I know yesterday (13th March) was the first time a new PSB track had been played in ages, but (as per the long standing forum rules) in future all public requests for copies of any new track, PSB or otherwise, will be deleted and/or threads containing requests closed. We will officially...

They’re on Zoe Ball’s Breakfast Show on Radio 2 right now. Neil just said that there’s a special guest on one song and that it’s pretty obvious who it is, but he’s not going to say.
Pet Shop Boys are delighted to confirm that they will be performing at the @electricballroomcamden, London, in 2021 as part of the @passportgigs: Back to Our Roots event series supporting the UK’s grassroots live music scene. The final date of the show will be revealed as soon as social distancing...

Great night. Warm up for Glasto as expected with consequent cut down set list. No projections, no masks, new outfits for Neil!
Nice to meet sandieshaw, dbaseboy and others face to face!
Pet Shop Boys are delighted to announce that they will be headlining the Other Stage at the long-awaited 50th Anniversary edition of the @glastonbury in June this year. More information is available at the link below.

They’re both Beatles fans and I rather like that they have the respect and friendship of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
From an article published in the Sunday Times. If you have a free account, you can read three articles per month.
The new tour is a five-star hit; their most recent album was well-received; new music — possibly an EP with songs about modern fascism — will be incoming.

The fact that you created a new thread only for it to be merged as such made me chuckle for some reason.
Well, I expect the usual suspects to pop up, Trump, BoJo, Putin, your anti-democracy buffoons. Don't think they'll be reaching for abortion rights and TERFs, especially since Frances Barber is...
With the tour fast approaching, people will be keen to share their experiences and discuss any new snippets of information. I’m sure there’ll be forum members that don’t want to see or hear “spoilers”. Let’s use this space so people can have the choice.
Mods: Delete if you disagree..!

I’ve seen them live 10 times since 1989 and during the 90’s Neil did not sound that great live but from the fundamental tour his voice has got better each time. I’m not lucky enough to go to the electric ballroom on Friday and those of you are lucky enough will certainly be able to tell if there is...
Another gem surfaced form the unreleased vaults! This time, an unreleased instrumental backing track of the main single from their 1988 Introspective album. As a very interesting and curious thing, it includes in the middle an spoken text by a male in Spanish saying: No Juegues Con Fuego, te vas a...

Wow!!! Thanks to this leak...I finally discovered whar Neil says around the 3:10 mark on the Base Mix from the Remix 12 !!! I always thougth he said something in French...but what he actually says is Te Vas a Quemar , in Spanish!!! The same line as the male voice on the youtube version!
So fun to...
To update the Pet Text about this on 7th June, just a heads-up that after the Friday 1st screening sold out, the cinema added another on the next day, Saturday 2nd:

I think everybody should be happy of the existence of this movie. The manifest of the Imperial Phrase.
The situtation for PSB in 2000s was a bit complicated. Its career was 2 decades long. Pet Shop Boys were not being played on Radio 1 anymore and they were not old enough to be considered pop legends. Chart rules were going to change and PSB had their last Top 10.
They have to reborn again with a...

It's funny because they talk about the same facts on the interview of the other day.
1992 mey seem like an empty PSB year but then it struck me that The Crying Game was released in september that year and reached nr 22 on the UK chart (even higher than Was it worth it)... and apparently nr 1 on the Icelandic chart.
It was of course sung by Boy George but it's really a PSB version...

Boy George has just tweeted about them. I haven’t a clue what the reason for the tweet is though. Also in the comments section is the first time anyones heard anything from Marilyn since 1985

I agree with Drico, however there's one exception to the rule and that's Love etc. I still surprised me how well it worked in the singles charts - at least in Germany it did. It stayed in the official Top 20 for almost three months. Then again they had a clever video clip accompanying that single...
It's also on the Youtube's section. I know that's simply a fan talking about her experiences being a fan of Pet Shop Boys but I think it's really interesting to listen to her. All of us are pet-head or pet shop boys fans. I know most of you will like to listen to her and her story. Some parts of...
It's a mix between a bizarre video and a performance of PSB. The thing is I can see on this bizarre video the famous actor Pedro Alonso (well know because of the show La Casa de Papel, Money Heist). I'm a big of the series and of PSB. So I wanted to know if...

I’m a huge “Money Heist” fan! Thank you Spain for an incredible series!! 😎
Of course, it is. 8)
My pleasure :D
Madonna is a huge fan too. :dance:
The full soundtrack have a lot of different kind of songs but the original score sounds very PSB, by the way. :twisted:
I've been in only two concerts of PSB but many of you have been almost on every tour, at least the last ones. I want you to tell us the changes you have seen over the years in the crowd. We know it's obviously older people but I suppose you have seen many other changes from your first concerts to...

Huge spoiler (it was in the O2 Arena):
You can see an incredible view of the crowd in minute 6.
I'm considering taking the kids to a PSB concert this summer (outdoor, Europe). They're about 10 years old and 140 cm tall (and PSB fans of course). Is this wise? Anybody with experience? any advice or suggestions?

Alea iacta est. Tickets booked. Chose Budapest in the end for transport convencience. Seems like they have some kind of hill somewhere around the soundboard area. Could be useful for the short ones.
Pet Shop Boys recently remixed, “Insanely Alive”, a song by artist Wolfgang Tillmans from his recent album, Moon in Earthlight”. A 12-inch single which includes the PSB Maxi Mix and the PSB Radio Edit will be released on May 20th and is now available for pre-order. More...

Yeah. The hole on mine was too small too. Very careful with the drill bit and we are good to go.
Just heard the Balcony Scene from Romeo and Juliet on Classic FM thinking how familiar it sounded and then the presenter mentioned Craig Armstrong who of course worked with PSB. Some chords and sequences are almost note for note!
So the soundtrack was released in 1996 and Nightlife in 1999....

A really interesting find – thanks for keeping eyes and ears open, Sandy Shaw! :)
For the ones with no time: Open the YouTube link in the first post and go to 1:20. You can clearly hear the opening strings from In Denial (just slower).

I just came across this interesting YouTube comment:

Concur with what others said. Pete passed away at Fabden.
So there is that Soft Cell interview in Electronic Sound magazine (issue 86, march? 2022) with minor PSB references here and there, and announces 'Happiness Not Included' upcoming album is due for release by BMG in the spring, along with a new version of 'Purple Zone' by Soft Cell and PSB.

No, modern DVD players don't play all region DVDs.
Some do. But an NTSC DVD will be lower resolution than a PAL DVD.

Hi All, long time fan never been to one of the boys shows before. Just wondered what is the usual attire and is there anything I should know? Anybody here going to be there too? (probably a daft question :D )

I am visiting London next week and would like to see the famous electronic show where Neil and Chris met up in 1981. If it still does exists and some people knows where it's situated, I would like to know. Thanks x
1992. The Love album is thirty years old this week. Carter were described as “The Indie Pet Shop Boys” and indeed covered “Rent” as a B-Side to their “Rubbish” single

I must admit, this is all new to me. Seems that i overlooked it somehow. So thanks a lot for heads up.
Really fun to see. Looks like these girls wanted something more with PSB than just watching them live, playing music. The host is quite touching with Neil and Chris. :lol:

Nothing about this looked right, other than the fact that it was on a fair dinkum Aussie website. They'd never do something like this as they have too much respect for the original product.
Just discovered how the 10'' mix of It's alright ends with the birds on the seaside -sound, the same sound as the beginning of Go West (album version). So those two songs segues perfectly into eachother... a nice pair.
Two great songs about love, freedom and peace and the power of music.

None of them. It wouldn't matter if The Beatles had reformed especially to do it. It's not a song contest, its a political popularity vote, and the UK has shot itself in the foot on that score. Nil points.

With Duran Duran and especially Eurythmics being inducted into the Rock n roll Hall of Fame do you think there's any chance PSB will get inducted in the future?
I mean, out of Pat Benatar, Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Carly Simon, Lionel Richie and Dolly Parton how many are Rock n Roll?

sorry duplicate post.
i'm not sure if there is an advantage to american bands,
compared to European and UK ones.
although there might be more 'rock and roll' types that fit
the categories.
