12RX036 Obscure
Episode 37
Thursday, 26 March, 2026
With Pet Shop Boys preparing to dive deep into their catalogue for five intimate Obscure shows at Camden’s Electric Ballroom, Graham and Chris roll up their sleeves for their most forensic fan investigation yet: can two amateurs really predict the ultimate non‑singles setlist? First they uncover the historical clues - the 40th anniversary of Please and a rediscovered 1986 photoshoot - before following the evidence to the duo’s early‑80s Camden stomping ground and a 1984 Pits and Perverts benefit, the Barfly’s legendary 200‑capacity War Child fundraiser, and the Electric Ballroom’s own independent wrestling pedigree. From there, they plunge into the outer edges of the Tennant/Lowe universe: Further Listening deep cuts, lost intros, 28‑minute Bobby O experiments, Japanese / Czech collaborations, and the question of which Pet Shop Boys track is the most obscure ever. Along the way they weigh up fan favourites, Radio 2 poll results, Chris Lowe’s own 2008 fantasy setlist, dream merch ideas, and the songs their own In Depth listeners most want to hear. What emerges is a gloriously over‑engineered, spreadsheet‑driven, “scientific” prediction of the Obscure setlist - complete with debates about staging, guests, new arrangements, and whether or not the shows will see them strip back to just two men and a very dependable laptop. Part history lesson, part detective story, part love letter to Pet Shop Boys’ deepest cuts - this is the perfect warm‑up for the most anticipated Pet Shop Boys concerts in decades.
