Ted Stryker welcomes to Tuna on Toast, one of the greatest frontman and songwriters of all time, Dave Gahan.
The episodes begins with Stryker telling the story of how this interview almost never happened as a result of Stryker not having his glasses on and misreading an email.
When Dave joins the episode, he reveals to Stryker that he loves Seinfeld and watched and watches quite often when he's not on the road (Depeche Mode or Soulsavers).
Dave reveals why he chose the 12 songs on the Imposter album to cover and the pressure to do the original artists justice. Dave talks about Mark Lanegan's reaction in particular.
Dave and Stryker talk about the process of recording these songs in Malibu at Rick Rubin's beautiful Shangri-La Studios, Dave tells Stryker it's the first time that the Soulsavers have ever recorded an album in the same room.
Stryker asks Dave about potentially performing these 12 songs live, "yes" is what Dave says, live shows are coming our way!
Dave talks about his enthusiasm for recording and singing these songs as well as is overall excitement mixed with a couple nerves to release them all to the public. He tell Stryker that this process to record Imposter started before the pandemic.
Stryker asks Dave if he watches the Netflix hit show Squid Game :)
This quick but fun chat ends with Stryker congratulating Dave on Depeche Modes induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
Dave Gahan is better than ever, he's smart, charming and overall just an electric dude!
Good vibes all around!
