Bloc Party
The mid-aughties indie legends play their stonking debut album from start to finish.
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. Eighteen 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 entirity at Michael Fowler Centre on Monday, 19 November was met with much excitement.
They'll be joined by local indie heros The Beths, whose stunning debut album Future Me Hates Me landed them in the pages of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and Popmatters.
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 connosieurs of jagged guitarwork, sparse electronica and truly incendiary indie-pop songs.
