WTF are they!?

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 16, 2006, 9:42 AM
Electro-synth band from Essex who went on to sell over 73 million records, break the US market and become stadium friendly rock gods. They have a fanatical following worldwide and have successfully overcome near death experiences.


Here is something you should definitely know about Depeche Mode:

* Who would have thought that the world's most successful electro-synth band would have come from Basildon, Essex!

* They got their name from a French style magazine, which translates as Fast Fashion.
During their career they've been variously described as New Wave, Gothic, Dance, Pop and Rock.

* Founder member Vince Clark left the band after the release of their debut album to form Yazoo and then Erasure.

* Their 1988 record-breaking show in Pasadena came out as a live album and film, titled '101' after the number of gig dates.

* "Enjoy the Silence" won Best Single at the Brit Awards in 1991. (writen by M.G.)

* Due to a heroin overdose, Dave Gahan clinically died for several minutes in 1996 before making a miraculous recovery.

* The 2005 album Playing The Angel was the first to feature any songs written by Dave Gahan.

    Do you really think strange would give up Dave and pass him to me?! Not only she wants Dave, she wants Martin as well. That girl's greedy when it comes to DM.
    But we all know that Dave is Martin's favorite slave :love: And Dave wrote a song called "I need you" to Martin ;p
