Depeche Mode and Mute confirmed the second “Sounds…” single pick today in a press release posted to the band’s official website. No mention of remixes or any other content specific information, so they are obviously saving the juicy bits for later.

*** The news paper reports were mostly wrong *** Press from different parts of South America have been reporting a number of Tour Of The Universe dates, which include stops in Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Argentina and Brazil, and will take place from September 29th till October 20th. We cannot stress enough that we’ve not been able to get these dates confirmed (except the already announced Mexico dates), but check them, and the press reports after the jump.
BBC Radio 2 host Chris Evans presented the single mix of “Peace” today, as part of his radio show. The slightly revamped version was presented as Depeche Mode’s new single, suggesting that the second “Sounds…” single might indeed hit radios and clubs very soon. The presentation (and track) can be heard via BBC’s iPlayer if you’re in the UK. Folks outside the UK will like have to wait a bit. The single is hitting store shelves June 15th.
We’re slowly, but surely getting in gear for the upcoming Depeche Mode tour, and thought it’d be a good idea to bring some what the other stuff fans out there will be hearing at the shows to your attention. First up is the fantastic Motor, with “Death Rave” - they first single from the forthcoming album, “Metal Machine”. It’s a stunning track, and having seen Motor live a fair few times, I can assure you, they are an absolutely fantastic live band. You can check out audio, and a live clip after the jump!

Depeche Mode just finished playing their first public live performance in three years. The free show - part of which will be shown on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! - took place smack dab in the middle of Hollywood Blvd, and drew crowds exceeding 14.000 by some estimates. The band performed a total of seven songs… setlist (and thus spoiler) after the jump! If you want to read the live TWITTER FOR THE MASSES feed, you can do so HERE!
