In late September as the summer drew to a close, and the faces of fans in Reading and Leeds still showed the smiles of having watched PLACEBO’s final incredible festival performances of the summer, PLACEBO were packing their bags, about to embark on one final trans-Atlantic journey to play 2 very special shows in Mexico.
As a special surprise to all the fans who have followed the films of the band traversing the globe, watching through the eyes of the PLACEBO family, Stefan has completed his documentary with:
‘PLACEBO SUMMER 2009 – The Mexican Epilogue’
Online to watch now!
It is only just that the last word comes from our director and creator, Stefan Olsdal.
“Hey, just wanted to thank you all for coming out this summer and giving us some memorable nights! It was long, hot and sweaty… And thank you all for voting for us at the MTV Awards, you gave us a night to remember. Got to say we did feel quite pleased up there on the podium!!!
Since the autumn tour is up and running I want to take the opportunity to say a massive thanks to the French crowds who showed a lot of love!! We’re excited about the show now with the little ShortsTV Film Festival and EXPATRIATE as support. We start the German leg today. Fahren wir, ja!!?
I hope you have enjoyed my little summer blogs. It was a journey for me, both personally and with the band to delve into sides of us people necessarily haven’t seen before..!! I had fun doing them and tried to get as many of you as possible in there as well. You all know who you are!!! Some of you have asked if they’ll be available somewhere else apart from online. I’m still working on that idea and will let you know shortly. Bye for now!”
