PLACEBO PART COMPANY WITH DRUMMER STEVE HEWITT

Placebo have parted company with drummer of 11 years, Steve Hewitt, due to personal and musical differences.

Brian Molko commented "Being in a band is very much like being in a marriage, and in couples - in this case a triple - people can grow apart over the years. To say that you don't love your partner anymore is inaccurate, considering all that you've been through and achieved together. There simply comes a point when you realize that you want different things from your relationship and that you can no longer live under the same roof, so to speak."

The split is amicable and a sad time for both parties. Steve Hewitt replaced Robert Schultzberg behind the drum kit in 1996 whilst the band were promoting Placebo’s eponymous debut album and went on to record the following 4 studio albums ‘Without You I’m Nothing’, ‘Black Market Music’, ‘Sleeping With Ghosts’ and most recently ‘Meds’.

Placebo have just returned from the USA where they were part of the high profile ‘Projekt Revolution Tour’ alongside Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance. The band are now taking a well earned break.

Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal will begin work on Placebo’s 6th studio album next Spring and are in no rush to find an immediate replacement for Steve.

this is going to be so weird

helloooo

and happy holidays.

i was wondering if anyone could point me to "where is my mind?" by PLACEBO. the discography i downloaded claimed to have it, but the pixies version was the one they gave. i KNOW for a fact that placebo covered it, AND performed it live with Frank from the pixies on their live DVD in paris.

yousendit.com or any other related site would be amazing =]] thanks in advance.

Let there be slash on Earth,
and let it begin with me.
Let there be slash on Earth,
the pr0n that was meant to be.

With Sucklerlove_, our Provider,

Let 'Cebo play with each other,
in perfect harmony.

Let slash begin with me,
let this be the moment now.
With every fic I write,
Slash Rating the only guide

To write each moment, a thrill each moment
bandslash, eternally.
Let there be Slash on Earth,
and let it begin with me.

Tomorrow is census day. I hope you're all going to list placeboism as your religion, hmm?

*prays*
Dear Gods

Please may the 10 Year Anniversary Collectors Edition of Placebo not be a complete fuck up waste of fan's hard-earned cash to which they could use ~~to buy more shit off ebay~~ to follow you on tour. Please may Virgin be doing right by you and may all the bonus extra stuff be unique to the release and not widely available, in good quality.

Thank you for being so good to us, may our every move please you

The Placebo Effect needs YOU!

Thu, 27 Apr 2006 18:09:31 GMT

PLACEBOOK is the LiveJournal of an ongoing project called The Placebo Effect, a fans' scrapbook of Placebo that is currently accepting submissions.

If you have any writing (letters, poetry, humor material, essays, testimonials, thank-yous) to submit, send them HERE: placeboeffect_lit@yahoo.com

If you have any art (painting, drawings, photos of room decorations or tattoos), send them HERE: placeboeffect_art@yahoo.com

If you choose to contribute - artwork, essays, poems - your name, age and location (and media of piece if artwork) will be added to your page in the book. Your works can be about the whole band or one member in particular. Fanfiction is not allowed. We are also looking for pictures of your Placebo tattoos. This book is meant to be a widespread, fan-created scrapbook with which to show our global appreciation and undying love for our lovely boys. The pieces can include pretty much anything you want - sexual content, drug content. Just nothing that would be ridiculously offensive to the band themselves should they ever chance to see it in its published form. These are to be your personal thoughts, feelings, emotions relating to the band itself and what their music means to you. This is as much a project for you to get your message out there, as it is for the band to appreciate our love for them. The tentative title is The Placebo Effect, but may change over time.

Friend this LJ for further information and future updates!

Happy Birthday Brian!!!

Mon, 12 Dec 2005 22:20:51 GMT

Brian Molko i am sorry i am late but your birthday is my birthday too and i was 21 so ofcourse i was very drunk and busy. But i spent my night thinking of you and celebrating our day by watching my present, Once More With Feeling and sipping bloody marrys and martinis and downing jello shots. I have been drunk for the past couple days but all in your name. I got you a birthday present today. I named a star in the constilation sagittarius after you and me in honor of our birthday. Brian Molko + Sarah Collver. Thank you for all the miracles you have done in my life brian and i hope your big day was a sweet as mine.

To the Gods

Please accept my public prayer today for my fellow peer - you know I was expected to say a prayer for her and I could not lie and pray to her God. I ask that you do guide her as I asked, guide her to your light and show her tolerance and peace.
May she help others to follow in this path that may rid her of her intolerant Christian ideals.
In your blessed names,
Protège moi

Let us pay homage to the new demigod, Cody, child of the God Brian.

And while I'm here:
Dear Bri, Stef and Steve,
help Sylvia get through this rough patch in her life. Help me have the sensitivity and understanding to be by her side when she needs me.
I also pray that my house gets floor soon, because the cement is filthy.

Dear Brian, Stefan and Steve

I would like to thank you for everything you have done for me the last eight months. I know I only pray on a school day, but that is because through you I am strong enough on my own, as you intended. Thank you for helping me keep it together thus far, that I haven't beaten anyone up yet, or told them to dispose of themselves. I believe in Our Brian with all my heart, but I believe I must yield my temptations for now - they will be far more pleasurable and satisfying when I have not just merely played with them, but beaten them. Please help me to show the herd the wrongings of their ways, help me not just to stay immune to their powerful brainwashing techniques, but to overpower them. Please help me to destroy the effigies of those in my mind that have come against me. Help me to keep my mind clear and focused on my tasks, that I may not crumble before them, that I may stand strong in the knowledge that they know nothing, and that they can do no harm unto me. In this time of weakness, please guide me to make fair judgements in my path of Escape.
In your eternal names,
protege moi

Dear Brian, Stefan and Steve
Thank you for opening my eyes to a world of openminded people and acceptance. Thank you for giving me hope that there are people who will not judge me and expect too much of me. Thank you for being the symbol of my metamorphosis. Thank you for saying the words that I cannot say myself. Thank you for tearing open my heart so I can feel and cry again. Thank you for rocking so hard you make all the anger go away. Thank you for writing English Summer Rain and covering Daddy Cool so I can bounce in my car and grin like a maniac. Thank you for enlightening me in the joys of wearing black eyeliner. And the joys of admiring men wearing black eyeliner. Thank you for infiltrating all the various aspects of my life and leaving them changed for the better. Thank you for making such a difference in my life. I pray that you will protect me now on my journey to the life that I will make for myself. Protect me that I will not destroy myself but be strengthened by my trials. Help me find people who understand and can be sympathetic not judgemental. Lastly, help me find a duplicate of the necklace Brian wore in This Picture (and if possible, the shirts he wore in You Don't Care About Us). Somme nous les jouets du destins.....

HAPPY EVIL DILDO DAY!!!

Dear Brian

Wed, 22 Jun 2005 05:25:12 GMT

This is my first pray to you in my hopes that i can better my life as a born again placeboist. i have gathered old fanarts to show my appretiation.

Brian may you guide me through this exciting new time in my life as an idependent young women and help me find the answers to my questions in your lyrics. i also pray that you may help my friend find it in her heart to smoke a bowl of purple bud with me tommorow but prevent me from sitting on my ass and over indulging in munchies. let me instead see the light in placebo's music. i also pray that the world won't be destroyed in 20 years from global warming and that people can stop their rainforest destruction before it is too late. in Brian Moloko's name, Protège moi.
