New Haven rock ‘n’ roll legends The Furors play Best Video Film & Cultural Center on Sat., June 21. The show starts at 7 PM and the cover is $10. Furors performances are somewhat rare these days—it's been over a year since they have played out—so every one is a joyous occasion.
Comprised of guitarist Derek Holcomb and drummer Tom Dans—Holcomb sings lead and Dans harmonizes—The Furors have been playing together for almost five decades. They have self-released numerous vinyl 45s, a vinyl LP and several compact discs. Their catalog is so beloved among local musicians that a tribute album, “Let’s Get Furious,” was released in 2003 featuring 38 Furors songs covered by 38 local musicians and groups.
The Furors’ music is joyful, quirky three-minute pop, like a cross between They Might Be Giants and early British Invasion rock ‘n’ roll.
