The History of Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode took their first steps in
1979 as French Look, founded by
Vince Clarke, Robert Marlow, and
Martin Gore. Shortly after,
Andrew Fletcher joined the band. They borrowed their current name from a French fashion magazine and focused on synthesizers and vocals. Their first single, "Dream of Me," was released in early 1981. Their music struck a chord at the time, as synthesizer music was becoming increasingly popular in the UK. In 1981, they left the island for the first time to tour Europe. However, Vince Clarke left the band the same year to pursue other projects. The band saw more lineup changes and stylistic evolution, leading to further records.
The LP MUSIC FOR THE MASSES was released in 1987, and the name was fitting. During the subsequent promotional tour, Depeche Mode played
101 concerts, which were documented by filmmaker
D.A. Pennebaker. Depeche Mode also performed in East Berlin during this tour. In 1993 and 1994, the band faced addiction problems and internal conflicts, resulting in departures and rehab stints. Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, and Andrew Fletcher continued to make music that resonated positively with fans. The band received numerous awards for their albums and singles. At a
benefit concert in 2010 in London, Depeche Mode shared the stage with their former member Alan Wilder. Other former members have also participated in various projects. The
most recent tour ended in 2018 at the Berlin Waldbühne.
