Performer: Placebo
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: This collection of interviews with members of the androgynous, cutting-edge European pop group Placebo covers their mid-1990s formation, subsequent runaway U.K. success, and their fruitful relationship with glam rock godfather (and fellow gender bender) David Bowie, as well as outlining their projected musical future.
The three founding members of Placebo hailed from Belgium, Sweden, and Switzerland, but their sound was British through and through, a mix of angst-ridden Cure-esque post-punk and glammy art rock a la Bowie. Amid the success of their early albums in the 1990s, they made no secret of their roots, crossing paths with Bowie more than once, covering T. Rex, and appearing in the glam-rock homage VELVET GOLDMINE. However, as album followed album in the '00s, like Bowie, the band expanded beyond its original universe, developing its own brand of darkly majestic, thoroughly neurotic pop.
