<p class="p2">Hailed as Canada’s new indie champs&nbsp;(with Tegan and Sara now decidedly&nbsp;mainstream), Alvvays is back in Hong&nbsp;Kong after wooing crowds at last year’s&nbsp;Clockenflap Festival. Their latest album,&nbsp;<em>Antisocialites</em>, may be the most un-&nbsp;Hong Kong name around, but this won’t&nbsp;stop these mighty alt-rockers from&nbsp;delivering one of the more unique concert&nbsp;experiences on offer to 852 hipsters this&nbsp;year. Beg, steal or borrow a ticket and bop&nbsp;along to such peerless dreamy pop as <em>Not&nbsp;My Baby</em>, <em>Dreams Tonite</em> and <em>Archie Marry&nbsp;Me</em>. Go on. You know you want to. <em>This&nbsp;</em><em>Town Needs, 6 Shung Shun St, Yau Tong.&nbsp;</em><em>HK$470.</em><a href="https://www.ticketflap.com/alvvays"><b> ticketflap.com</b></a></p>
