the day by putting the word \u201cpsychedelic\u201d in its name, much like the Stooges formed as the Psychedelic Stooges a decade earlier. <\/p>\n

The Stooges had long since dropped the word \u201cpsychedelic,\u201d which was already falling out of favor with the proto-punks as a relic of naive hippiedom. But like most fads, just wait about 15 years and it will become cool again. The Psychedelic Furs leaned into the archaic, and in turn made what was next.<\/p>\n

The Furs may not have been \u201cof the moment\u201d in 1977, but they emerged as one of the \u201cit\u201d bands of the \u201980s, especially after the track \u201cPretty In Pink\u201d ended up in the 1986 John Hughes film of the same name, starring Molly Ringwald, James Spader and Jon Cryer.<\/p>\n

Indie rock and post-punk revival band We Are Scientists is sure to bring its own draw to the lineup.<\/p>\n
