Happy 20 years birthday – S.P.O.C.K
Spent an evening with the old but very happy S.P.O.C.K crew. The event was held in conjunction with the monthly SpaceLab party held in Malmoe, Sweden. On the pic below you will see Mr. Android himself and the former band member Johan (can´t remember what he called himself …noid something I guess, hehe). Too bad Eddie B didn´t show up.
If you want to join future SpaceLab events – you will find them here >>
And of course an old SPOCK video, incl Eddie B:

Depeche Mode – back in the studio
The band met earlier this month, and agreed to hit the studio in March.
Martin’s been writing songs, and has already taken his new compositions into pre-production (ie. not just demos), working with Sie Medway-Smith in Martin’s home studio in Santa Barbara.
Dave has also been writing, although details of his progress are scarce.
EMI in Spain let slip that Mute are hoping to have the album ready at the end of this fiscal year, in time for Christmas. A tentative date of “late November” was circulated to retailers and media in Spain, via the IFPI owned operation Promusicae. Sources close to the band tells us to expect a tour to be announced some time in the early fall of 2008, with tickets going on sale in September or October. A tour would probably not start till early 2009, however.
