The Psychedelic Furs / The Church Co-Headlining Tour

Not only did The Psychedelic Furs receive lots of chart love via several hit singles but the band’s music was a popular choice for motion picture soundtracks.  Of course, the “Pretty In Pink” matchup is the most obvious, but other cross-media appearances included  “Love My Way” landing on the soundtrack for 1983’s “Valley Girl” and showing up in 1998’s “The Wedding Singer.” TV was also good to The Psychedelic Furs with the band’s music appearing on “Glee,” “Hung,” “Cold Case” and other programs.

The Church will be touring in support of its 25th album – Further/Deeper – released in North America in February.  The band’s “Under The Milky Way” has made frequent appearances on television programs, including “Prison Break,” “The O.C.,” and “Rage.”  The song also appeared on the soundtrack for the 2001 flick, “Donnie Darko.”
