There you were a month ago, with your Ticketmaster printout, faded Violator concert t-shirt and blacker-than-black eyeliner. Then you got the phone call. David Gahan has laryngitis, and can't "Shake This Disease." Lucky for you, you won't have to try to "Enjoy the Silence" any longer. Those electric eclectics from Blacklisted (Dark Wave Disco) bring you "Fast Fashion--A Depeche Mode Tribute Night," featuring live Depeche Mode covers from Terraforma. This South Side band fuses harder rock undertones with new wave influences and electronica-based production--a fitting choice to perform sacred Depeche Mode covers. Also on the bill and "Behind the Wheel(s)" are DJs Trancid & Jesse De La Pena, who will be stitching together a set of remixes, bootlegs, covers and other rarities. DM fans, go to Darkroom Thursday and "Dream On" for a rescheduled Chicago date.

Fast Fashion takes place at Darkroom, 2210 West Chicago, (773)276-1411 on June 8.
