Solo Celebration

Reported by ben

Many may be wondering what Dave Gahan has been up to while Depeche Mode bandmate Martin Gore has been finishing up his second solo album (it's called Counterfeit2 and features covers of tunes by some of the greatest songwriters pretty much ever and arrives April 29). To appease your curiosity, Mr. Gahan has been busy preparing his own solo effort called Paper Monsters. It's set for shelves in June and he'll be promoting it with some European tour dates (which will appear if you hit more). The album has been co-written with Knox Chandler and produced by Ken Thomas (who produced a little album called ( ) by Sigur Ros). Expect something happy.
