๐ธ It was their first gig for then months, a secret fan club only show at the 450 capacity Oxford Zodiac. Fans had traveled as far as Japan to see the band showcase their new material from their forthcoming third album 'Black Market Music' for the very first time. The level of excitement and anticipation was high as we waited for the band to come on stage. After what seemed like forever, the intro started and the clapping and screams that filled the venue were possibly audible in neighbouring villages across the county ! Finally, the band appeared, looking relaxed and happy to be back. If there were any nerves in the Placebo camp, they were certainly well hidden.
๐ธ Placebo opened with their first new track of the set titled 'Black Eyed', received hungrily by the crowd and followed by another new one, (and Stefan's personal favourite) 'Days Before You Came', a short fix of hard edged rock - pure Placebo ! The classic track 'Allergic' was up next after which Brian asked the audience to dedicate 'You Don't Care About Us' to "your favourite music magazine" (a banner reading "F*** the NME appeared in the crowd at this point, prompting a loud cheer !). Introducing the next song as the follow up single to 'Taste In Men', a sudden hush fell upon the vebue as the audience listened intently to the lyrical 'Slave To The Wage', dedicated to Scott Piering, the band's renowned radio and TV plugger who sadly died of cancer earlier this year.
๐ธ 'Passive Aggressive' was one of my personal favourites of the show, and proved also to be an instant hit with the audience. Leading to believe you're about to hear a slow track, the song builds gradually and powerfully, hinting at the diversity and sheer musical and typical brilliance of the forthcoming album.'Bionic' and '36 Degrees' were next lifting the crowd even bigger, and afterwards another new one 'Commercial For Levi' prompted a further dedication, this time to Placebo's sound man who saved Brian from certain death by a Fiat Uno ! Brian insisted Placebo hadn't been sponsored by Kellogs as they launched into the superb 'Special K', a real up beat powerful pop rock track and potential chart topper. The crowd were then given an opportunity to get their breath back as the title track from the band's last album 'Without You I'm Nothing' followed, along with an acoustic version of 'Every You Every Me' (another fanclub exclusive - first time ever performed live acoustically !). The penultimate new track of the evening 'Narcoleptic' and the alternative rendition of 'Teenage Angst' with Stef on piano ensued.
๐ธ The encore kicked in with 'Taste In Men', another one of my personal highlights of the evening., with the track sounding larger than ever. It reminded me of the first time I heard 'Pure Morning' live, prompting a real "hair in the back of your neck" sensation. It was hard to believe that the set was almost over and that the end of the show was drawing ever closer. Placebo didn't disappoint however, with their choice of the last two songs, the rather excellent 'Nancy Boy' and 'Pure Morning' rounding off a very special evening. Afterwards it was tie to have a few drinks, watch some classic Placebo videos, and if you were one of the lucky ones, now was your chance to meet the band. An unforgettable night with a very special atmosphere, leaving everyone counting the days until the release of album number three.
Top gig boys !

๐ It's more of a metaphor than anything else. I'm not talking about a particular country, but about some things I discovered in myself that I'm not proud of. Every person knows their bad sides and tries to hide them most of the time. I think it's important to bring out these frustrations and obsessions that end up ruining us. Because when you overcome that stuff, your life is better. That's kind of the message of this song.

๐ข๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ: Well London we have the most guests.
๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ช๐ท: Yeah (cue laughter) but you know because of that it just makes it added special and because it's Brixton. It's such a dream venue.

๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ช๐ท: There's few purpose built places in France which almost equal it. It's this romance that's attached to it. It's a bit more intense.

๐ข๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ช๐ท: Having a common goal and respect. And the music really. We're still writing and it's as fresh as ever. I've said it before, you know that's what keeps it together. Checking out other bands on the tour as well.
