Brian Molko, the always-engaging frontman of Placebo, has been around the world twice since SuicideGirls last checked in with him. Although Placebo has had a successful decade-long career in the UK and Europe, they've never managed a full-on conquest of America. This summer's Projekt Revolution tour, headlined by Linkin Park, might be the Trojan Horse that finally gets them through the gate. Did Placebo take their new audience by surprise, or was it the other way around? I got a chance to talk to...

It is kinda sad that a band as good and that has been around as long as Placebo has been has to open up for people like L.P. in the states when they sale out everywhere else in the world as a headliner, including Mexico, Aussie, Japan, and all over Europe. I had the chance to tour with them in 2002 in Aussie with another British band called Elbow. Placebo headlined and just rocked out 15000+ seat venues.

I think Placebo are an awesome band--better than both LP and MCR, and I really like MCR.

Thanks for the interview. smile

So happy to read the part about his appreciation for Palahniuk! Both Chuck and Brian are two of the three most influential artists in my life [the third, if you were wondering, is Paul Banks].
Oh joy!

Great interview, I got to see Placebo at Projekt Revolution this year- they were one of the reasons my boyfriend and I were willing to fork over the cash for PR. I found though that Toronto had a pretty strong fan base for them because they don't get up this way much smile Very cool interview, Brian's such an interesting guy.
