Pet Shop Boys are an English electronic dance music duo, consisting of Neil Tennant, who provides main vocals, keyboards and occasionally guitar and Chris Lowe on keyboards and occasionally on vocals. The dynamic of Pet Shop Boys' image lies in the duo's public personalities — Tennant is perceived as an erudite intellectual, articulate and verbose in speech; while Lowe, now almost always seen in his trademark attire of hat and sunglasses (since as early as 1985), appears as guarded yet fun-loving, terse yet flippant and casual. They have maintained a consistent pattern for interviews, in which Tennant is the primary speaker, answering questions at length, while occasionally being interrupted by brief, generally humorous interjections from Lowe (which is comparable to the concept of a comedic double act).
At the 2009 BRIT Awards, The Pet Shop Boys (PSB) received an award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. PSB celebrate their 25th year in entertainment industry this year.
PSB have sold more than 50 million records worldwide. Since 1986, they have had released 56 Singles with 39 Top 30 singles and 22 Top 10 hits in the UK, including four Number Ones: "West End Girls," "It's a Sin," "Always on My Mind," and "Heart." Some of my favourites are : West End Girls, It's A Sin, Surburbia, Rent, So Hard, Being Boring, Where The Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You), Go West, I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Anymore, Se A Vida E & Flamboyant.
The duo's latest album (which is the 10th 'proper' album, entitled Yes, was released on 23 March 2009. This is the 6th CDs of PSB that I have bought including 2 Compilations. My favourite is still VERY.
Enjoy two of the from YES; 'Love etc.' & 'Did You See Me Coming?'.
