Elbow is not without its successes in the States. Their songs have appeared in trailers for major Hollywood films, and Garvey said he and the band would be interested in doing more film work. Last week’s performance on the Santa Monica-based KCRW’s influential “Morning Becomes Eclectic” program, now archived on the radio station’s website, is sure to draw the attention of the film industry.

Elbow is exploring the possibilities of a full U.S. tour later in 2011. “We’re feeling it out,” Garvey said. Several band members have young children, making it difficult for the musicians to be far from home for long. “It’s a long way to come for six weeks not to achieve something.,” he said, adding, “We wish we were here more.”
