Message from Bloc Party
"Thanks to everyone who turned up for the U.K. Marshals tour. The band had a great time and we hope you all enjoyed the chance to hear some new material. We will see you all again in August. Hopefully we will be able to confirm more Marshals dates later in the year. All being well, this will include some dates outside the U.K."
Bloc Party are now going into the studio to record a new song with producer Jacknife Lee, who has previously worked with U2 and Snow Patrol. The track they're doing is currently titled 'It Started In An Afternoon' and was premiered on the Manchester date of the fan club tour.
Steve Dub, with whom the band recently recorded a new song called 'Day One', is the other name on the shortlist. Once the recording session with Jacknife Lee is completed, Bloc Party will choose which producer to make the album with.
However, before the recording of the LP proper begins, Bloc Party will head back to the practise room to write a few more new songs...looks like being on tour gave them a new spurt of creativity!
Also, for any guitar geeks out there, the band have recently added some new axes to their arsenal, including a Fender Jaguar (Russell), a Fender Stratocaster (Russell), a Custom Rickenbacker bass (Gordy) and a Gretsch Tennessee Rose (Kele)!
