Quoting: TouretteSyndromeBarbie I'm still relatively new to Bloc Party so wondered what everyone else thinks about them?

Newbie like you, but I think, you should have your own opinion. :)

Bloc Party perform at Berlin airport

warby — Oct 25 2008 01:41:00

Bloc Party have performed a gig inside the dining lounge of Berlin's Tempelhof International Airport. The hour-long set ran through 14 tracks, including 'Mercury', 'One Month Off' and 'Halo' from their new album Intimacy. Speaking to NME about the performance, bass player Gordon Moakes said: "It was quite exciting when we first walked in and saw the runway right next to us. "Weirdly, it actually reminds me of the Academy 3 in Birmingham a bit! In terms of the stage size, anyway. But the building itself is a lot better than that. It reeks of old Germany." The airport will close next weekend to be replaced by the Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport.

Bloc Party played Reading Festival tonight (August 23) just days after releasing third album 'Intimacy'. The band released the album as a download on Thursday (21), making their Main Stage appearance their first gig since it became available. Marking the occasion, frontman Kele Okereke started the show with a short speech saying it had been a few weeks of "new members, new babies and a new record" - referring to bassist Gordon Moakes, who is on extended paternity leave and his stand-in Daniel Lindegren - before adding that "I have one more thing to say", and broke into the opening line of recent single 'Mercury'

I think they're pretty good, there's a lot of variety to them. I like where they're going with the likes of "Flux".

I think that it's one of the worst bands nowadays, I don't like their music, Flux is the more decent of all their tunes.
