Bournemouth BIC, 31.10.09
Bloctober rolled to a close last night in Matt's old stomping ground, Bournemouth. The band came back onstage after the interval dressed up for Halloween...if anyone has any good photos, please send them over! Apparently Kele was a banana...
Bloctober rolled to a close last night in Matt's old stomping ground, Bournemouth. The band came back onstage after the interval dressed up for Halloween...if anyone has any good photos, please send them over! Apparently Kele was a banana...
That pretty much wraps up Bloc Party's touring duties in support of 'Intimacy'. The band have made it clear that they're going to be taking a break now before starting the fourth album, after touring/recording relentlessly for the past five years. It's less than clear when the band will swing back into action, but rest assured that news will appear here when it happens (and in the meantime various goodies such as the ultimate Bloc Party archive, currently being lovingly crafted over on Always New Depths). Don't be too long guys...!
Looking frightfully dashing...(thanks to Chris Hart for the photo!)

Great Northern Hotel, Byron Bay, Australia, 24.07.09
Secret gig performing as 'The Silent Alarms'! Video footage below...
Report from NME.com:
Bloc Party played a secret gig in the pub area of the Great Northern Hotel in Byron Bay, Australia tonight (July 24). The band, warming up for their appearance at the Splendour In The Grass festival tomorrow (July 25), played for 400 fans and were billed as 'The Silent Alarms' – after the title of their 2005 debut album 'Silent Alarm'.
In fact the set was influenced by the temporary name, with Bloc Party playing the whole of the aforementioned first LP, plus 'Two More Years' and 'The Marshals Are Dead'. "They billed us as 'The Silent Alarms' so we decided to live up to the name," frontman Kele Okereke explained from the stage. "We're here in the most beautiful part of Australia and we wanted to do something special for you."

[Review]
I am still speechless. Ottawa crowds have a tendency to be pretty unenthusiastic, a lot of people were sitting in the balcony for the first half of the set. It wasn't until 'Mercury' when Kele made his way through the crowd that everyone really started to get into it and show some enthusiasm. After 'This Modern Love', Matt called Kele over to his set and pointed in the direction of me and my friend, who had been dancing like fools in the front row the entire time. Then they start 'The Prayer', by which point Matt comes down from his set and the next thing I know he has grabbed my arms and heaved me on to the stage. Kele pulls up my friend. A bunch of other people took it as an invitation to jump up on the stage, which was cool and we had a dance party on the stage during 'The Prayer'. After that, the crowd was insane, unlike anything I had seen at that venue before. Tonight was possibly one of the most thrilling shows I have ever attended and I hope they come back soon...

Berlin - Tempelhof International Airport, 23.10.08
[Setlist]
Gig report from NME.com...
Bloc Party played a one-off gig inside Berlin's historic Tempelhof International Airport last night (October 23rd). Taking to the stage in Tempelhof's dining lounge shortly after 10pm, Bloc Party played an hour-long set in full view of the airport's runway.
The band, who release new album 'Intimacy' physically next Monday (October 27th), were in jubilant mood throughout the gig. During 'Mercury', singer Kele Okereke burst through security staff into the crowd to sing. Despite being mobbed by fans, Okereke managed to make his way to the sound desk, which he proceeded to stand upon until the end of the song.
Drummer Matt Tong also used the gig to practise his German. Tong, who lives in Berlin, jokingly ordered a latte from the stage before admitting that he hadn't had time to learn the language properly. Shortly after the gig, Bloc Party bassist Gordon Moakes told NME.COM that the band were impressed by the gig venue, saying it was "surreal" to play in such a strange setting. "It was quite exciting when we first walked in and saw the runway right next to us," he said. "Weirdly, it actually reminds me of the Academy 3 in Birmingham a bit! In terms of the stage size, anyway. But the building itself is a lot better than that. It reeks of old Germany."
Despite the success of the gig, it is almost certain that the event will be a one-off, as Tempelhof is set to close for good next week (October 30), and will be replaced by the new Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport.

Read a review of this tiny gig and see some photos here! During the encore, Kele did a spot of crowd surfing and also managed to lose his in-ear monitors in the process. If you picked them up, send a message ASAP to lostandfound@blocparty.com and you'll receive two guestlist places for one of the Glasgow gigs next year.

Skeleton (!!!)
The band came back on for a second encore and Kele gave the microphone to the fans at the front, saying they'd play whatever song was said first. To the relief of many, the first fan responded by chanting "Skeleton!". Well done that man...may you go down in the history books as the person who finally persuaded Bloc Party to perform 'Skeleton' live again. Watch some video evidence below...
