Bloc Party

rynne:
I got this album.  Personally, I'm thinking they're getting a over-hyped.  I think they have a number of great songs, and the album is incredibly solid, but I don't feel they're the *great* band a lot of people are making them out to be.

The album is a good listen and I'll probably check them out on the US tour, but I'm not blown away in the way I was with, say, Franz Ferdinand.

The Popo:

--- Quote from: Oerdin ---Checking the concert schedule it looks like they're playing the Troubador in LA on the 23 but that concerts sold out.  It looks like there next gig in my area will be the Coachella Valley Music Festival at the end of April.  :(

Never the less the line up looks pretty damn good:

Saturday, April 30th
Coldplay
Bauhaus
Cocteau Twins
Weezer
Chemical Brothers
Wilco
Snow Patrol
Keane
Rilo Kiley
Doves
Secret Machines
Spoon
Radio 4
Razorlight
Eisley
Ambulance LTD
Bloc Party

Sunday, May 1st
Nine Inch Nails
New Order
Gang of Four
Bright Eyes
The Faint
The Arcade Fire
British Sea Power
Dresden Dolls
Fiery Furnaces
Tegan and Sara
Stereophonics
Autolux
The Bravery
The Futureheads
Kasabian

I'm mostly interested in Wilco, Weezer, Bloc Party, New Order, The Arcade Fire, British Sea Power, and The Dresden Dolls. Of course those are all on different days so I'd have to buy a $150 two day pass instead of the $80 one day pass.  Still, it wouldn't be so bad if I could get a cheap enough room and convince a few of my old college friends to come alone.

I'd go to Coachella just for Wilco. If I had the ability to have children, I'd steal Jeff Tweedy's seed.

And if you like them, you'll love New Rhodes (Bloc Party sure do!)

Their second single 'You've Given Me Something That I Can't Give Back came out last monday and reached no 38 in the charts yesterday (no. 4 in the indie charts) :)

I've seen NR a couple of times. One of the girls I work with knows Jack personally through some obsure marching band connection. She hooked me up with some of the old recordings from the just plain Rhodes days too. I was overjoyed when they made the charts. :)

Hairy Joe Bob:
My mate thinks Kele sounds like Damon Albarn. I don't agree, but does anyone else?

Cpt.Fantastic:
Meh.
Baby likes Bloc Party.
Baby likes the Bravery more though.
