The Success Story so Far Since Placebo burst onto the music scene almost six years ago, they have made a tremendous mark with their complexed sound that takes influences from the likes of Bowie, Waits and a little PJ Harvey. Their first taster of the success was back in 1995 with their debut single 'Come Home' which reached number three in the indie charts and was released through Deceptive Records.
Shortly afterwards, Brian, Steve and Stefan signed to Hut Recordings which lead to a spot supporting David Bowie on several European tour dates which came about after hearing one of their demos and being extremely impressed. This lead to other hits including 'Nancy Boy' and a guest appearance at Bowie's 50th birthday in Madison Square Garden, New York. The self-tilted debut album achieved gold status whilst the follow up album 'Without You I'm Nothing' to date has sold over 300,000 copies.
