Bloc Party - R&L's first house band

[dentalplan]

Genesis were the first R+L house band.

[mrtourette]

The title of this thread is a lie.

 

I don't pay much attention to R/L, but Placebo have been at least as much of a house band as Bloc Party might be, and there's probably others too,

Yeah the title is bullshit, there have been 'house bands' before Bloc Party. I think it was just an attempt at relevance to post something about Bloc Party.

I think it was just an attempt at relevance to post something about Bloc Party.

I did get a tad over excited.

 

Then I found out its not really even Bloc Party.

Well the new song is interesting

[Gucci Piggy]

Will listen later. My mate said it sounds like a robot having sex with a penguin.

[lightning1000]

It sounds like a five year old has found his grandads Casio keyboard and decided to have a go on it.

[Gucci Piggy]

Bloody hell what was that

[benus80]

But after seeing them on TV and radio as part of 6 music sessions I was impressed how good they are live even of member changes. So i can not wait to see them at next years reading.  

[lightning1000]

In other news, the new editors album is awful too.

[VCK]

Kasabian should have subbed instead of them in 2009.

[dentalplan]

Fucking hell.

How the fuck did the video manage to be worse than the song?

[dentalplan]

Kele in that video

[Gucci Piggy]

Pre-sale doesn't look to be selling too well. I'm gonna hold off on tickets until I've heard more new songs and seen footage of the new lineup. If it ends up selling out and I can't find a ticket anywhere they'll almost certainly be at Glasto anyway, I guess.

I've seen footage. I stay noided.

[dentalplan]

Actually better live. Still bollocks though. Told y'all there'd be a dance.

[Amy Lawn]

Is James Corden a big thing in the US now? I suppose if it keeps him away from me then I'm in favour of it. Bloc Party no longer exist to me, I'm ignoring them.

[Mash011]

Thought about going to see them on tour but hearing that awful song again has put me off a bit... Drenge being there is a big draw too, though.

[dentalplan]

Meh. Drenge play everywhere.

[Mash011]

Meh. Drenge play everywhere.

No doubt, seen them three times already but they're always very fun.

[conroy17]

£28 on ticketmaster?? bun that

[foolee]

Booked tickets for Southampton, good lineup with Drenge and Bloc Party so worth the money. Just hoping for a fair amount of tunes from Silent Alarm/A Weekend In The City as they're both top albums.

After quite a few listens the new song has grown on me, thought it was terrible at first but now it's not too bad. Not classic Bloc Party but still okay.

[FloorFiller]

another new one. still sounds nothing like the Bloc Party of old. not really sure what to make of it... it's just a bit bland. not boding well for this new album

 

[Luke Routledge]

Going to see bloc party tomorrow but have no idea who is supporting. Google has not been my friend! 

[LondonTom]

Yeah its a really odd track, like the last one there a little glimpses of the old bloc party and the makings of a good track...but it just goes widly wrong somewhere. I am not optimistic for the album anymore
