Elbow will make a much anticipated and welcome return to Australia for four special shows.
Fellow Brits and special guests, Bombay Bicycle Club, join Elbow on tour in what will be their first Australian shows. Tickets go on sale 9am Tuesday December 6 2011.
Elbow’s return visit follows quickly after four performances last July, including sold out shows in Melbourne and Sydney and a set at the Splendour in the Grass festival.
The band's graceful, luch orchestral sounds – a gently sublime mix of the intricately elegant, poignant and elative rousing crescendos – serve up stunning renditions from their five album repertoire. Up front, Guy Harvey fills the room with his angelic vocals, undeniable stage presence and natural charisma; his between-song banter building a rapport between band and audience.
2011 marks Elbow's 20th anniversary and the release of their fifth studio album, Build a Rocket Boys.
Build a Rocket Boys follows debut album Asleep in the Back, Cast of Thousands, Leaders of the Free World and their fourth album, the 2008 Mercury Music Prize winning The Seldom Seen Kid.
North London band Bombay Bicycle Club, opening for Elbow at all shows, have released three albums in as many years.
Winning a competition to perform at V Festival while still at school, the youthful band released their gold debut album, I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose, in 2009. The band have build a fiercely loyal UK fan base, to which they're about to add a whole lot more Australians.
Where: Thebarton Theatre, 112 Henley Beach Rd, Torrensville
When: Thursday 22 March 2012
Tickets on sale at Venuetix from 9am Tuesday 6 December 2011.
