At any New Wave City event, you can expect a cool crowd of knowledgeable New Wave music fans from various ages and walks of life, who come together to dance, socialize and celebrate the music of their lives. Each event features a tribute to one of the seminal acts of the period, such as Depeche Mode, The Smiths, The Cure, New Order, Siouxsie and the Banshees, etc. You’ll hear songs from the featured artist throughout the evening as well as the rest of the best of New Wave. Visuals from Altered Images (AKA Skip) include vintage video, ’80s movies and TV, slide shows with images of ’80s icons, street posters and club flyers from 1979-1984, and original concert photos to round out the experience.
For this installment of New Wave City, enjoy a music and video history of Depeche Mode in two rooms:
THE MUSIC FOR THE MASSES ROOM features the best of 80’s Depeche Mode in music & videos plus dancing to the rest of the best of New Wave with your hosts & DJ’s Skip, Shindog, & Low-Life. THE VIOLATOR ROOM features 90’s and beyond Depeche Mode plus New Wave B-sides & rarities with special guest DJ’s: Melting Girl (Death Guild) & Tomas Diablo (Strangelove).
