Never saw Fortus with short hair before - he looks totally different! Still rocks though - Love Spit Love had some good songs...

Richard like like a teenager! How young was he there?

I remember that song! Sounds like Psychadelic furs gone acoustic.

He doesn't look that much younger. It's just your not used to seeing him with short hair, and long hair (what he has now) makes you look older.

Yeah, me too!

And guess who plays the drums: Frank Ferrer.

Love Spit Love by Love Spit Love
Love Spit Love: Richard Butler (vocals); Richard Fortus (guitar, cello, mandolin); Tim Butler (bass); Frank Ferrer (drums).
Additional personnel: Eric Schermerhorn (acoustic guitar); Jon Brion (piano, chamberlin, optigon).
Recorded at Eldorado Studios, Los Angeles, California from January to March 1994.
Almost fifteen years after the Psychedelic Furs' hybrid of punk assault and melodic rhythms first hit the New Wave market, Richard Butler is back with a new band, Love Spit Love.
Those accustomed to Butler's rasping attacks on modern life will find Love Spit Love a natural extension of his musical vision. Really, Love Spit Love is only one step removed from the Furs. With brother Tim Butler still on bass, the main difference between the two bands is the emphasis on guitar. While in the Furs, Butler was forced to write songs exclusively with the bass; now with guitarist Richard Fortus, Butler's scope has broadened.
The difference in sound is significant. Moments on LOVE SPIT LOVE find the band sounding more like Camper Van Beethoven than their old, former selves. Opening with "Seventeen"--where Butler admits, "I can't believe it's been so long"--LOVE SPIT LOVE is the maturing of a songwriter and an honest admission of the passage of time.

I love his style and always was most excited over his possible work in the band.  He should be lead IMO, fink could do a lick here and there but Rich will always be my fav.

He goes nut on guitar at the end. That's my favourite one.
