Richard Lloyd Group & Fur Dixon
October 20th at 8pm
Richard Lloyd is a legendary electric guitarist, singer/songwriter and founding member of Television, a band that rose to fame with their 1977 debut release, Marquee Moon, widely regarded as one of the greatest albums in rock and roll history and perhaps the most defining and highly influential release of the 1970’s New York rock scene. Lloyd embarked on a solo career after Television disbanded, releasing seven solo albums and working as a guitarist, session musician and band member with Matthew Sweet, John Doe, Rocket from the Tombs and more. Released in October 2017, Lloyd’s book, Everything Is Combustible: Television, CBGB’s and Five Decades of Rock and Roll: The Memoirs of an Alchemical Guitarist, establishes Lloyd as a masterful storyteller and humorous and insightful writer with an acerbic and razor-sharp wit.
Fur Dixon started her music career as a young, wild rock ‘n’ roll bass player for The Whirlybirds, playing on her first 7″ single at 21 years of age. Following that, she formed the Hollywood Hillbillys, one of the only bands in history that counted live on-stage chickens amongst their band mates. Legendary psychobilly band The Cramps became fans of Fur and spirited her away and off to Europe where she became the first bassist of The Cramps live lineup. Known for keeping a solid, hypnotic rhythm, rocking that fur-lined bra and the famous bunny tail, Fur exuded smoldering sexual energy onstage while playing somewhere around 60 shows on the band’s Date With Elvis tour. Despite The Cramps asking her to remain as their permanent fourth member, Fur declined and left the band following the final show of the UK/EU tour.
