Week 9 from AXS TV's World’s Greatest Tribute Bands hosted by Katie Daryl at the Roxy in West Hollywood was Strangelove a tribute to the 80's electronic music
band Depeche Mode. After last week’s
heavy metal band the Iron Maidens, Strangelove was at the other end of spectrum
for rock music. Depeche Mode is much darker and subdue in their music. The
audience was also much more subdue other than one girl who danced the entire
show. If you saw the show, you know who
I am talking about. The cameramen were
filming her a lot throughout the night and talking about it afterwards.
The band is made up of Freddie Morales as "Devotional
Dave" Gahan. Brent Meyers as "Counterfit" Martin Gore. David
Sepe as "Alan Wildest" Wilder.
And Jake Jordan as Andy "InTheFletch" Fletcher
I have seen Depeche Mode several times over the years and it
was unbelievable how much Freddie sounded like Dave Gahan. Even on the replay at home while I was
processing the pictures from the show, I thought I was listening to the real
Depeche Mode. Brent also sounded just like Martin Gore.
If you are looking to get a warm up to the Depeche Mode
concert coming up at the end of the month or don't have the money for a concert, look up Strangelove’s tour schedule and go see them. You will not be disappointed.
