As a kid of the 80s, the Pet Shop Boys were one of those bands that were always there. They came on the scene with West End Girls and made a massive impression with this cool, moody song that had so much depth.

Pet Shop Boys – England’s best-selling musical duo – are back on the road, and they haven’t lost a beat. Formed in 1981, the Boys are at an age where they could easily kick back and enjoy the fruits of their 14 studio albums.
