Coachella!

This coming Sunday, Bloc Party end their short U.S. tour by playing at the Coachella Valley Music Festival, a two day event in sunny California.

Those of you lucky enough to be going can check the weather forecast here (looks like a scorcher!) and Bloc Party will be playing in the Outdoor Theatre at 6:00pm Pacific Standard Time. Have fun!

The rest of us will have to make do with recreating the festival at home by following this simple five step plan:

Strip down to minimal, yet fashionable, attire (they don't do jester hats in California!)
Apply copious amounts of sunscreen.
Put beer in microwave to warm for 30 seconds. (disclaimer: do not try this!)
Switch on live webcast.
Sit under sunbed, pour beer, relax.

Alternatively...just watch the webcast! The AT&T blue room will be streaming performances from the festival and, according to the schedule, Bloc Party's set will be shown at 8:00pm PST.

California are 8 hours behind Great Britain, so the Bloc Party webcast should go out at around 4am GMT! If there are any insomniacs, milkmen or postmen who'll be up at that time and might be able to record it...please let me know!

Dammit! The AT&T blue room is only compatible with Windows PCs. How considerate to leave all of us Mac users out of the fun

I really hope they don't include Uniform on the new album. It's a snoozer, the crowd was bored to tears.
