Pet Shop Boys Community

Graham Norton just announced that Neil and Chris will be on his Radio 2 Saturday morning show in a couple of weeks.

Doesn't look like any tv spots are in the pipeline. Nothing covering 30 years at all.

They are going to be on The Graham Norton show peforming TPK on the 25 of March. The cast of Batman V Superman are on the show.

Yay, looking forward to some nice lip-syncing.

I really don't know why Neil has such an aversion towards singing live on TV shows. Makes them look like some washed-up 80s act whose singer can no longer sing live, which sad because we all know it's quite the opposite. Neil's live singing has never sounded better.

Looks like just a performance at the end of the show.

They will most likely chat with him too.

and ask question HOW is his boyfriend and Neil by accident will replay!

ha! Graham Norton is playing: Do the right thing - Ian Wright/Chris Lowe

First and only time I'll hear it on the radio I reckon!

PSB confirmed that their first 11 albums are to be released with bonus CDs (I assume that means the first six will be the same as the Further Listening editions). Neil seemed to think the releases would be staggered, with the first three in the Autumn.

I would expect there to be more details in the forthcoming Literally.

When did he say this?! FREAKING GREAT NEWS!

Unless my ears were deceiving me, I'm sure one of the phone-in questions on the Graham Norton show was about reissues, and Neil mentioned that their "11 EMI albums" would be remastered and re-released with bonus material!

Yeah but I guess he meant that (then) all of their 11 (EMI) albums have their Further Listening treatment.

We already have the first 6 albums, the other 5 will get their FL's.
3 of them are due to be released in autumn and the other two probably early 2017 according to Neil.

David Hepworth in The Guardian has this preview of the documentary...

The Pet Shop Boys are, like Morecambe & Wise, one of those double acts in which one partner appears to do significantly more of the heavy lifting than the other. As in the case of the comics, this is an illusion. In performance, Neil Tennant does the singing, while Chris Lowe loiters in the background, stabbing at a keyboard. Similarly, in interviews, Chris lets Neil do most of the talking, keeping his own contributions pithy and faintly undermining.

This is an act that – as the new four-part documentary Pet Shop Boys (Wednesday, 10pm, Radio 2) serves to remind us – first hung out its shingle fully 30 years ago and has covered a lot of ground, from high culture to low, ever since. Neil and Chris remember signing their first deal with EMI and sniggering about the fact that it called for as many as seven albums, a total they never thought they would manage. To date, they’ve done twice as many. It’s the spoken version of the Pet Shop Boys act that carries this programme every bit as much as the musical one. Neil recalls discovering “to my horror” that Chris liked the records of Imagination when they first met in the early 80s. Chris doesn’t interject at this point. You can nonetheless hear his eyebrows lift. It really is surprising that Radio 2 hasn’t given them a regular show.
