Lasers, glow sticks and naked men – Friendly Fires bring the party to Hong Kong!
On Tuesday night Friendly Fires set the Rotunda alight with their enthusiastically energetic debut performance in Hong Kong. The Mercury Music prize – British nominated electro-pop trio were on form with a 14 song set list which started on a high with Lovesick from the new album Pala and delivered on every single track during the hour long gig. Lead singer Ed Macfarlane made the Rotunda his playground, throwing himself into the audience and climbing up onto rigging to engage the already excitable fans.
Guitarist Edd Gibson also put in a performance which I swear could only have come from drinking a crate of red bull – the energy the band had was intoxicating and would have won over any sceptics that were present that night. Fans were thrilled to hear favourite tracks Paris and Skeleton Boy, taken from the first album Friendly Fires, so much so some men needed to lose their shirts and become one with the lasers.
Glow sticks rained down on the raving revellers during Show Me Lights and Jump in the Pool really got the crowd going while the encore of Hawaiian Air was a perfect come down after a show stopping performance from the three British boys.
