    In September 1996, Placebo was riding the wave of their self-titled debut album, which had been released earlier that year. "Nancy Boy," the track they performed on the popular BBC show "Later... with Jools Holland," showcased their distinctive blend of alternative rock and glam influences, contributing to their burgeoning reputation in the music scene. This performance occurred during a pivotal moment in their career, as they were gaining significant traction due to their unique sound and aesthetics, drawing attention for their androgynous style and provocative lyrics. The live rendition of "Nancy Boy" not only highlighted their energetic stage presence but also helped them reach a wider audience, further establishing their status as a defining band of the 1990s alt-rock movement.
