Elbow Live in HK!
Mark Tjhung
Our favourite musical body part is coming to Hong Kong. Elbow, the Mercury Prize-winning, ever-present sound of credible post-Brit pop, bring their wistful melodies, hymn-like rock anthems and the smoky, soaring vocals of Guy Garvey to KITEC on Friday July 22, thanks to the folks at Untitled Entertainment.
Their latest album, Build a Rocket Boys, was released earlier this year, going high on world-wide charts. Along with the super 2008’s The Seldom Seen Kid, the album just confirms that, even 20 years after they started up on the streets of Manchester, Elbow is only just getting started. [Insert your own tennis elbow gag here].
Tickets are $480 and will be available on HK Ticketing (3128 8288; hkticketing.com) from June 16.
Time Out will have an interview with the band in coming issues. In the meantime, enjoy some of these. Boom!
