"West End Girls" - West End Girls

For today's post, this is "West End Girls" by West End Girls, a Pet Shop Boys tribute band from Sweden:


The song by West End Girls is a cover of the Pet Shop Boys' debut single "West End Girls, which was originally released in 1984. Being a tribute band, the West End Girls cover Pet Shop Boys songs in their work, with their album Goes Petshopping consisting exclusively of Pet Shop Boys tracks. I'm a fan of the Pet Shop Boys (my parents are, too) and I think the covers that West End Girls have done are fine pieces of music; I hope they do more.

I found out about West End Girls a few years ago when I watched the documentary Pet Shop Boys: A Life in Pop, where they were briefly mentioned. I have posted about the Pet Shops Boys before, most notably in this post and this one.

    Interesting. Pet Shop Boys are coming here at the end of the summer. Never listened to them, though.

      Cool! I think they were in London in the past week but it wasn't convenient to go. :/

      If the tickets weren't so expensive, I'd go and check them out! But $40 for a band I haven't heard, nope. I have other expenses. :(

      That's a shame; $40 is quite a lot of money. :/ Still, I'm fascinated that they're coming to your area!
