Three-piece tribute act recreating the synth-pop hits of Pet Shop Boys at MK11.
Pet Shop Boys. Actually play MK11 on Sunday 20 December, a tribute to the pop duo. It's a three-piece act with more than 25 years of experience, and they describe the show as 'The Ultimate Tribute' to the Pet Shop Boys.
The set works its way through a 40-year back catalogue, so it reaches well beyond the early hits. You'll hear the songs that made them famous — 'Go West', 'It's A Sin', 'Always On My Mind', 'West End Girls' and 'Suburbia' — but the night doesn't stop there, and the crowd usually spends a good part of it singing along. The sound is built on the signature synth-pop of the 1980s, and the performance leans on authentic costumes and live backing vocals to recreate the duo's pop legacy.
It's a tribute act, not the original duo, so the whole thing is a recreation rather than a new record. The three performers bring their own take to the material, and with over two decades of doing this, they've got the set down to a science. The costumes and the backing vocals are part of the draw, and the focus is on the songs people know by heart.
