Interview with Penny Molk from France.
By Susie Bosco & Silke Mitteregger from and for Placebo Anyway. 05.02.2019
Placebo Anyway: PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU!
Penny Molk: Well, I’m Penny Molk, a French Placebo fan since the beginning. I used to be fan of
old bands like The Rolling Stones, The Cure and others and of course David
Bowie. When I heard about Placebo, The Love Story started.
Placebo Anyway: CAN YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST PLACEBO SONG THAT YOU'VE EVER HEARD? WHEN AND WHERE WAS IT?
Penny Molk: The first Placebo song I’ve ever heard was “Bruise Pristine“ because an English friend of mine wrote me “Listen to that band, it’s so new and great“ I did.
Placebo Anyway: PLACEBO IS LIKE A DRUG – ONCE YOU HAVE STARTED YOU CAN'T STOP LISTENING. DO YOU AGREE AND HOW DID IT HAPPEN THAT YOU GOT PLACEBO-ADDICTED?
Penny Molk: After “Bruise Pristine“ came “Nancy Boy“ and the addiction started and it has never stopped.
Placebo Anyway: WHICH SONG OR ALBUM HAD/HAS THE MOST IMPORTANT
INFLUENCE ON YOU? WHAT MAKES THIS SONG OR ALBUM
SO SPECIAL AND HOW DID IT CHANGE YOUR LIFE?
Penny Molk: I do love all the albums but “Battle for the Sun“ is for me the one
I prefer because there were new musicians, new sounds, a new universe but still
the soul of Placebo in a new atmosphere. A very elegant, precious, unique band.
A lot of fresh air and this was important in my life at that time. Thanks Placebo.
Placebo Anyway: WHAT COMES TO MIND FIRST WHEN YOU THINK OF PLACEBO?
THREE WORDS ONLY: ONE FOR THE BAND, ONE FOR BRIAN AND ONE FOR
STEFAN.
Penny Molk: 3
only words?
The band: Tolerance.
Brian: Perfection.
Stefan: Unique.
Placebo Anyway: WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACEBO QUOTE?
Penny Molk: A French quote by Brian: “Je ne suis qu’un petit con qui fait de la musique.“
Placebo Anyway: WHERE DO YOU SEE
PLACEBO IN THE NEAR AND DISTANT FUTURE?
Penny Molk: One of the best rock bands in the world with Brian’s incredible voice, swinging his lovely little ass while playing the guitar on stage with Stefan’s gay dancing.

Placebo Anyway: THE LAST QUESTION IS YOURS! WHATEVER YOU WANT TO KNOW – FEEL FREE TO ASK.
Penny Molk: What do you feel or expect about
Placebo back to the studio now?
My answer is Pure Delight. We really miss them.
