The alternative band from England consists of Andrew Fletcher, David Gahan, Martin Gore and Alan Wilder. Their recently released ninth album, Violator, has catapulted the group's popularity and has left the band skeptical about their Top 40 success. "The success can disappear as quickly as it came. We will not change our approach to adapt to radio format," Wilder said. In the past, Depeche Mode wondered if they would ever break in the United States. The band spent time playing small clubs and didn't think they would get much further than that. Though the band has now found American success, they are still finding it difficult to break in Australia. In hopes of duplicat ing their American triumph, the group will play their first concert Down Under later in the year. Many might wonder what has allowed an elec tronic band like Depeche Mode to survive in such a cut-throat industry for so long? Wilder feels that the Jorge Alvarez band's emphasis on their songs is what has kept The members of Depeche Mode field questions at a press conference in Orlando's new Hard Rock Cafe. them together. concert-goers thought it odd that two different bands Martin Gore, the group's lyricist, said that when like Depeche Mode and Nitzer Ebb would tour to he is writing he doesn't really have any specific gether, but it turns out the two groups are not only intentions about a song's meaning, but prefers to labelmates, but good friends as well.
