TFF tour news
Posted on November 12th, 2009 at 8:47am
In an interesting turn of events that involved 1 - Roland being friends with them and 2 - much less time away from family, we will now be special guests of Spandau Ballet on their Australia/NZ tour in April next year:
April 17th Perth, Caversham Sandalford Winery
April 19th Adelaide, Entertainment Centre
April 21st Melbourne, Rod Laver
April 23rd Sydney, Entertainment Centre
April 24th Newcastle, Entertainment Centre
April 27th Brisbane, Entertainment Centre
April 29th Auckland, Vector Arena
A few SE Asia dates will be added to these over the course of the next week, either alone or with SB.
Peace and love
Papa S.

Well jeze Louise you guys it's not a competition to see which band has the most fans. I happen to like Spandau Ballet and Tears For Fears.

Gald you guys are at it again. I'm really glad to have seen you in Seattle and Portland last summer. If I had unlimited funds it would be TFF down under for me! (Does that sound dirty?) If you happen to need a pre show yoga instructor, or wardrobe gal, or possibly someone to scout out some good wine, or someone to take over tweeting responsibilities while you're onstage, I can make myself available. I kid. Well, sort of..
;p

Alright, who saw Modern Family this week? All about Spandau Ballet - with an appearance from their "bassist" Izzy LaFontaine - played by Edward Norton!!! Unbelievable!!!! What are the odds that they get featured on this show of all times??!!!!! Best line: "You're not a fandau!!!" I was dying. Great mention of OMD also!!!

timelessgirl - girl, got you've covered buddy.... and I love your t-shirt idea for the group. KROOKs - nice job timelessgirl, way to get both kooks and Roland fans in one name... Hope Curt likes it. Here's hopin' for a great time to be had for next summer.
Hey Papa S.! oh, oh, oh, I know you are working on some new solo tunes... [pant..] can't wait. Is there any new music in the mix from TFF. Yeah, that would be great!!! Fingers crossed for next year. Roland and Curt... you're more than an addiction. just sayin'
Crzy KOOK - that's me

F/Y/I- Spandau Ballet is a great band and i meant no disrespect when I said TFF should get top billing, I am like a mother cheering on her child, I simply cheer the loudest for Curt and Roland. LOL. But Spandau has their fans to and I think it will be a really fun tour. I wish I could go to this one. Here's to a safe, fun tour in Australia boys!

Curt's KOOK (or shall I say KROOK?) lol

I hope that the tour is a smashing success, so much so that we get this double bill in the US. I think a super tour could be had with these two great bands together. I'll take it either way....Spandau Ballet/Tears For Fears, or Tears For Fears/Spandau Ballet. Either one sounds good to me.

...someone wake me up on August 1st...Traci, maybe you could do this for a friend?? Not sure how else I'm gonna get thru the winter and spring...and that dream i had a few days ago about being at a TFF concert? Well, believe it or not I went back stage (in my dream) before the show looking for "our boys" and ended up falling asleep!!! when I awoke they were just finishingthe last song of the concert!!! and I was heartbroken ...this IS a very deep psychological dream!!!

Am I the only person who saw the word "If"?
I guess I am just another wet blanket, but I just don't count the chicks before the eggs are hatched.
That way I don't get disappointed.
Agreeing to do something and having it set in stone are two different things.
I hope TFF does play again in the US. But I will believe it when the tickets go on sale.
Just saying.....

Personally, I don't care if TFF performs in Australia, or Africa, or in Asia, or even in Antartica, I'm just happy that they are STILL performing after all of these years. If they end up performing next year in a place that I am unable to go to, so be it.....at least they are STILL out there. I'm not going to whine as long as they are still doing what they do, no matter where it is.

I fact-checked about SB, and yes, they had quite a few hits in the UK, even more than TFF, so now I understand the billing. This gets me thinking; if this pairing tours the US, the billing could be swapped, with TFF at the top. A nice trade-off.

Hey stephen_kohlmann, I'll give you that... and see where you are coming from. No biggie. We just all enjoy TFF. It"s more than addiction!! hahaha

Oh God, please, don't think I was giving props to SB...far from it! I, personally, never cared for SB, in fact I've been known to groan profusely whenever I hear "True" come on over any PA system within earshot, but that's just my own personal taste. I just felt compelled to share things I learned about SB from Wikipedia and CNN to put the pairing into context. I figure it's good sportsmanship to be impartial every now and then.
