The concert, held on June 18, 1988, at Pasadena's Rose Bowl, drew 65,000 screaming, singing Southern Californians, solidifying Depeche Mode's coronation as a major force in the music industry. The concert also showcased the power of Southern California radio station and event host KROQ, which had played a crucial role in turning Los Angeles into Depeche Mode's American stronghold through years of fervent airplay. KROQ's innovative format, which brought \"new music\" to its avid listeners, soon spread across the country, leading to the explosion of alternative rock in the 1990s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDepeche Mode, rooted in 1970s Krautrock, combined old-fashioned touring, well-crafted songs, and the steadfast support of KROQ to dominate Southern California, the United States, and then the world. Eight years after its founding in Basildon, Essex, Depeche Mode's 101 is the hidden-in-plain-sight hinge of modern music history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 120g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 122 x 165 x 9 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781501390326\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MaryValle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46163764674810,"sku":"9781501390326","price":7.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1717180714601_book.jpg?v=1717230055","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/depeche-modes-101-9781501390326","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
