We’ve been doing this party for quite some time and somehow we’ve neglected one of our favorite bands. That’s why when we found out Depeche Mode’s Violator was about to turn 25 years old (!) we knew it would finally be time for us to throw a Depeche Mode-themed Feeling Gloomy.
We are always playing lots of Depeche Mode and always playing lots of dark synthpop so this has been long coming, but we’re not just going to play the hits, we’ll dig deep too, and play the best of similar folks like Heaven 17, Bronski Beat, Fad Gadget, Ultravox, and Visage (R.I.P. Steve!). So prepare yourselves…
25 YEARS VIO-LATER
(Feeling Gloomy celebrates 25 years of Depeche Mode’s classic LP)
+ Lipsync contest: whoever does the best job of being faux-Dave Gahan can score some Depeche Mode vinyl
+ Feast on a homemade Depeche Mode cake. It’ll be the Sweetest Perfection.
+ Your hosts DJs Gordon and Nathaniel Gloom playing heaps of Depeche Mode, along with the usual lot of synthpop, britpop, and depressingly danceable anglophilic classics
