C'era da scometterci: i Simple Minds hanno fatto gi registrare il sold out per il loro concerto del 28 febbraio all'Alcatraz di Milano . Per la band inglese guidata di Jim Kerr si tratta di un evento speciale pensato per riproporre on stage i primi cinque album della discografia della band. Nel 5x5 Live 2012 si ascolteranno in scaletta 5 brani per ciascuno primi 5 album per un concerto di ben due ore e mezza di grandi successi che hanno scritto la storia della [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-12T07:14:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4054682/chip-party-like-its-2009/
If youve been keeping up with your tweets in recent weeks, youll be well aware of a trickle of new albums on the horizon from some very familiar names. So familiar, in fact, the 2012 new release list could just as well be for 2009. A wave of reunion-esque albums are on their way, as band members who have flown the coop trying to make it en seule seem to be quietly sneaking back to their roots. Im lookin at you, Kele Okereke . Bloc Party are not the only [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-10T13:50:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4051507/mixtape-133-by-hunterhsk/

Alex Foxx just tossed us a remix to his favourite Bloc Party track "Flux". It's fantastic and holds on to a real dark, transparent vibe. Completely bringing me back to the pure Bloc Party days of '09. I haven't done a bonus track in ages but at the bottom you can check out my own absolute favourite- Phones' disco edit to the track "Banquet". Follow Foxx for more great remixes. BONUS!

Talk about an Australian hot-streak - All The Lights have catapulted Kele's next (Aus) single "What Did I Do" into the outer atmosphere! The once dubbed out and irregular jam from Kele has been stripped, flattened and mended with a much more refined body. Beautifully soft chords meet a tropical buzz yet still driven with a club-ward approach... easily THE best we've seen heard. Buy on iTunes and support your locals!]]> text/html 2012-01-28T02:24:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4019668/bloc-party-confirm-new-album-for-2012/
Although there have been rumours of the group splitting from awkward studio run-ins to frontman Kele doing his own thing , it has been confirmed on his own Facebook that there will be a Bloc Party album scheduled for 2012. In what seems to be the new-cool, artists have been dropping simple hints on forthcoming albums, from the recent Breakbot tweet to La Roux and her 'sexier' album. 2012 is looking to be an even bigger year [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-25T18:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4013854/bloc-party-never-gets-old-check-out-what-landed-in/

If only AlexxFoxx was usable on Words With Friends. Anyway, something very hypnotic about this one. Might not be for everybody but I'm really feeling this beat and the vocal effects being used. Plus its been too long since I heard anything Bloc Party related. Check out more of this Bristol based DJ's material here .

Photography: Esben Bg Jensen Soo.. 'musigh' is two years old! Thanks for your ongoing support (as always), I'm kind of swamped with exams this month so I don't have time for a mix at the moment, but I will as soon as I finish. As for the song, it's an old Bloc Party favorite of mine, also the only thing that has "two" and "years" in it that I could think of. Cheers!

A few years back, angular dance rock was all the rage. And while we might have moved away from that a bit, it's nice to hear some people still getting their dance-rock on nowadays. Such is the case with the Beautiful View , who will be releasing their debut album, life is beautiful , this week on Requiemme Records . This song features that ringing guitar you might remember from Bloc Party , as wll as a steady pounding rhythm section keeping it moving [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-15T20:17:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3990671/satellite-stories-family/
So it's another chilly Sunday in Chicago and I'm in the mood to do something that 90% of bloggers would probably call me lazy for, then give me a swift kick to the coin purse: post something that was released more than 2 months ago. But you know what? When I found "Family" by Satellite Stories earlier in the week, I seriously played it 7 or 8 times in 30 minutes (hooked). I ventured a listen because the first frame of the video, I actually thought was a life size manikin (it wasn't... but I still think it doesn't look [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-11T21:21:54+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3981735/bloc-party-silent-alarm/
If you haven't yet heard of British indie-rock band Bloc Party , you're in for a treat. Based in London, England, this four-man group rose to fame following the 2005 release of their first studio album " Silent Alarm ," and since then have completed two more full-length albums titled " A Weekend in the City " (2007) and " Intimacy " (2008). Although Bloc Party's later albums were [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-08T18:52:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3974320/bloc-party-new-album-to-be-released-in-2012/
Bloc Partys frontman Kele Okereke recently announced that Bloc Party are back and will be releasing a new album later this year. Kele has previously hinted at this news, but many were left skeptical after the release of his debut solo album'The Boxer' in 2010, and the announcement that he was too busy with his solo career.

the KELE OKEREKE has confirmed that the BLOC PARTY will release a new long_one some time in the 012. the band have been working on their fourth album in New York town which makes for interest hearing as some time last year the other three members had announced they were recruiting a new singer. oh well. either way, beware and be scared, as their mp3s did get progressively worse with every release. wotyougot]]> text/html 2012-01-03T21:41:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3963627/bloc-party-is-back/
2012 is going to be a grand year. Don't take my word for it, but Kele from Bloc Party has confirmed with Zane Lowe from BBC that there indeed will be a new album with recording being done this year. It has been four years since the separation and a new release is well overdue. Wonder if Coachella will be on the horizon? Thanks to FADER for the heads up.
