PAY TV

Pay TV changed the sound of the Eurovision Song Contest forever when they

presented their song Trendy Discotheque at the Swedish part of the contest

2004. Although they didnt win, the song became a major hit in Sweden and made

many devoted underground electroclash fans angry by presenting this kind of

music in such a mainstream context as the Eurovision Song Contest.



Pay TV consists of the three glamour girls Chanelle, Claudia and Neena. They

had never performed together as a group before the song Trendy Discoteque was

written for them, but they had met many times at various clubs and exclusive

shops around Europe. When they heard the song they imediately understood that

it was ment for them, it was a perfect reflection of their lifestyle, moral

and values.



Chanelle used to be a model at one of the most repected agencies in Milan, she

did numerous of jobs for commercials and glossy fashion magazines. In a TV add

for an Italian brand of toothpaste she was asked to sing the funny toothpaste

song and then discovered that she had a lovely voice.



Claudia graduated from Peckham Ryes School of Business in 1998 but didnt

start work at the London Stock Exchange as most of her school mates. Instead

she started her own import/export company and at the same time she was

involved in the South East London theater and musical scene.



Neena had a musical career before Pay TV when she formed her punk band bambi-

sluts in Berlin in the late 90s. They gained reputation for their wild stage

performances, but were constantly missunderstood and never got a record

contract.



The dynamic trio met at a party in Munic and then stayed close friends. When

they were offered to perform Trendy Discoteque it all became obvoius for them,

they suddenly had a purpose in life, they were ment to be superstars.



When they perform a song in the Eurovision Song Contest for the second year in

a row , there is no longer any doubt; Pay-tv will be as big as Madonna and The

Sex Pistols, as Brittney Spears and Kraftwerk, all at once.
