Tears for Fears - Phoenix Tonight, Celebrity Theater

British rock band Tears for Fears is in Phoenix tonight at the Celebrity Theater. Tears for Fears (aka the duo of Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal) have created many fine pop songs over the years. You all know "Shout", "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", "Pale Shelter", "Woman in Chains" and others from their '80s heyday. (I was just playing "The Hurting" LP this weekend!) But even though the two split for awhile, they never really stopped playing music.

And when they got together a few years ago, Tears for Fears released a great CD called Everyone Loves a Happy Ending that I received an advance of but it went unreleased for a year afterwards. It had terrific Tears for Fears classic songs like "Closest Thing to Heaven" and "Call Me Mellow", which you can watch below, when the band played Conan a while back. Great chorus on this song.







If anyone's got an extra ticket and wants to treat me, I'm open...
