PSB, arriving for their performance in Twickenham
This is surely one the greatest promotional moments ever. Pet Shop Boys, The Greatest Pop Duo In History, in a promotion for the Brits (and in celebration of the CD/DVD release of their Pandemonium Tour), played a house in Twickenham, UK.
This reminds me of the over-the-top 80's MTV promotions in America, when people like John Mellencamp would show up to play in some "small town" backyard. The home owner, Lorraine Sands, was a contest winner, but supposedly had no idea the Boys were showing up to perform in her living room, where they played All Over The World, It's A Sin, West End Girls and, naturally, Suburbia. Neil Tennant said, "The whole point of it was to recreate an arena production, or elements of it anyway, in the intimate environment of a living room.”

Just as I read this, "Too Many People" popped up on shuffle.
Oh, fuck, I have to balance my checkbook again....
Lost on the high street? Well, you would be if you're wearing a box on your head wouldn't you...?!
Brilliant picture and amazing idea. Hurrah Messrs Tennant and Lowe
@Adam: It looks very Doctor Who, that pic!
Hee hee. Love the blog header and the pic. Chris looks like he can't see an effing thing.
