Asleep In The Back Movie

Asleep In The Back Movie

elbow’s ‘Asleep In The Back’ movie is being made available on YouTube for the first time. Originally released on DVD in 2009 with the deluxe CD edition of ‘Asleep In The Back’, the film was compiled by long time collaborators Soup Collective who documented the entire album campaign, bringing together videos for the singles, with home movies from the band’s time on tour. The movie features exclusive live footage, including Guy’s memorable stalling during a technical breakdown at a show in Glasgow. 

‘elbow – Asleep In The Back Movie’ premieres on elbow’s YouTube channel tonight at 7pm. Watch it here.
