'''Depeche Mode''' are an English electronic rock band formed in [[wikipedia:Basildon|Basildon]], [[wikipedia:Essex|Essex]]. Through a constant evolution in their musical output and a consistent touring ethic that saw the band graduate from performing school gigs to playing the legendary [[1988-06-18 Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA, USA|concert for the masses]] at the Pasadena Rose Bowl to an audience in excess of 60,000 people within ten years of their formation, Depeche Mode have built a cult following of devoted fans and metamorphosed into one of the most influential and successful alternative musical acts of all time over the course of their four decade career.
