Casual in Istanbul

It's over again...after months of waiting with excitement it ended in almost two hours.17,000 Turkish fans shouted , sang the songs , waved hands...No need for fancy words this is Depeche Mode and they were great as they always be.The show was at one of the greatest spots of Istanbul : between Bosphorus and the trees. The atmosphere was great(we don't want to mention the Organisation Company sucked).Oh god it's too hard to wait for another five years.

Depeche Mode Concert in Istanbul will be on this Sunday...we're extremely happy and impatient. We got our backstage passes and ready to meet the band!Till then a tribute to Depeche Mode...a hottie singing Somebody...he is a real eye candy...just ignore the guitar skills and voice ;)

Johan Lindeberg , creative director of 21st Century lifestyle brand J.Lindeberg has designed Dave Gahan's stage clothing which Dave is wearing throughout Depeche Mode's Playing the Angel World Tour , music videos and press appearences.The designs include sharp suits , waistcoats , t-shirts , shirts and belts and feature exclusive graphic prints inspired by Dave Gahan's tattoos.

In addition , Dave together with Alison Mosshart of The Kills are the new faces of the J.Lindeberg 21st Century Statements campaign for spring-summer 2006 , shot by photographer Steven Klein.

Dave has recently celebrated his 45th birthday and he's still one of the hottest guys on the planet. We're hoping to see him in(and hopefully out of) his J.Lindebergs at the end of July in Istanbul...

Depeche Mode's added new dates to their Touring the Angel 2005/2006...and Istanbul's one of the new additions...YAY! After 4 years ; Exciter Tour we're again gonna enjoy them in Kurucesme Arena. The Arena is a breath-taking place situated near the Bosphorus with a spectacular Istanbul view. Can't hardly wait till July 30th...well actually waiting for DM is a pain that we're used to..!

'Precious' is the addictive first single from Depeche Mode's eagerly anticipated eleventh studio album 'Playing The Angel'. The single is released October 3rd on Mute and the album follows on October 17th.Written by Martin Gore and produced by Ben Hillier (of Doves and Blur fame) the new single is quintessential Depeche Mode with a kinetic hook, hypnotic vocals and a glorious chorus.

Yeah...they're back.After 4 years they're gonna feed us with their music again. We listened "Precious" illegaly in early August and we really loved that song.

Things get damaged/Things get broken/I thought we'd manage/But words left unspoken/Left us so brittle/There was so little left to give...
