Since 2005, San Francisco's This Charming Band has performed the songs that saved your life for thousands of Smiths fans across the country, selling out venues all over the West Coast. We strive to make each show a celebration of unity in the love and appreciation of the music of The Smiths. It's not our music, it's all of our music, and as a band of super fans like you, we aim to perform it as respectfully and accurately as possible -- while doing our best to recreate the energy of those legendary live Smiths performances that we sadly can't get anymore. So come out, dance your legs down to the knees, and celebrate The Smiths with us!
The scale of Strangelove's theatrical stage production is unparalleled, save for the real article. Multiple projection visual programs assault the euphoric concertgoer’s senses and further the illusion that they are witnessing an actual Depeche Mode concert.
No detail of the band’s presentation has been overlooked. The visual presentation and in-show costume changes reflect different eras of D’Mode’s decades-spanning career. Audience members can revel in the seemingly impossible unfolding before their eyes and unbelieving ears. Strangelove delivers a career spanning, pitch perfect “best of” concert that transports the listener through time and touches on several key points in Depeche Mode’s illustrious career. Songs from throughout the Depeche canon are lovingly recreated; from favorites on DM’s debut Speak and Spell to the newest fare from Mode’s latest- 2009’s Sounds of the Universe.
This event is all ages.
