Placebo

[ManBurning]

I highly doubt it. Earliest date so far is June 27th in Greece. Few more dates have surfaced lately (the aforementioned Greek festival, Rock Werchter in Belgium and some festival in Ukraine).

New album is being released via So Recordings. If you haven’t heard of them, you’re not alone.

Oooohhh, New album. That's exciting.

I think the most famous bands with this label are Band Of Skulls and Enter Shikari (and now Placebo)

So, isn't a big label, let's hope that means Placebo will release a more interesting records than the last ones.

[halo eighteen]

Band of Skulls are with that label. As long as the new tunes are kicking, that's all I care about. Maybe another American tour lol

[slave2thewage]

Rumours that the new album is tentatively set for a February release.

[henryeatscereal]

Placebo is running a "Summer Festival Lockdown series", they will release an old concert tape each week, they started with Uk's 1996 Phoenix Festival:

Eurockéennes de Belfort 1997, with great early renditions of WYIN and Evil Dildo! Seems like the portion of the set with Kitsch Object got cut though, if setlist.fm is accurate anyway.

I was impressed with "Evil Dildo", i thought they never played that song live!
does anyone know if they ever played "Black Market Blood"?

1. Evil Dildo got played a good bit between 97-99.
2. Black Market Blood has never been played.

damn...

[eversonpoe]

ugh, i LOVE black market blood. and the rob ellis-arranged strings are just so gorgeous. always makes me wish that PJ harvey had collaborated with placebo in some way.

Oh yeah, PJ/Placebo is something that needs to happen; in a way it could have been something similar to the Asia Argento/Molko collaboration:

interesting! i had no idea that existed.

i feel like if PJ & brian collaborated i'd want it to be more raw & organic than electronic, but that's just me.

I also imagine something similar to the "Sleeping with Ghosts" era, with PJ

[henryeatscereal]

Good concert and loved the violin in "Battle for the sun"; i love that album, it's so underrated...

[GibbonBlack]

Is anyone else unable to play Nancy Boy on Spotify? It's totally greyed out on the album for me :/

Works ok here in Australia.

[GibbonBlack]

weird. So I'm in the UK but I had VPN making it seem like I was in the states. If I turn the VPN off it plays fine

Looks like they're sick of holding onto extra copies of the Place for Us to Dream 4lp boxset; it's onsale for $27 right now. I will say the copy I have sounds great. Not sure there's anything exclusive on it (maybe at the time the horribly mediocre Jesus' Son, and so-so reworkings of 36 Degrees and I Know) but it's a solid collection of their whole catalogue.

edit - Disappointingly they didn't bother to include Narcoleptic, the song the title comes from. Sheesh, guys.

in case anyone's interested, my friend jack and i did a cover of "without you i'm nothing" and we're donating the money to the national bailout fund. hope you check it out and enjoy it enough to throw in a little to help a good cause <3

[Reznor2112]

Super stoked! Hope this one is not so overly produced as LLL was.

[henryeatscereal]

Guess it's the single's name, i'm up for it!

[wampa]

hadn't thought about these guys in a long time! been on the placebo rabbithole for the last few hours listening to their music again.

[wampa]

[firewlker]

Just heard the song, sounds like a leftover from Battle For The Sun

meh for me, sadly.

[henryeatscereal]

Battle from the Sun is great, so i'm even more interested!

[Reznor2112]

Not a bad track -- def hear the BFTS sound.

I think I am spoiled by how great Without You Im Nothing is and that particular sound of that time. I ended up really enjoying LLL surprisingly and will probably love this new album as well. haha

[henryeatscereal]

Song is ok, nothing to scream about, but i liked it:



Reminded me to "I Do" and "Ashtray Heart".

[poinoup]

How did I just find out about this now. It's pretty ok; I am still amazed that Brian's voice sounds so good all these years later.

[wampa]

I didn't hate it, would love to hear more.
