Bloc Party Play The Wellmont Theatre Tonight
January 11th, 2013Four years after the release of their previous album, Intimacy, which The Guardian called “brave, individual and heartfelt,” Bloc Party put out their fourth album, the aptly named Four (stream it below), this past summer. The decade-old British quartet—Kele Okereke (vocals and guitar), Russell Lissack (guitar), Gordon Moakes (bass and synth) and Matt Tong (drums)—celebrated the guitar-centric LP’s release with an August show at Terminal 5 that also streamed live on The Bowery Presents Live channel on YouTube. And now Bloc Party (above, performing “Helicopter”) are back in town again. See them play The Wellmont Theatre tonight.
