Rolling Stone has put up their review of last night's Soulsavers studio session with Dave Gahan that had Jonathan Kessler saying that the forthcoming Depeche Mode record is slated for an April 2013 release date. He also said that following this performance, Dave "is now fully immersed in his day job" with Depeche. Further one offs are possible, but we'll have to wait and see. Last night's seven song performance was recorded and, according to Kessler, will be available "quickly" for interested parties or the web. We shall see where it shows up. Nice to see Daniel Miller was in attendance as well.

Breaking News... This just in, Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet are having a battle of the bands tonight at the abandon Members Only wherehouse that is being judged by both King and Nik Kershaw! No, not really, but Soulsavers might be. I really just wanted to share a great photo of Dave and Rich (of Soulsavers) that was posted on Dave's official Facebook yesterday. A lot of you have seen it, but might not be familiar with it, so I thought I would share some basic info on it.
Amoeba is an amazing independent music store with locations in Hollywood, San Francisco, and Berkeley California...

Putting aside fact that they could have done a better job offering up a pair of tickets to the true fans, it seems the amazing Amoeba Music is giving away a pair of tickets to the secret Soulsavers gig with Dave Gahan on 7/21 in Hollywood. From the give away, it looks as if this secret gig will be a recording session for the prestigious KCRW and hopefully will be put out for all the fans to hear and maybe get their hands on. I guess giving tickets away through either DM or Soulsavers outlets might be too one sided, so a give away through a record store makes sense.... just sad the opportunity...

Ok, so Martyn LeNoble just tweeted out, "This one I won't delete.... I'm excited to play a "secret" show with the Soulsavers w/Dave Gahan this weekend." Wait, am I really posting about a Tweet? Is this what it's coming to? Yes. This upcoming album, tour, and everything else should be fun to keep up with, lol. Maybe I'm just getting old. Anyway, so since he's saying he won't be deleting this tweet about playing a show with Dave and the Soulsavers... it makes you wonder what are all the details. Is he just teasing us? Some sort of ploy to keep you interested in the record? Do we know and we're...

Fan sites were one thing back in the day, but dealing with social networking rumor explosions must be a nightmare for Depeche Mode's management or any bands management for that matter. Well it seems the speculation has hit a point that the bands manager, Jonathan Kessler, has released a statement regarding the much rumored 2013 tour dates. While he is confirming that the band will be hitting the road next year, he's not confirming anything else at this time. Regardless of what you know, think you know, who you know, or what you believe... this is what the band is saying.
"As you may have...
