I heard about this today and thought... "isn't VCMG a chiptune act?" then I was really confused. now this makes more sense.

Email them and tell them you already have the name? Sue them and say they're going to diminish your business and audience, even though you had the name first hahaha. Get tons of dough, buy me more gameboys.

nice try, depeche mode from the future.
you may have figured out how to travel back in time and re-release your future chiptune hits in the past for more profit, but i won't let you get away with that!
i mean don't get me wrong, that's a fricking genius plan, but i'll stop you anyway because i don't have anything better to do!

Unfortunately if you haven't been releasing stuff commercially already then you have pretty much no case to keep the name (afaik)
I mean even if you had been, it comes down to who stands to be most inconvenienced/lose the most money, and it isn't you (again afaik 
)
E: you could always use the name "Video Cystometrography" instead

Have your lawyers contact theirs. They will do coke together and then Depeche Mode dudes will get to take your name.

Seems like they obviously have joined your live act and this is their way of telling you. Surprise
