Dave Gahan — Hourglass

Go figure that after the well-deserved pomp and bombast of the last Depeche Mode tour, their singer would want to put out a solo album on a smaller, more self-reflective scale. On Gahan's second effort (2003's largely ignored Paper Monsters was the first), the only songs that would be at home on a Depeche album would be "Kingdom" and...

Dave Gahan — Paper Monsters/Martin Gore — Counterfeit 2

Depeche Mode's split-ups, near-suicides and attempts to turn into a band playing "real" instruments have led us to where we are now — Dave Gahan and Martin Gore solo records. Gahan's best moment is the cautionary "Bottle Living," which would be fine if it wasn't for the eye-rolling melodrama. The plodding mid-tempo-ness of...

I Read The News Today... For May 9, 2011

The Trews are opening for Kid Rock this summer. It might not seem like east coast hard rock would go with southern rap rock, but this actually makes perfect sense in our brains. D-Sisive and Muneshine are working on a gangsta rap album as The Birthday Boys. Consider this advanced warning. Check out the godawful cover art for Limp Bizkit's new...

Dave Gahan: A Question Of Time

The voice of Depeche Mode doesn't look back in anger Time is a funny thing, especially when you're a musician.
