Celebrated ‘80s band hits The Queen for one of its select 2016 performances In the 1980s, Philadelphia-based rock band Beru Revue rode roughshod through the tristate area, reveling in the fun of countless weekends playing at the Stone Balloon and Bottle and Cork, among other nightlife destinations and venues. New wave rock was on the rise, and Beru Revue, together with fellow rockers like the Hooters and Robert Hazard, ruled the Philly rock scene. The original six-man lineup debuted at Grendel’s Lair in Philadelphia in 1981. They had a strong and loyal local following, with one notable radio hit, “Hoods A Go-Go.” The band disbanded in 1988, but luckily for band members and their cult following, in the early 2000s the group began reuniting for a handful of shows each year. In keeping with tradition, they will perform at World Cafe Live at The Queen on Saturday, April 23. After 10 years of reunion shows in Philadelphia at World Cafe Live, the Electric Factory and The Ardmore Music Hall, lead singer Bob Beru says the band is thrilled to head to Wilmington and The Queen. “It comes at a time in our evolutionary process when we are embracing more and more of our theatrical tendencies,” Beru says. “For us in many ways the future is a visit to our newly flowering roots.” Beru Revue currently performs approximately three shows a year: one during the fall, a Christmas benefit show and a spring show. All are filled with seasonal content as well as a solid dose of core vignettes, Beru says. “The music is original but we have been known to take fun standards and bend them to our will.” The April 23 show is titled The Miracle of Spring, from the band’s album and title song of the same name. Besides Beru himself, the band features guitarists Greg Davis and Mark Julian Teague, bassist Jerry Getz, drummer Tommy Pinto, keyboardist EJ Simpson and the support vocals of Nita Slater. Beru says the group is excited to tap into the band’s theatrical roots and perform old and new songs in “true Beruvian form.” Doors open at 7 and the show starts at 8 p.m.; tickets are $20-$25.
