bloc party - octopus going back to their indie rock roots, bloc party are baaaaack and we are VERY happy for their return. leading with this frenetic single for their upcoming album 'four', i can't wait to hear the rest of this when it comes out in august! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
Bloc Party ’s video for “Octopus,” the first single off the band’s long-awaited album Four , features ribbon dancing and hula-hoops, yet somehow manages not to be lame. That’s probably because these British dance-rockers are way cooler than you or I can ever hope to be. Along with the aforementioned gymnastics, “Octopus” features rapid-shot close-ups of random hipsters, frontman Kele Okereke smirking at the camera, and the band rocking out in a warehouse. The song’s manic intricacy is intensified by flashing colors that would make Rainbow Bright jealous. After four years of a Bloc Party-less [...]

How long has it been since we've heard new Bloc Party ? A long damn time . Too long. New track & video, "Octopus" are out today. Bloc Party - Octopus
There have been babies, breakdowns, tantrums and hospitalizations. There was a big question mark over whether Bloc Party was ever going to make another record again. And then, there was 4. So after four years, the four Bloc Party band members are all set to release their fourth album. And the name ...
È prodotto da Alex Newport (già al lavoro con Death Cab For Cutie , The Mars Volta e At The Drive-In ), è stato registrato a New York e arriverà nei negozi il 20 agosto. Stiamo parlando di "Four", quarto disco dei Bloc Party che è stato annunciato dallo stesso frontman Kele Okereke proprio sul suo blog: Dopo il mio disco solista, volevo trascorrere un anno senza musica, altrove. Mi sono portato quattro dischi: "Led Zeppelin IV", "White Pony" dei Deftones, il mixtape di Nicki Minaj "Beam Me [...]
A lot has happened since we last heard from Bloc Party. Not only did lead singer Kele Okereke answer questions about his sexuality, but he also released a dance-heavy solo album, The Boxer. Suspicions arose if the future of Bloc Party was in question, but all rumors can be put to rest with the announcement [...]
Kele Okereke confirma: “o Bloc Party não acabou e vamos lançar um novo disco em 2012!” Depois de muita fofoca e rumores de que haviam se separado, “o Bloc Party ainda é o Bloc Party” , diz Kele Okereke , vocalista e fundador da banda. A novidade foi divulgada no site oficial do grupo , com a publicação de uma imagem em que os integrantes são [...]

After a long period of remaining dormant while Kele Okereke went solo, Bloc Party came back into the public consciousness with a flurry of news reports at the tail end of last year about the future of the band. First it was news that Bloc Party had been practicing together again, then it was claimed that the band was working without singer Kele, and then the band claimed that there were no such tensions in the band and that they are all working together. In an interview with Zane Lowe , Kele has confirmed that Bloc Party [...]
Aunque hace algunos meses se rumoraba en todos lados la posible separación de Bloc Party , parece que al final no fue más que el sensacionalismo de NME, el sitio que de hecho comenzó el rumor y después se las vio negras tratando de probar que los integrantes del grupo sí habían dicho lo que ellos dijeron que habían dicho. Por supuesto que había espacio para que este tipo de rumores crecieran si consideramos que el último disco de la banda fue lanzado hace ya tres años y que en el intermedio Kele [...]
Details on Bloc Party's internal workings was a little sketchy in 2011, but it seemed that lead singer Kele Okereke and the band had their issues. With a new year comes some good news: the band has worked out whatever needed working out, and they have plans to put out a new album in 2012, with Okereke as their frontman. This will be the first album since 20082s Intimacy . The news was confirmed this morning during Kele's interview with Zane Lowe of Radio 1, and the band's website hints at a confirmation with a [...]
Depois de enganar todo mundo na fanpage oficial da banda, agora parece que é sério: teremos um novo disco do Bloc Party antes do fim do mundo ano. E sim, com Kele Okereke nos vocais. Quem confirma é o próprio líder da banda. A declaração foi dada ontem no programa de Zane Lowe , na BBC1 . No site da banda, podemos encontrar também a imagem acima acompanhada do título "Bloc Party is still Bloc Party". O Bloc Party se encontra em hiato desde 2009, quando [...]
The ructions over at Bloc Party feel a bit like Big Brother or the Rugby World Cup, don't they? You're mildly aware that there's some sort of competition going on, but it's hard to be interested because, whoever wins, it's not like anyone else cares much and nobody is sure what the prize is supposed to be. In fact, it's like it's only the NME who give a rat's bandana about it , and are now desperately trying to shore up their original coverage of the story: NME has been accused of sensationalising, or even [...]
Kele tells all in his latest blog post. I met Krissi murrison the editor of the NME at a party last year. I didn’t recognise her and when she went to hug me I stopped her in her tracks and I told her that I had my reasons for not wanting to be hugged by the editor of the NME. I realised that that might have seemed harsh and I didn’t want to be a jerk because I'd never met her before so we spent the evening chatting. she seemed nice. She told me that a big problem [...]
Ha sido el culebrón de la semana, y la crónica de una muerte anunciada, y como dirían ellos mismos, como beber veneno o comer cristal . Estos últimos días os hemos ido contando las noticias que surgían sobre la separación y posible cambio de vocalista en la banda británica Bloc Party. Se trata de un grupo que ha tenido mucho éxito desde que lanzaran Silent Alarm hace ya 6 años y que no han hecho más que crecer con su segundo y tercer trabajo. El cuarto se preparaba para el año que viene, o eso [...]
Right, now I will grant you that this was not a story that really warranted almost 1200 words. However, it came time for me to write CMU's Beef Of The Week column and this was the pop scuffle that most made me laugh this week. My second choice was Rihanna v an Irish farmer . But other than obsessing over his comment that she and her team should "acquaint themselves with a greater God", I couldn't see much scope for stringing it out for longer than I had in the original story. Bloc Party not knowing if they'd [...]

Ayer confirmábamos los rumores sobre la posible salida de Kele Okereke del que hasta ahora ha sido su grupo principal y el que le hizo saltar a la fama: Bloc Party. Todo empezó cuando el artista, inmerso en sus labores diarias de su apretada agenda, se encontró con los miembros del que creía era su grupo entrando en un estudio de grabación y ensayos sin haberle avisado. De forma inocente declaraba que esperaba que no hubiera sido despedido, ya que aunque parezca extraño, nadie le había comunicado nada al respecto y ambas partes llevaban sin hablar [...]
Is Bloc Party looking for a new vocalist in preparation for their up-coming recordings of new material? Up until recent developments, Bloc Party's lead singer has been Kele Okereke, who has recently embarked on a solo career, releasing the album, The Boxer in 2010 and the EP, The Hunter in 2011. Okereke told the British publication NME he was unaware that his bandmates of numerous years, were at a rehearsal studio in New York. Lead guitarist, Russell Lissack was quoted in the publication that the band will be creating [...]
