As an act whom frontman Brian Molko himself has labelled “for outsiders, by outsiders,” Placebo are certainly embraced by a wide cross-section, and this cross-appeal makes them all the more interesting. Their glam/alternative/industrial rock still sounds cool and now in their 20th year, Placebo are amongst the elder statesmen of rock. Rightly so after tonight’s marathon performance.
The sold-out Enmore was already heaving, but when Placebo took the stage at bang on 9pm it became a rock ‘n’ roll rollercoaster ride as they delivered an almost two-hour set. The band knew what the fans wanted and played to their own strengths, while dropping in a few surprises as well. Molko and partner-in-crime Stefan Olsdal led the charge, laying out a stack of hits like Song To Say Goodbye, Every You Every Me, and the epic Twenty Years.
Since their last tour, Placebo have dropped a new album, the sadly overlooked Loud Like Love, and the boys decided to play through a good chunk of it. It was great to see the new tracks receive such a strong response, with Rob The Bank, Loud Like Love, and the thrashy Scene Of The Crime served with aplomb. Exit Wound and Purify were set highlights, as was the cracking Too Many Friends.
Afterwards, a blistering encore ensued, the slow-building Teenage Angst, followed by a fine cover of Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill. The final one-two punch of Post Blue and Infra-Red capped off a tight, professional performance. What Placebo showed tonight was that their brand is as strong as ever and perhaps more relevant in the current trend of indie bands trying too hard to be cool.
Witness a Placebo gig and you’ll learn how it’s done. Unlike so many of their Brit rock contemporaries, who in recent years seem to have disappeared up their own arse, Placebo still deliver an honest and uncompromising performance. Bravo, lads.

The Enmore Theatre is a theatre and entertainment venue in Sydney, Australia. It was built in 1908 and first opened in 1912 as a photo-play theatre. It was run by a well-known theatre family at the time, the Szarka Brothers.
Today's Enmore Theatre is the longest running live theatre in Sydney, hosting concerts, comedians, plays and all forms of performance. It plays a distinctive role in the social and cultural life of the city and occupies a unique position in Sydney’s theatrical history. It has hosted many international bands including a performance by Bob Dylan.
The Enmore Theatre was designed by architects, Kaberry & Chard. Around the period that it was built, the architects in Australia discussed the influence of the Classical and Gothic styles. Enmore is known for its focus on the goth subculture in Sydney. The evolution of the building over a century has resulted in an architectural fabric that includes elements of Art nouveau, Edwardian, Art Moderne and various Art Deco styles. It is predominantly modern, with aspects of late 19th century and early 20th century architecture.
The Enmore Theatre is classified by the National Trust and is listed in the Historic Buildings Register of the Australian Institute of Architects. The Enmore Theatre is one of two surviving art deco theatres in Sydney and the only one in its full original condition.
