Tag: Curt Smith Birthday

Many Happy Returns Curt Smith!

It is 4 or 5 in the morning…it could be later and a few of us really have no idea. We’ve been pre-gaming and partying, celebrating Curt Smith since 1:15pm yesterday! It’s Curt’s Birthday! That means a ritual skittles shower and a big slice of Blum’s Coffee Crunch Cake! Recently Curt shared photos of he and his daughters attending what looked to be an animated red carpet event in every sense of the word for the movie Despicable Me 4. Rumour has it there’s a Tears for Fears treat in it. Let’s all make a plan to go see it!

We had a fun online party as mentioned. Here are the highlights!

In additional to celebrating Curt, we’re also excited about all the new music in the band camp literally and figuratively. Lauren’s new album will be released today. Be sure to BUY IT and STREAM IT! We’re doing both these days! As you can see, it is titled AFFIRMATIONS: BOOK ONE. We are looking forward to exploring this later today!

The Upside Down Clinic with Captain Julian and Jon Birch have new music as well. Their latest release is called Clowns. It’s perfect timing that this is out for so many reasons…we need not be specific, just look around the world. Absolute and unnecessary tomfoolery by the adults in charge. Soothe yourself with this one! This is how it looks on Bandcamp. This is also where we have been encouraged to support TUDC. So be sure to buy your copy and download. The full album will be released this year as well.

There have been some great videos and interviews. Doug Petty’s interview on The Keyboard Chronicles is out now – it’s episode 117.

The Korgis and Graduate star, John Baker, was interviewed by Dave Mason on Radio Bath and it was incredible! There was so much information packed into that afternoon. Be sure to listen in while it’s still available. Remember to join us on Fridays between 10am and 12pm ET/NYC time for the Radio Bath listening hour. We spend time online (Twitter/X) listening to the incredible Dave Mason and all his incredible guests plus shoutouts and frequent Tears for Fears tracks. It’s a fun time online and a great way to start the weekend!

Big shoutout to Dion Smith who is co-owner of a pretty sweet studio in Brasil. Keep us posted Dion! Can’t wait to see what’s up next. Congrats to all the musicians in fan land who are doing big things! We’ll chat at length in August for the quarterly update. Now let’s get back to the party! Coffee Crunch Cake and Skittles for everyone!

Cheers,

Happy Birthday Curt!!

We’ve been waiting’ for this day! We counted down, we got well so we could live to see the day, we worked out to be fit enough to party hard and we made it! We are with you Curt as you take this 60th turn around the sun!

While Curt is over in Italy lookin’ fine and fit as ever (We see you! Alright now!), fan pages have been jumpin’ all week with celebrations! Katie Sunflower got so excited she just threw her face in the cake! 

We ain’t mad at that – we get it! It got her 2nd place in our Curt Smith fun celebration fan fun! Speaking of cake, you all know that one of Curt’s favourites is the Blum’s Coffee Crunch Cake from Valerie Confections. That thing is KING! Click here to order one. We’re getting another this weekend. It’s worth every cent!

As mentioned, Curt is living his best life this week in Toscana, Italia, his home away from home. We’ve seen him on a fun run and his daughter also shared some blissful moments with her majestic Papa Smith. Don’t forget to download Diva’s new music. Subscribe to her YouTube channel, hit that like button on ‘Bet’ and be sure to follow her on Spotify!

While we can’t possibly fit every single birthday wish on the page because this would be an update that lasted for several days, we do want to draw attention to the beautiful Penny Dahl who went all out in one of her iconic album cover remakes. She didn’t know we were giving out prizes! She got first place and her gift card was sent this morning. Cheers Penny!

Shoutout to Sharon and her classroom of kids who helped her create a Happy Birthday Curt collage! Karla Amaya gets a high five from us as she has taken on the challenge of learning how to play ‘Pale Shelter.’ She did this in honour of Curt. Well done, Karla!

Aileen honoured Curt with this cool remake of him in Head over Heels. She’s even sporting Doc Martens! She knows what’s up!! She was also a winner today and received a cash bundle in her currency today! Congrats Aileen!

We enjoy celebrating 🥳 Curt’s birthday annually and one of our faves was in 2011 when we got to spend some time with him at Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks. This wonderful man even bought several fans dinner. What a phenomenal memory that stays with us and thank you Sheila “Sheeshee” for helping us get a chance to sing to him on stage. To say we love our dear Curt and his family is a huge understatement. We ADORE AND APPRECIATE Curt & The Smith-Pennington family to the NTH DEGREE!!

Speaking of love, what’s not to love about the many fans who rushed out at the crack of dawn on Saturday morning in the rain, humidity and stale Covid air to get to specific record stores for Tears for Fears Live at Massey Hall Vinyls! Darren, moderator of the TFF Fan Forum was the music magician this year! Much like Carri and team helped fans get copies of ‘Ready Boys n Girls,’ Darren made sure many were able to grab the limited Massey Hall masterpiece! Thank you, Darren!

Go out and get some cake, share Tears for Fears music with the world the rest of this week and right on through the weekend! Get copies of Halfway Pleased and Deceptively Heavy for your music collection! Let’s keep the Curt Smith celebration going! Honourable mentions to JT of Duran Duran who also turned 61 this week! Curt and JT go way back! Love that! And hey…if somebody asks us how old they are the response will be, “They’re 60 and SEXY AS F***!”

Cheers everyone!

Laissez lês bons temps rouler!!!

Long time fan, Danny Cricks shared his keepsake from Curt’s Soul on Board album in honour of Curt’s birthday!
