Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode are a popular electronic band formed in 1980 in Essex, England. They are one of the longest-lived and most successful bands to have emerged from the New Romantic and New Wave era; they were part of the 'futurist' scene, alongside the likes of Soft Cell, OMD, The Human League and Gary Numan.  As of 2006, it was estimated that Depeche Mode had sold over 91 million records (56 million albums / 35 million singles) worldwide and have had forty-four songs in the UK Singles Chart. They have had more top 40 hits in the UK without a #1 hit than any other artist. They have influenced many of today's popular recording artists, in part due to their recording techniques and innovative use of sampling. Although very influential in the modern electronic dance scene, they generally remain classified in the alternative genre.  See Depeche Mode LIVE!  Purchase your Depeche Mode tickets today!
