Pet Shop Boys: 14 September 2009 - Chicago

By Lisa Torem

Two slender figures wearing cubes over their heads, clothed in red and blue frocks, and playing tiny brass instruments walk towards a small piano. [2 October 2009]

Pet Shop Boys: Yes

By John Bergstrom

Finally, a superproducer/veteran pairing that yields dividends. Sorry, PETA, Pet Shop Boys aren't going anywhere. [21 April 2009]

Pet Shop Boys: Cubism [DVD]

By Adam Besenyodi

While Stop Making Sense remains the gold-standard of concert films, Cubism will leave you feeling like you've actually been to a Pet Shop Boys concert. [16 August 2007]

Pet Shop Boys: Somewhere [DVD]

The real story with Pet Shop Boys and with Somewhere is the music, and on that point the show is flawless. [13 December 2004]
