As previously reported a music video has been made for Follow the Cops Back Home. We can now show you that video:

To view “Follow the Cops Back Home”, visit this page at Method Studios. If that link doesn’t work, you may view it here on good old YouTube.

Information about the video is currently quite limited, such as whether it is an official release, if it is a future single, if so, when and where it will be released. Casting and therefore filming is believed to have been carried out in California, USA.

The video uses an edited version of the song and it focuses on displaying visual effects. It could just be a promotional piece (ie sampler of their wok) for Method Studios. (more…)

Dedicated fans of the band Placebo will instantly recognise the name, Xavior ‘Xav’ Roide. Placebo fans first encountered Xavior as Flaming Creature Pearl, with Brian, Steve and Stef in director Todd Hayne’s glam rock movie, Velvet Goldmine. Several years later, throughout the Sleeping With Ghosts tour Xavior became a familiar staple in live Placebo shows. In an effort to bring the band’s layered studio sound to their live performances extra hands were needed on stage. In addition to mainstay William ‘Bill’ Lloyd, Xavior assumed the role of providing keyboard and vocal elements. During his short time in Placebo’s live ensemble Xavior quickly won the admiration of many fans; and though newcomer Alex Lee has been welcomed with open arms, Xavior’s absence is definitely noted.

For this reason sucker-love.com decided to seek out none other than the delightful creature himself in order to let fans know what he is up to these days and where one may encounter some of his many stage personalities/projects.

Find out what he had to say, here.

Over the years it has become an increasing trend and sign of undying dedication to have a Placebo tattoo located on your body. The wings are, of course, a popular choice and as a result have, in time, become somewhat of an unofficial band logo. However for those desiring the one of a kind tattoo, this venture has the added the challenge of not only coming up with a piece of body art that has personal significance but also, with a unique inking.

When this particular tattoo image (left) was e-mailed to the site, you can imagine why it caught our eye!

…yesterday my friend and I both got Sucker Love tattooed on our wrists, mine on the tops of my wrists in cursive and his on the under sides of his wrists in plain text. …By the way, I absolutely love your site and the message behind it.

I wonder how much she’d charge us to add a “.com” to that?

The American tour continues to go beautifully for Placebo. Due to demand for the band, (and perhaps a shrinking audience for the final act, She Wants Revenge) the line up has now been changed in order to have Placebo headlining every date for the rest of the USA tour.

With thanks to the gracious Pauline, here are some great shots taken on 26th October 2006 @ Seattle.
