Eerdere winnaars van deze award zijn onder anderen DJ John Peel, Massive Attack, U2, New Order / Joy Division, Primal Scream, Manic Street Preachers, The Cure, Paul Weller, Dave Grohl, Noel Gallagher, Johnny Marr, Blondie, Suede en Coldplay.quote:The award recognizes and rewards their hugely successful career, during which they have consistently produced some of the most ambitious, intelligent and bold pop music around.
Since meeting in an electronics shop in Chelsea, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have released 13 Top 10 studio albums and 22 Top 10 singles, including ‘West End Girls’, ‘Always On My Mind’ and ‘Go West’. They have collaborated with and influenced an array of music’s biggest stars, such as The Killers, Madonna, Lady Gaga and Daft Punk.
“We’re really happy to win NME’s Godlike Genius award and we’re looking forward to playing at the awards show this year,” Pet Shop Boys said of receiving the honour. The band will close the ceremony with a performance including tracks from throughout their 36-year career.
NME’s editor-in-chief Mike Williams said: “For three decades, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have been pushing the boundaries of pop music, releasing a series of consistently excellent singles and albums and working to blur the boundaries between art, music and social commentary.
“Their influence on pop culture is undeniable and the list of artists they’ve worked with is a mini rock ’n’ roll hall of fame. Pet Shop Boys’ stage performances and festival shows are never anything short of spectacular, and we’re honoured that our latest Godlike Geniuses will grace the Brixton stage for an extra-special set of hits to close the VO5 NME Awards 2017.”
Neil en Chris reageerden enigszins verbaasd toen bleek dat het nieuws al op straat lag...quote:A recent writing session helped put things in perspective. “I felt like I didn’t want to write about politics simply because I felt like I should, but then last week I wrote a song with the Pet Shop Boys. It’s inspired by a fairground in Margate called Dreamland, but while I was writing it, Neil Tennant said to me: ‘This makes sense right now with Trump closing the borders,’ and the song became something that touched on what’s going on in the world. I’d write lyrics and he’d say: ‘No, it needs to be more direct.’ He’d take a simple line and interject a subversive political statement. That’s the challenge as a pop writer, to do both at once.”
Bron: https://www.popjustice.co(...)g-you-over-the-head/quote:I saw Olly from Years & Years the other day — he was very excited about ‘Dreamland’, the song you recently wrote together inspired by a fairground in Margate.
Chris: Hang on, that’s not public knowledge is it?
He told me in an interview. It is officially ‘out there’.
Neil: HE’S ANNOUNCED IT! You see, people from the 80s keep everything secret as a matter of course. Whereas now people talk about everything as a matter of course. Our instinct would be not to even confirm we’d written it. It’s a fantastic song. If one says so oneself. I’ve been singing it non-stop since last Friday. It’s quite soulful, but it’s a stomper.
He was saying that under your tutelage he’d found more confidence to include political elements in the song.
Neil: Well when it started off, the lyrics were a bit cheesy, mostly written by me, then he put a line in and then we thought that actually the idea of a dreamland could be about refugees.
Chris: Hang on — I just thought it was about going to a fairground in Margate! (Outraged once again) You’ve ruined it for me now. I don’t want any depth through surface. I only want surface. A shiny surface, at that.

Het is inderdaad aan de prijzige kant. Ik ken meerdere mensen die, net als ik, dit concert aan zich voorbij laten gaan. Komt ook omdat het feitelijk gewoon dezelfde show is als vorig jaar. Volgens mij is het sowieso een unicum dat de Pet Shop Boys met dezelfde show twee jaar op rij naar Nederland komen.quote:

Support-bandje? Je bedoelt die paar muzikanten op het podium die doen alsof ze wat toetsen en percussie toevoegen?quote:Op vrijdag 31 maart 2017 08:04 schreef linebear het volgende:

Warner Music has informed us that the imminent launch of the forthcoming series of reissued albums, Nightlife, Release and Fundamental, has to be delayed because more time is needed to set up the global releases. Full track-listings and pre-order details will now be announced in mid-June.
