Kurzbeschreibung:

Placebo ist eine britische Alternative-Rock-Band aus London.

1994 trafen sich Brian Molko (US-Amerikaner/Brite) und Stefan Olsdal (Schwede) zufällig an der U-Bahn-Station South Kensington in London. Beide waren in Luxemburg auf dieselbe Schule gegangen, hatten dort aber kaum Kontakt miteinander gehabt. Molko lud Olsdal zu einem Gig ein, den er mit seinem Schlagzeuger Steve Hewitt bestritt, woraufhin Olsdal sehr angetan von den beiden war und auf Molkos Anfrage in die Band einstieg. Hewitt musste zunächst ausscheiden, da er vertraglich noch bei der Gruppe Breed verpflichtet war. Deswegen engagierten Molko und Olsdal einen Freund von Olsdal, Robert Schultzberg.
