Elbow

During the live performance of "lippy kids" on "Later... with Jools Holland" in January 2011, Elbow was experiencing significant acclaim following the release of their fourth studio album, "Build a Rocket Boys!" in March 2011. This album marked a vital point in Elbow's career, as they were fresh from the success of their previous release, "The Seldom Seen Kid," which had won the Mercury Prize in 2008, elevating their profile significantly. The performance also took place shortly after announcing their next album, "The Take Off and Landing of Everything," highlighting the band's anticipation and momentum at this stage. Known for their emotive lyrics and orchestral arrangements, Elbow's sound was becoming increasingly popular, and the live recording captures their evolution into a festival headliner and a staple of British rock music.
