Singing For Absolution - Muse in Hong Kong
It's funny how the world works. Only the other day I was complaining to a friend about the lack of musical events here in Guangzhou (or, at least, musical events I'd want to listen to) and that if anyone did come over and play, someone such as Muse for example, I'd buy a ticket in a heartbeat. A couple of weeks later and I'm watching TV when an advert comes on for a concert... Muse are playing in Hong Kong - just two hours away. That's close enough for my prophecy! It took more than a couple of heartbeats, but suffice to say that I'm already booked in and feeling pretty pleased.
According to the site I have this to look forward to:
An Abba gig on the moon. Nice. Sure beats my ears bleeding from the more local Twins concert.
I've no idea what to expect from the concert itself. Hong Kong is not exactly known for it's rock scene, and the concert itself is conspicuously on Lantau Island, far away from civilisation (next door is the airport). Admittedly this is because the Asiaworld Expo centre is located there (where the concert is playing), but I also suspect that Muse's prog-rock warblings may cause a few puzzled looks if it neighboured any civilisation.
Hong Kong here I come (again)!
