The XX Live in Hong Kong

So I just came back from The XX concert and I was sooo close to tears. If I didn't stop myself, I would have teared while singing my heart out to their songs. Okay, I'm pretty emotional but the only times I've wanted to cry to a band was this and when Coldplay did the closing ceremony for paralympics in London! 

Although the ticket said the show started at 7pm, doors opened around 730pm and we had to listen to a random DJ play till 9. Then they were busy setting up the place for a long time before The XX came on at 915pm. They appeared like in a dream, coming out in white flashing lights and then you hear Romy's husky deep voice which sounds wayyyy better live! Oliver, who was on bass, kept moving slowly to the sexy bass beat and often would stare at Romy in a little guitar face off. Seeing Jamie XX mix music live was amazing because you'd see him play all types of instruments and DJ at the same time.

I spammed 10 videos on instagram, trying to keep the precious moments of that hour with me. (To watch more, click on my name on the video!) I throughly enjoyed losing myself in their music and probably what contributed to a good atmosphere was the sense of freedom with the standing tickets, alcohol and smoking going on in the place. In Singapore, you seat down, can't smoke and are not allowed to bring drinks in.

Funny thing was that many people looked like they were waiting to dance to The XX's music. Hmm, perhaps they should have gone for the after party instead? Anyhow, I was singing to every song so happily, I didn't care being the only crazy one doing so. 

Thank you The XX for the aaaaamazing night. Your music captivates me and brings me into a whole other dimension which is truly inspirational.

Enjoy The XX Singapore!! Two nights of them, whoaaa!
