What. A. Joyyyyy!
I found out that one of my favorite English indie bands is coming to Asia for a concert tour! The XX was formed in London Wandsworth around 2005 and released their debut album in 2009 – which is around the same time when I discovered their smoky, dreamy music over YouTube.
The first track that I heard when I found out about them was Heart Skipped a Beat. True to the song’s lyrics, I fell in love with their music and style in a heartbeat!
My current favorite piece is “Angels.” I loved it when they performed this song live at Tiny Desk Concerts. You may catch that beautiful episode HERE courtesy of NPR Music.
I am planning to see their leg at The Star in Singapore since: 1) it is near the Philippines, 2) I have friends who reside there (where I can hopefully crash in during my stay), and 3) it will be held there on August – which will give me enough time to plan and save up.
Are you a fan too? Which Asian leg are you planning to go to? ( :
UPDATE! UPDATE!
No need to fly to Singapore because they managed to squeeze in MANILA! They will be performing at the NBC Tent on July 30! Woohooooooo!!!
