home / news / main Martin set to DJ in Berlin November 5th, 2004 Martin will be DJ'ing at "Cookies", in Berlin, Germany. Also on the bill are Miss Kitten, Gudrun Gut and Thomas Fehlmann (performing live). The event will be on November 8th, at 11pm. Sadly, it is an "invite-only" event. There will be no general admission. Martin & Gwen September 1st, 2004 Gwen Stefani (of No Doubt) is currently finishing up her first solo project. Martin contributed some guitar work to one of the songs, which has the working title of "It's A Wonderful Life". There is no word if this title will stay with the song, or if Martin's work will stay on the project. Stay tuned... Martin set to DJ in London August 12th, 2004 As originally announced by "Client A" on the Toast Hawaii message board, Martin is tentatively set to DJ at the next "Being Boiled" night at the Notting Hill Arts Center in London, on Tuesday, August 17th.

Martin Collaborates with Client June 15th, 2004 When Fletch was visiting Martin in March, he played Martin some Client demos. Martin particularly liked a track called "Overdrive", and ended up singing some backing vocals on it. Fletch was particularly struck by how well Martin' voice went with Sarah's. "Overdrive" will feature on Client's next album, entitled "City", due for release on the 6th of September. Look for sound samples closed to the release date.

FCC Crackdown March 31st, 2004 (updated April 1st, 2004) Due to some people not taking the time to read the text under this "news" feature, we will stress again that this was an APRIL FOOLS DAY prank. Due to the recent breast-baring incident by Janet Jackson, and Bono's use of a vulgarity on the CBS network, the FCC have now gone to the next step in securing the airwaves from indecent material. The FCC have now started a serious retroactive crackdown on indecent lyrics. Unfortunately, Depeche Mode are one of the first bands to be victims of this. A number of tunes, including fan favorites such as "Personal Jesus", "Sea Of Sin" and "I Want You Now" (all written by Martin L. Gore) have effectively been banned from U.S. airwaves. Martin could not be reached for comment. When we have more details on this, we will spread the news. April 1st update: APRIL FOOLS! The story above is a joke. Thanks to all the fans (and radio stations) for their emails regarding this prank. Holiday Greeting December 24th, 2003 Martin, along with Dave and Fletch, have recorded a special Holiday Greeting.
