Pretenders

In September 2012, The Pretenders graced the stage at the KITEC Star Hall in Kowloon for a lively performance that captured the essence of the band’s enduring charm. This concert came just after the release of their album 'Breaking Up the Girl' in 2011, which reflected their continued evolution in sound, blending rock with pop melodies. During this period, frontwoman Chrissie Hynde was celebrated not just for her iconic voice but also for her unapologetic songwriting, marking her as a true icon of rock. The live recording showcases the tight dynamics of the band, melding their classic hits with newer tracks, demonstrating how they’ve managed to keep their spirit alive across decades. It’s fascinating how this performance fits into their broader narrative, reminding us of their rich legacy in the music world while also being vividly relevant in the modern music scene.
