Erasure have added another show to their forthcoming 'Tomorrow's World' UK dates and will be playing at Southend's Cliffs Pavilion on October 26th. Tickets are onsale now and you can find the ticket link on the live page on the Erasure website. I'm also going to run a meet and greet competition for the show so, if you have tickets and fancy meeting the band, all you need to do is send me an email at meetandgreet@erasureinfo.com with the subject 'Southend' before 5pm (UK) on Sunday September 18th. All the entries I receive will go into the draw and two winners will be picked at random (multiple entries from the same email address will be removed before the draw takes place!)???

'TOMORROW'S WORLD' IN THE USA
It's only been a week since I sent the last newsletter but in that time the band have taken their 'Tomorrow's World' tour to Orlando, Atlanta, Asheville, Washington DC (two shows!) and Philadelphia and I have to say that the responses have been absolutely amazing. You can see more about all those shows in the news section on the website, including setlists, reviews where I have them, and photographs for some of the shows, however I would love to get hold of pictures from Philadelphia, Washington and Atlanta as I've not seen any from those shows yet. If you have any good ones then please send them to me by replying to this newsletter and I'll put the best on the website, thank you!

VINCE CLARKE'S REMIX OF 'BEHIND THE WHEEL' HITS THE BILLBOARD TOP THREE
Vince Clarke’s remix of the classic track 'Behind The Wheel' - taken from the Depeche Mode remix album 'Remixes 2: 81-11' which was released earlier this year - has this week entered the top three of the current Billboard Dance Chart. And quite right too! More in the news section on Vince's website.

TOMORROW'S WORLD - PRE-ORDER PAGE
I have set up a page on the Erasure website with links to the various retailers who are offering pre-orders for both the standard and deluxe editions of 'Tomorrow's World' and you can see that page here.
