The Devout

A Depeche Mode tribute show by The Devout, a UK act, staged at the Electric Ballroom in Camden. The evening draws on the band's catalogue, performed by musicians with projects of their own.

The Devout is a UK tribute act devoted to the music of Depeche Mode, so this is a tribute performance rather than an appearance by the original group. The members are musicians with other projects of their own: Reza Udhin has worked with Killing Joke, Inertia and Black Volition, Keith Trigwell with Speak & Spell and Form, and Barclay Quarton with The Doors Experience.

The show reproduces Depeche Mode songs faithfully, combining hits and fan favourites with visuals that recall the band's earlier, inventive tours. The programme also marks the 40th anniversary of the album Black Celebration. Alan Wilder of Depeche Mode has publicly encouraged people to see the act, and the BBC has called it the best Depeche Mode tribute band in the UK.

The evening is aimed at admirers of Depeche Mode's music. Electric Ballroom is a concert and performance venue at 184 Camden High Street, London NW1 8QP.
