Upcoming CDs for Spring!



Fresh from the REMEMBER THE EIGHTIES.COM website, it looks like both the Pet Shop Boys and Bananarama are readying new CDs to drop this Spring... It'll be the first new full-length CD from PSB in five years, and the 'Nanas will be comprised of new music as well as covers of vintage disco anthems. Their take on the Andrea True Connection's MORE MORE MORE a decade ago was pretty brilliant, so this bodes well for them. Any stateside success for these projects is questionable, especially coming on the heels of Bananarama's DRAMA CD from a few years back, which failed to connect despite a few club hits. PSB continue to garner critical acclaim and UK success, but, again, the US is even tougher to crack now than it was when they first hit the Top-10. We'll see...
