Easily the poster-band for Eurotrash, Alcazar have been through several member changes over the past 10 years but still continue to pump out the hits despite this. Two of the original members, Andreas and Tess are still around and are currently joined by Lina to make up Alcazar as of 2009.
Their latest release, Last Christmas, is a cover of the Christmas classic. As always, they manage to add their typical Alcazar flare to the track and the video is phenomenal. As campy and trashy as they come - it's pure gold! The single has been released as part of a re-release of their latest album, Disco Defenders.
In being the premier band for eurotrash, Alcazar have released quite the line-up of hits over the past few years. If you're unfamiliar they are definitely worth a listen. They've topped the charts all over Europe and have been contestants in Melodifestivalen to represent Sweden at Eurovision on three separate occasions - 2003, 2005 and this past year in 2009. They've come very close - with two 3rd place finishes in their first two efforts (Not A Sinner Nor A Saint and Alcastar respectively) and were 5th with Stay The Night last March.
Below find a link to the video for Last Christmas along with live performances of Stay The Night and Physical. Burning was a recent release in the UK although only reaching #40 on the dance charts. Download links for all of the above along with one of their biggest hits in Sweden, This Is The World We Live In, are below as well! Lots of links - but all worth their viewing!!!
Merry Christmas and ENJOY!
