Overview

Brimming with raw excitement, emotion and urgency, Bloc Party's debut Silent Alarm was an instant hit amongst tastemakers and critics alike upon its release in 2005. Thirteen years has cemented the album's place as a shining example of mid-aughties indie rock, while its singles 'Helicopter' and 'Banquet' continue to fill dance floors around the world.

So it's no wonder that the London quartet's announcement that they would be playing Silent Alarm in its entirety at the Hordern this November was met with much excitement. The first show has already sold out, but a second show has been added for Thursday, November 29.

Whether you remember the music of Bloc Party due to late night raves or long evenings spent nursing feelings of desolate heartbreak, this will be an unforgettable evening for connoisseurs of jagged guitarwork, sparse electronica and truly incendiary indie-pop songs. The band be joined by local indie heroes Haiku Hands for the Australian shows.
