Electro rules

2009 is set to be a brilliant year for electronic music fans. The Pet Shop Boys' long awaited new album "YES" is out in less than three weeks and Depeche Mode's new album is out in late April.

While a new generation of fans is currently enjoying a cover version of DM's "Just can't get enough" by The Saturdays, a real electronic legend is back out in force and ready to give it their all: ULTRAVOX is touring soon and they will be also playing a homecoming in Glasgow to which I already have tickets!!

Good times!!
