Fresh from winning the Mercury Prize 2008 for latest album, The Seldom Seen Kid, Mancunian quintet Elbow bring their celebratory tour to Uebel & Gefährlich in Hamburg.
Elbow's hugley popular victory seems like just desserts for the band who were first Mercury-nominated for their 2001 debut, Asleep In The Back. The album introduced the band's powerful sonic palette and frontman Guy Garvey's engaging lyrics and uplifting vocals.
Two years later, Cast of Thousands consolidated the group's big sound, before Leaders of the Free World was released to universal acclaim in 2005.
The new album combines bluesy guitar, majestic orchestration and rock power to deliver euphoria and melancholy in equal measure on tracks like new single, The Bones of You.
