Motor on tour with Depeche
Motor supports Depeche Mode
American/French electronic duo Motor have been hired as support act for 20 of the upcoming Depeche Mode shows in Europe.
Depeche Mode’s world tour, which runs from May 2009 through February 2010, will stop in more than 25 countries. The band will release their new album, Sounds of the Universe, in April.
Their remix of “Precious” was highly appreciated by Martin Gore and a Motor song was part of the pre-concert music during the last Depeche Mode tour.
– Well this time, instead of one track on a mixtape, we’re getting the real deal!, Motor’s Bryan Black says
Berlin label Shitkatapult will deliver the third Motor album late this summer, preceded by single “Death Rave”. Remixes for Acidkids and Kanye West are also to be expected.
Browse the On Record archives for our reviews of the first two Motor albums.
Ladytron are going to support Depeche Mode in Belgrad, Bukarest, Sofia und Zagreb.
