Description:
The ultimate Depeche Mode fan memoir. 2017 Finalist for the BookLife Prize.
Both an ode to the joy of music and a cautionary tale of obsession, Jenna Rose Robbins' coming-of-age adventure offers a glimpse into a subculture where unchecked fanaticism can lead to both euphoric and devastating consequences. The rock-and-roll memoir tells of Robbins' time following Depeche Mode on the 1993 Devotional tour, bringing readers face to face with the artists she idolized. Although often referred to as a new-wave music version of Almost Famous for its insight into the groupie subculture of one of the biggest British bands ever, the award-winning book will appeal to fans of any music genre.
In 2017, on the same day the book was released, Robbins was the first fan chosen for a year-long contest in which each winner took over Depeche Mode's Facebook page for a day. From this group of Takeoverees, six fans were chosen to be featured in the band's documentary Spirits in the Forest, in which Robbins makes a brief (six-second) appearance singing out of tune in a Berlin karaoke bar.
