Hell. Yes. I've always heard that Depeche Mode is a thrilling live band, and since they're touring with lo-fi electro duo Crystal Castles, that gives you one more reason to pee-pee in your electro-loving pants. I figured DM was sure to spring a tour announcement on us at some point, but I didn't think it would come after just two weeks of dropping their latest album, Delta Machine. No complaints from this camp, though. After 16 world tours, I think they probably know what they're doing.
