Kele

[abu hamster]

Heard some tracks from his album earlier tonight and was impressed Is he anygood live?

[sizzlefee]

His new single is fantastic!

I will be seeing him this year at glasto!

Where did you hear the other tracks?

[Badlands]

He was on Zane Lowe tonight.

Sounded pretty good. I'm not a massive fan normally.

He was on about 8.15 so it'll be an hour and a quarter in!!

I'm a massive Bloc Party fan, and i'm a massive fan of Kele's solo stuff as well. Not seeing him at Glasto though, it's going to be extremely rammed, going to wait until he tours and see him at my local.

[RichieSpenno]

Clashes with Snoop don't he? Think I'll just catch him at Leeds.

[LondonTom]

Defo going catch him, his stuff is great! And its before Ellie so want a good spot for her

[themuel]

He did a great interview in Attitude last month, seems like a really nice guy.

[NeilVJ]

I think he is an excellent song writer and sounds good on record but is awful live. He doesn't have the voice nor personality to work as a live front man in my opinion.

I saw bloc party for the first time at melt last year. I am a massive fan and thought they were class.

I'm going to Parklife in Manchester on saturday, where he is headlining one of the tents, so will go and watch him then, as chances are I'll miss him at Glasto.

I think he was awesome with Bloc Party and his solo single sounds brilliant too.

I met him at a Bjork gig and the Hammersmith Apollo and he is nice bloke. Stopped and chatted for a while. Very cool.

He f**king crashed and burnt at Glasto last year in the banter stakes. Truly cringeworthy.

"I've been to Glastonbury a few times as a punter and never liked it before (boooooos).... UNTIL NOW! (waiting for cheers that didn't really materialise)"

Yeah mate, hilarious that. You f**king prick.

There are a few songs on that album which I wish were the Bloc Party of Silent Alarm song's. I prefer this to the last Bloc Party album at least

I was just standing there the whole time thinking they were good, but so out of their depth in a slot like that. Nowhere near good enough.

They're obviously really skilled musicians and so forth, but there's just no personality there at all. Almost like the Michael Owen of the music world.

[FloorFiller]

I've always found him abit of a bell! He was moaning when I saw him at Leeds in 2008 that they hadn't been offered to headline there yet! Pah!

[plaskins]

ha that was laughable

and then said "we won't be back for a few years, and hopefuly by then we'll headline" only to return as second down the following year

[rexclark]

I can't wait to see him at Leeds, his solo stuff is fantastic.

[4AssedMonkey]

Boloc Party and Kele's solo stuff don't really do anything for me. And I've yet to see/hear any live stuff from them where his voice stacks up. Always sounds off key and like it's about to crack. My brother bough the current NME for the piece on the Rage gig and I read the Kele interview. Comes across as a bit of an egomaniac cock to me.

[chuckley]

clashes with snoop so ill have to see him on local tour. GUTTED tho. i bet his set will be classssssssss!

I read that and it pretty much confirmed, along with the fact that his solo tracks are pretty pish, that I won't be watching. What an unbearable c**t.

[sizzlefee]

Well I for one am really looking forward to his set and I really like his new single as well as the couple of other tracks I have heard. I am becoming quite eclectic in my taste for music at the moment and for some reason his music is almost a combination of what I like at the moment.

From what I have read about him he isn't necessarily a nob but more of a quiet person who doesn't really enjoy fame and the status that comes with being the lead single (or ex lead singer) of quite a popular band.

I will be definately checking him out at Glasto and also buying The Boxer next Monday!

[radiohea_d]

Not into his solo stuff. I'd like it if something like TENDERONI came on in a club, but wouldn't miss snoop or pay to see him tour
