Tears For Fears 2010 Summer Tour News
Tears For Fears is kicking off their 16-city tour on Aug. 12th at Detroit's MotorCity Casino and wrapping things up on Sept. 5th at The National in Richmond. Highlights from the tour include the House of Blues in Boston and Atlantic City on Aug. 16th and 20th, respectively; Rams Head Live! in Baltimore on Aug. 24; and the Fillmore in Charlotte, N.C. on Aug. 27th.
Tears For Fears, or TFF, began in England in the early 1980s after Roland Orzabel and Curt Smith, then teenagers, played first in a band called Neon and later in Graduate. Graduate had minor success after one album, though Orzabel and Smith later left to form their own band, History of Headaches, which later became Tears For Fears.
They were soon signed to the Phonogram Records label and released two singles, both of which were not successful. Their first glimpse at fame came after their third single "Mad World" and their first album, The Hurting. Their big break came in 1985 with their second album, Songs from the Big Chair. It featured songs that remain some of TFF's biggest hits: "Mother's Talk," "Shout," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," "Head Over Heels" and "I Believe (A Soulful Re-Recording)."
Four years and several world tours passed before TFF released another album, The Seeds of Love. Like their last album, it was also wildly popular, especially the singles "Sowing the Seeds of Love" and "Woman in Chains," which featured Phil Collins on the drums.
In 1991, Orzabel and Smith went separate ways and began solo careers with Orzabel still recording under the name Tears For Fears. TFF went on to release Elemental (1993) and Raoul and the Kings of Spain (1995) before the recording contract was not renewed.
Nearly ten years after the split between Smith and Orzabel, they reunited and began the songwriting process again. The result was their latest release: Everybody Loves a Happy Ending (2004).
