I’ve just received news that Mr. Martin L. Gore will be headlining a charity DJ gig on Saturday, May 7th! The gig will benefit Rockshop Academy. The academy provides lessons, classes, and recording and practice space for aspiring musicians in Santa Barbara, School of Rock style. The location is to be announced, but an official announcement should hit within a few days according to the event organizers. I’ll post the details as I receive them.

Smart planning! Devotees will already be swarming the area in support of Dave Gahan and MAP the night before, so why not follow up with another great opportunity to give back AND see amazing musicians? I may be playing a (small) role in this event.. stay tuned! Thankfully I just won an extra vacation day in the NCAA office pool. Yeah! Hope to see you all there!

Amanda is an enthusiastic, globe-trotting Mode fan who discovered the band in late 1998. Although she often feels like she got a late start in the Depeche Mode's career, she's survived nearly 20 years of the fandom, five new albums and multiple meetings with her love for the band intact (and stronger than ever). Amanda is a life-long creative, a classically trained graphic designer, working professionally as a User Experience Designer for one of the world's largest technology companies. When not at work or traveling for Depeche, she enjoys character illustration, comics, movies and Japanese Culture. And cats. Lots of Cats.

    I have been waiting since I was 13 to meet Martin. I am now 19 and was wondering if this event will be 21+ as all his other DJ gigs have been. Please let me now, thank you.

      Hi Nadia,

      I just tried to call the venue to see if there was an age limit on the show, but I got a recording. I’ll check with the organizers and get back to you! 🙂

      Hi, I’m sorry nobody got back to me in time! 🙁 I think it was 21+ when we got there.
