Furthur No More

Founded in 2009 by Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, Furthur was named after the famed psychedelic-painted touring bus used by 1960s counterculture hero Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters. The band’s lineup included RatDog’s Jeff Chimenti and Dark Star’s John Kadlecik.

Furthur delivered its “goodbye” via the band’s website, Furthur.net.

“To our loyal Furthur fans and members of the Furthur community at furthur.net, we’d like to thank you for a terrific ride.  We’ll be closing up shop at furthur.net, and heading onward.  Thanks for making the Furthur community a great place to hang out, and for coming out to the shows.  We’ll all be keeping very busy over the foreseeable future, and it’s time to let Furthur take a bow.  We enjoyed the ride more than we can possibly express.  You can keep tabs on Phil’s activities at www.TerrapinCrossroads.net, Bob’s activities at www.BobWeir.net and all Grateful Dead news at www.Dead.net.”
