One of the great advantages to having a revival in a musical style is that the bands get back together again for another go around the world. No one knows 80s nostalgia better than Boston, with its thirst for any kind of history, even the recent past. Fans of Tears for Fears will get their chance to see them perform again in August at the House of Blues .
The House of Blues is one of 13 versions of a chain that was started, in part, by Dan Aykroyd. The one here has a terribly passionate following, and the discerning audiences of Boston are always a good gauge for what’s happening in the music world lately. It’s a favorite among the locals as well as their friends, coming in from out of town to stay in Boston’s hotels , and August will bring in a blast from the past.
Tears for Fears was one of the great synthesizer bands of the 80s, and they’ve kept a profile since that time, although it was never as high as it was during the advent of MTV. Their songs are perfect relics from the time, carrying a combination of happy beats along with a splendid dose of melancholy. The new mods can reunite again.
