Release Notes:
SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
Due to their penchant for androgynous attire/makeup and raw, punky guitar
riffs, Placebo have been described by some as a glam version of Nirvana. The
multinational band was formed by singer/guitarist Brian Molko (part Scottish and
American descent, but raised in England) and Swedish bassist Stefan Olsdal. Both
members had previously attended the same school in Luxembourg, but they didn't
cross paths properly until 1994 in London, England. Briefly called Ashtray Heart
and influenced by the likes of Sonic Youth, the Pixies, the Smashing Pumpkins,
and the aforementioned Nirvana, they began filling the vacant drum spot with
percussionists like Robert Schultzberg and Steve Hewitt (the latter being the
group's only member of English origin). Although Molko and Olsdal preferred
Hewitt as their main man (it was this lineup that recorded several early demos),
Hewitt opted to return to his other band at the time, Breed. With Schultzberg
back on board instead, Placebo signed a recording contract with Caroline Records
and released a self-titled debut in 1996. The album was a surprise hit in the
U.K., where singles like "Nancy Boy" and "Teenage Angst" became Top 40 hits.
Meanwhile, the bandmates themselves became the toast of the British music
weeklies and supported their debut by opening for such outfits as the reunited
Sex Pistols, U2, and Weezer.
Despite the group's early success, Schultzberg wasn't seeing eye to eye with the
other bandmembers, who by this point were able to convince Hewitt to rejoin the
lineup, prompting Schultzberg's exit from the band in September 1996. One of
Hewitt's first performances with Placebo upon returning proved to be a big one,
as David Bowie -- a fan of the band, not to mention an influence on its sound --
personally invited the trio to play his 50th birthday bash at New York's Madison
Square Garden in 1997. The following year, Placebo switched over to the
major-label division of Caroline, Virgin Records, and issued Without You I'm
Nothing in November. The album was another big seller in England and initially
appeared to be the group's breakthrough in the U.S., where MTV embraced the
album's lead-off single, "Pure Morning." Subsequent singles failed to match the
success of that first song, but Without You I'm Nothing remained popular in
England, where it eventually went platinum. Around the same time, Placebo
recorded a cover of T. Rex's "20th Century Boy" for Velvet Goldmine, a movie in
which the trio also appeared.
The relationship between Placebo and Bowie continued to blossom. Bowie made a
special on-stage appearance with the band during a tour stop in New York, and
both parties united for a re-recording of the title track from Without You I'm
Nothing, which was issued as a single in 1999. Placebo's third release, Black
Market Music, added hip-hop and disco elements to the band's tense rock sound.
The album was released in Europe in 2000, followed several months later by a
re-sequenced American version whose track list featured several additions,
including the aforementioned Bowie version of "Without You I'm Nothing" and the
band's cover of Depeche Mode's "I Feel You." The recording spawned additional
U.K. hits such as "Taste in Men" and "Slave to the Wage."
In spring 2003, Placebo showcased a harder edge with the release of their fourth
album, Sleeping with Ghosts. The album cracked the Top Ten in the U.K. and sold
1.4 million copies worldwide. Australian tour dates with Elbow and U.K. shows
with Har Mar Superstar followed in 2004. Placebo's singles collection, Once More
with Feeling: Singles 1996-2004, was released before the year's end. The 19-song
compilation included their biggest U.K. hits and the new track "Twenty Years."
Frenchman Dimitri Tikovoi (Goldfrapp, the Cranes), who had mixed selected songs
on Once More with Feeling, also signed on to produce Placebo's fifth effort,
2006's Meds. One year later, after landing a spot on the Projekt Revolution tour
alongside Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance, Virgin released the Extended Play
'07 EP as a simple introduction for new fans to the band's past decade of music.
Steven Hewitt departed Placebo in the fall of 2007, and the band left its
longtime home of EMI/Virgin one year later. With new drummer Steve Forrest now
on board, the band recorded Battle for the Sun and released it during the summer
of 2009. A box set of the band's work for EMI, The Hut Recordings, was released
the same day, and an extensive tour kept the guys busy for another year. For
fans who couldn't make the shows, Placebo also issued a live mini-album, Live at
La Cigale, whose songs were taken from a 2006 performance in Paris. The band
returned in 2009 with its sixth studio album, Battle for the Sun, which was
produced by Grammy winner David Bottrill (dEUS, Silverchair, Muse). In 2010,
Molko and Olsdal announced they had been working on new material, which
culminated in the release of the mini-album B3 EP two years later. In 2013
Placebo delivered their seventh studio album, the Adam Noble-produced Loud Like
Love. For their 20th anniversary, Placebo announced a grand two-year
retrospective blitz that included the vinyl re-release of their first five
albums as well as a recording for MTV Unplugged. Recorded in front of a live
audience in London, it featured drastic reworkings of past hits and deep cuts
(including the first-ever live performance of "Bosco"), as well as guest
appearances by Majke Voss Romme (Broken Twin) and Joan as Police Woman. In
August 2016, the band released a 36-track retrospective, A Place for Us to
Dream, which featured a new single, "Jesus' Son."
