- It sounds familiar: British band invades U.S., and fans go
- wild. The latest rave is a techno-pop foursome called DEPECHE
- MODE (from the title of a French magazine, it means, loosely,
- "hurry-up fashion"). Cult favorites for nearly a decade, they
- have now entered America's mainstream with the bittersweet
- songs on their hit album Violator and are on a smash 31-city
- tour. The group -- DAVE GAHAN, MARTIN GORE, ANDY FLETCHER and
- ALAN WILDER -- has an unwritten rule, says Wilder, that "nobody
- is allowed to be pretentious." Heard that before too.
