DEPECHE MODE FEVER!
Fans of Depeche Mode won’t know what to with themselves this month! Not
only have local band
Weak 13
(featured on page 6) just released their
fantastic cover of Halo, but The Robin 2 in Bilston host Germay’s finest,
Remode
, on the 17th of this month (see page 36). As if this wasn’t enough
to get The Black Swarm creaming their knickers, The Eden Bar in Sherlock
Street, Birmingham host their annual F+D3 Faith & Devotion night on Friday
18th featuring 6 hours of non stop Depeche Mode from 3 devoted Dj’s in the
form of
Chris Hayden, Pandora Rox

black slacks out.
GIFF-FEST 2017
For the rock and hardcore fans amongst you, The Giffard Arms in Wolves
hosts its annual Giff-Fest on Sunday 27th of this month. Bands on the line-
up include The Bad Flowers, Theia, Rock Revolver, White Tyger, Ryders
Creed, Voodoo Sioux, Pörk, Mallen and Tyrannosaurus Nebulous to name
just a few of the great bands playing. There are food and booze stalls and
wristbands priced at just a fiver are available on the door of The Giffard Arms
on the day. It runs from midday until 3am and funds raised go to Compton
Hospice - a charity very dear to my heart and I’m sure to many of you too.
