Placebo is a British alternative rock band from London, founded in 1994. With their androgynous image and angst-fueled musical content, they have made a significant impact on the music scene. Over the years, Placebo has had various touring members who have contributed to their unique sound. From bass, keyboards, and guitar to violin, theremin, and percussion, these talented musicians have added depth to Placebo's performances. With a dedicated fan club that existed between 1998-2003, Placebo continues to captivate audiences with their powerful music.

Placebo is a British alternative rock band known for their distinctive style and thought-provoking lyrics. Founded in 1994 in London, they quickly gained recognition for their androgynous image and emotionally charged songs. Their music resonates with fans around the world as it explores themes of love, loss, identity, and self-discovery.

Throughout their career spanning over two decades now, Placebo has collaborated with various talented musicians during live performances. These include bassists like Alex Lee who joined the band in 1996 and other keyboardists such as Bill Lloyd (2003-2005), Nick Gavrilovic (2006-2007), Fiona Brice (2008-2017), Stefan Olsdal (since 2009), Matt Lunn (since 2015) among others. Each member brings a unique element to the band

Black Market Music finds Molko in such moody lust that his strangled, androgynous wailing rivals anything the band has previously flashed to the world. Whether it's the dripping, slithery punk circle of songs like "Black Eyed" or the choir-boy enthusiasm of others like "Special K" (strangely echoing Midnight Oil's "Warakurna"), Placebo seem to have finally found that sweet wet spot between beauty and perversion.
