Happy 64th Birthday to the absolute Legend of New wave that is Dave Gahan. Born on this day in Epping England, Gahan joined the band Composition of Sound along with Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher and Vince Clarke in 1980. Soon thereafter, they renamed themselves Depeche Mode and the rest is history...

Figured I should post my WIP new wave vest here!

Hopefully you guys get a kick out of it, I have a lot of ideas going forward but soon I'm gonna have to start commissioning custom patches. I've currently only worked on the front but pic 3 is my leading idea for the main back piece. Definitely hurting for some more American groups on it!

I'm trying to find the name of this 80s Russian band..

They kind of sounded like Orchestral manoeuvres in the dark and the lead singer was a man but sounded a bit feminine.

Do you know ??

Their big album was red I think featuring the lead singers face!

Velvet Ashes is a gothic punk / darkwave project from Japan.

This performance video captures the raw energy of our sound — somewhere between post-punk, darkwave, and industrial.

Inspired by the underground spirit of classic gothic and post-punk scenes, we aim to create dark, sharp, and emotional music that resonates beyond borders.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
