The highlight of the Echo Awards in Berlin, Germany is Depeche Mode first official performance of their new single “Wrong” from their upcoming 12th studio album Sounds Of The Universe. The official video for the single is in the works and directed by Patrick Daughters. Album is to be release April 21st in US, and a day or two earlier in Europe.

If you are from New York City, or have ever visited New York City, I think you will appreciate Christoph Niemann’s latest blog.
