New album- official!

People say it was said by one of organizers of the festival

placebo - the scissor thing was a missunderstanding apparently. i was by the stage when it happened and their tour manager said that someone threw something on stage and when brian looked down he saw a small pair of scissors and thought someone had thrown then at him. i think we'd all be a bit pissed off if that happened to us so he left the stage briefly to speak to his tour manager and security. whats transpired is that the scissors had been left on stage by one of the crew and this led to the confusion. i personally thought that placebo were amazing. the tent was really busy and as a band they're really tight. they were really happy after the gig and were going on about how great the crowd was.

"PLACEBO's Summer 2009 - A Short Film PART I
07.07.2009

Here's
a little video I've put together about the beginning of our world tour.
I've got a great little hard drive recorder called Flip that makes
capturing my boys n me a lot easier! It's more or less chronological
starting with our live tv appearance on Rai 2 in Italy in May and
ending with our visit to Loch Ness and the Rockness festival in
Scotland on June14. Inbetween there are radio/tv shows in
Brussels(Cirque Royale), Cologne(Gloria Theater), Paris(Olympia), and
festivals in Germany(Rock am Ring, Rock am Park) and Provinsirock in
Finland. Thank you all for coming out and making this the best start to
a tour we've ever had!! xxStef "

Thx, I'll watch it a bit later.

And I saw now they announced Canada and USA tour. That's really not fair. I can say I'm really mad. They are going to tour in place they been to at the end of their previous tour, and they totally forgot about Balkan this year. Not fair, not fair!!! And USA don't love them as Europe, that's for sure.

But they want to conquer the US. That's why they travel there so often, for promotion. I think they will play in Balkan and Russia next year

Ok, I hope so. No way the can conquer US. And they should already realize that on PR tour.

I agree it's a total waste of time, when they've got such a hardcore following in Europe .

^ Exactly.

But Brian wants Placebo to be the biggest and greatest band in the world, still cannot give up his childish dream
