 Gavin Rosdale with His Wife
Bush lead guitarist Nigel Pulsford, who exited in 2002, is back as producer, arranger and occasional guitarist for UK alt-rock outfit Furlined. The band issued its debut album, "Love Comes in Canisters," in the UK in April, and is now playing British clubs.
Bristol-based Furlined was formed by Pulsford's longtime friend, singer/songwriter Neil Crossley, and classically trained cellist Tegan Thomas in 2004, subsequently adding bassist Graham Dalzell and drummer Greg White.
Despite having a producer whose band's US sales are close to 11 million albums, Crossley found record company interest hard to attract. "I did approach a couple," he says, "but the people I contacted were so negative."
As a result he set up his own label, Concave, and is also handling the band's management and booking.
"To give yourself a chance in this business, you need to be obsessive," Pulsford says. "When we started Bush, Gavin and I worked so hard -- that's what Neil's had to do too."
Rossdale, meanwhile, released his debut solo album "Wanderlust" last week.
