For the 3rd year in a row, The Placebo is providing an excuse to mock high school while listening to great bands. And you get to do it all in costume! Yup, it’s the 2006 Punk Prom.
What will this year’s theme be? Who’s gonna play? What’s to eat? It’s all up to you and your co-conspirators. (Here’s some photos of 2005’s Prom of the Dead for inspiration.)

This week we got a couple of mentions in the Arcata Eye. The cover article, featuring a photo of the lovely and hard-working Abe and Julie, talks about our recent presentation to the Arcata Parks and Rec Committee. Recreation Division Manager Karen Diemer says,
“[The Placebo] have certainly done more outreach in the [D St.] neighborhood than any other group… They’re the only youth-directed group providing drug-and-alcohol-free activities for teens, and their goals are still strongly supported by City Council.”
On the scene page, hip mama Jennifer Savage Jen lets us know it’s the rocking Mr. Terrence McNally who makes us blush
“All hail the mighty Placebo ? unquestionably the hardest working non-profit around.”
You can find links to these articles and many more on our Press page
On another subject, if you’re wondering where our myspace page went, ask them not us. It was deleted without warning, allegedly because some body claimed we put stuff up there that wasn’t ours. Not True. Any images, music, or articles on our sites are there by permission of the creators. What’s especially strange is that we didn’t have any files on our myspace page that didn’t belong specifically to The Placebo. We’re trying to get the myspace account back, but don’t hold your breath: they say they’ve already deleted everything that was there.
To our myspace friends: we miss you, come say “hi” here! Leave us a comment.
Empire Squared and The Placebo bring you
