Tears for Fears at the 9:30 Club

Yes, Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith — aka Tears for Fears — are still together. In fact, six years ago the ’80s hitmakers (“Everybody Wants To Rule The World,” “Shout,” Sowing The Seeds of Love”) regrouped to release a new set, Everybody Loves A Happy Ending. It may not have been a commercial success, but it was a splendid return to form, with stunningly complex music that channeled The Beatles (and David Bowie) more than ever before. Monday, Aug. 23. Doors at 7 p.m. Nightclub 9:30, 815 V St. NW. Tickets are $45. Call 202-265-0930 or visit 930.com.
