There is? Ooo! Tour dates maybe? Having said that, they do like their free downloads.

EDIT: There's a facebook app for it too now.

They are one of my favourite bands ever. According to my last.fm #2.
They were the ones to get me really into British indie and post-punk. Pretty genial, I definetley want to see them live.
SRXT makes me wanna cry. Sunday makes me wanna love. So does Blue Light. Flux and The Prayer make me wanna dance. And Helicopter and Pioneers just make me want to form a band so badly. And Plans makes me think about my future. I totally adore them, right now writing that I realized how much I really love them.

SRXT is the best thing they've ever recorded. I didn't fully appreciate it until I had heard it live, it truly is an awesome (and I don't use that word often) song.

Words can't describe my love for Bloc Party.

Or my shock that we didn't have a thread for them before now.

Definitely a major bloc head! Silent Alarm has gotten me through some truly rough times. Weekend in The City is also incredibly under rated in my opinion. The way I see it Silent Alarm is like the best night out of your life album, while Week in The City is like the pleasant hangover day with your girlfriend watching Black Books sort of album. The next one is going to be a mix apparently, as Jack Knife Lee and Paul Epworth are both involved. I've heard rumors it's going to released this year, though I highly doubt it.

God bless Bloc Party!

I watch avidly for something to happen.

How annoying would it be if it went into negative figures?

That's more acceptable lol. I thought it was just a countdown to say they'd play Zane Lowe with their old stuff.

Well, I barely listen to radio, but I might just tune in for that.

Are they doing it live or is it the actual single?

And it was only a DJ set...

The second album took me a while to get into, but now I really like it.
Live they're superb, Song For Clay is possibly the best live opener :)
Also, they had the Rakes supporting. Thus making them amazing.

And also gorgeous.

Also Kele had the most wonderfullest top ever on, which I then ordered from America the next day :)

I remember seeing them on, it must've been the Glasto coverage from last year. And frankly they looked a bit shite.

But they rocked Ally Pally :)
