RB:David, you're back in Los Angeles. How long you gonna be here for?
DG:Uhhhmm, I've got about a month's break.
RB:And then it's back to London for more recording?
DG:Um no, we're going t' go to New York for a while..um...and then back to London, and then back to New York. But we've, we've like recorded three songs, roughly, and it's really different, but it's...Alan left of course so we...we've brought in Tim Simenon andhe's really good, um... We were in...
RB:From Living Color, right?
DG:And he played with us and stuff and Gozer as well, the drummer from Soul II Soul...um...We usually love [or something like that] the musicians in this band. And me and Martin are getting on really well, and Fletch, um. I, I want thank, while we've got the chance, everybody that sent me letters, um after, um I did what I did, which was very silly. Um, but um it was it, was amazing it made me feel a lot better and um, back to the record biz. We hope to get it, be out in October, you know, it's really good Richard.
RB:I can't tell you how many calls I get a week asking A. how you doing, how's the band doing, and when can they get something from you. I mean people really love you still.
DG:Well, I'll tell you what. One thing I can say about the stuff we're recording, it's Depeche Mode fans, fans like, it's like what they understand about Depeche Mode, it's in the bedroom with their headphones on, crying your eyes out.
RB:Heh heh.
DG:And when do you think we can, uhhh, get something from you, actually on CD.
DG:As soon as I get, get something mixed I'll be in your office.
RB:Are you gonna be up for a tour?
DG:I don't think, we've got no plans at the moment, maybe a few little shows here and there, but the tour took it's toll on us all, a lot. Um, and we decided to, with this record, to do something different, do different ways of letting people know about our record, and um, [we've all got] families, things going on, you know.
RB:Yeah, now with shows like this, with all the bands together, would you consider doing one of these?
DG:Yeah, [I think] something like this could be cool.
RB:Like the Weenie Roast in June?
DG:I'm not saying nothing. I've got to go Richard.
RB:All right David.
DG:I, I'll talk to you again though.
