Depeche Mode: Live on Letterman

Today I am taking a break from my weekly New Wave posts to bring you guys some exciting news:

The pioneers of the punk rock and new wave era, Depeche Mode will be performing Live on David Letterman tonight.

Quick bio: DM (short for Depeche Mode) are an English electronic band (originally an electronic and new wave band), formed in 1980 is Basildon, Essex. The original group members were Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher, & Vince Clarke. Unfortunately Clarke left the band and Alan Wilder took over after they released their 1981 debut album, "Speak and Spell". Wilder also left by 1995 and Depeche Mode were officially a trio. To sum it up, they formed in 1980, went from being a group of four to a trio, and are still making records today. So far they've made and released twelve albums and their newest album, "Delta Machine", which features their new single "Heaven", is their latest project and it will be out in spring 2013. This will make it thirteen released albums.

According to http://depechemode.tumblr.com, the band will perform on "Live On Letterman" online at cbs.com and VEVO at March 11, 2013 (8:00 p.m. Eastern, 5:00 p.m. Pacific). Afterwards, they will make a rare U.S. TV appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman" that same night at 11:30 p.m. Eastern on CBS3.

Here are the links to watch the web cast. You may choose either one, although I prefer the use the first one:
