British post-modern synth pop that's sold 50 million records world wide, earning the award, from the Guinness Book of World Records no less, of being the most accomplished English duo in the history of U.K. music. Consisting of Neil Tennant on vocals and Chris Lowe on keyboards the Pet Shop Boys got their start in 1981 and by 1986 had claimed their first number one single with a remix of their own "West End Girls." . Other Pet Shop Boys smash hits read like a laundry list of 3 decades of pop. "Heart", "Go West", "It's a Sin" and "Always on My Mind" to name a few. Brings back memories doesn't it? More recent times have seen the boys record live concerts, a double album ballet titled "The Most Incredible Thing" and even play the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games! 2013 promises to be a lightning charged year for Pet Shop Boy fans. Naming their world tour "Electric" there's dates scheduled from the U.K. to Europe and then across the world to Brazil and beyond!
