Kele w/ Strange Talk
His live shows are packed with energy and sweat as he transports you through his solo and Bloc Party catalogue.
Overview
When British indie band Bloc Party blew up and flew up the charts with their first album Silent Alarm, lead singer Kele Okereke kept a cool head. He continued his degree in English literature and didn't tell his parents yet that he was musically inclined. Their first single, 'Banquet', got such worldwide airplay that Kele had to bite the bullet and admit to being the rock star he was.
Following three critical and commercially successful albums, the band went on a hiatus. 2010 was a big year for Kele as a person and as an artist: coming out as gay and releasing his first solo album, The Boxer. The album and its accompanying singles 'Tenderonie' and 'Everything You Wanted' showed a different side to Okereke. Whereas Bloc Party's music was thumping, dark and personal, The Boxer seemed to express a more lively, dance-driven yet sardonic sound.
His live shows are packed with energy and sweat as he transports you through his solo and band catalogue. Supported by Melbourne pop outfit Strange Talk, this will prove to be an unmissable show.
