In The Union BLOG PARTY has managed to get hold of two rare video recordings from back in the day, when 'Silent Alarm' was but a twinkle in Kele's eye and the band known as 'Bloc Party' didn't even exist.
These live videos of previously unheard songs 'Chinese Burn' and 'Rivulet' actually date back to when the foursome were known as 'Union', shortly after Matt joined. They were recorded at the same gig as the three videos that were posted in August. Hope you like them...sorry for any video/audio synchronisation issues! [Click on the song titles for lyrics]
These Union songs are AWESOME! It makes me sad that we wont ever hear them professionally recorded. Chinese Burn is just so brilliant and it's interesting to hear where The Pioneers originated.
LOL storm&stress, it's not YOUR account suspended! It's the AND account on the tau.smallorange server. Whoever runs/pays for AND hasn't kept their bills up to date, or something like that.
