THAT ANDROGYNY DVD IN... WELL, PART
This would be the blurb from the packaging, then:
Placebo are inarguably the cream of the crop when it comes to modern day Glam Rock. Following in David Bowie's footspets (sic) with their cross-dressing costumes and and powder white make-up, they have not only developed the genre intoa new millenuim phenomena, but have also played in a hit film based on the scene's 1970's origins. Theatrical shows, catchy tunes, bizarre yet poetic lyrics and androgyny' tells the tale of this strange collective. It follows their journey from a chance meeting at a London tube station, to playing festivals and arenas around the globe. It reveals what has influenced and shaped them into becoming one of the biggest cult acts in the world today, and predicts what lies ahead.
Features exclusive interviews with the band, rarely seen photographs (some from private collections), location clips and a host of other features.
In-depth and revealing commentary from those who know Placebo best, including: Simon Williams (MD of Fierce Panda Records), Tony Smith (MD of Deceptive Records), Alan Little (Studio Owner and producer of Placebo's 1st demo), Richard Smith (Gay Times and Melody Maker journalist), Ben Graham (Placebo biographer), Simon Breed (ex-band member, long term friend and lead singer in 'Breed' in which Steve Hewitt played drums), Gerald Lidstone & Robert Gordon (Brian's lecturers at Goldsmiths College), Jessica Otterwell (editor of Placebo Place' website), Johnny K (Fly music magazine journalist) and many others.
DVD special features include extensive Muse discography and digital trivia quiz.
DVD features music by rising bands and artists including 'Eric and the Bunny Boilers'.
