Bloc Party - Hordern Pavillion 24th November

thanks for the pic pete

Bloc Party were amazing!

It started with another boring Van She performance, they played their usual set and I'm pretty sure the only time the crowd cheered was when they said "You guys excited to see Bloc Party?". They looked bored, they sounded bored.

Then Bloc Party owned the stage like nothing else. They played everyone's favourite tracks, even right from their very first release. Flux, Banquet, Ares, Hunting for Witches, Halo all got everybody jumping and humping.
Except one,
I somehow expected more from Mercury, maybe it was just me, but i wanted to see something happen, like gorillas or something.

Ares was the highlight and the final song they played, started with Kele saying "Lets give you what you want".

no track for this post, just the new architecture in helsinki vid for "that beep":

Last time Van She played at the uni bar i could count the people on the dance floor with my fingers and toes. I thought to myself, these guys aren't getting the crowds they deserved and i couldn't figure out why. Then today it hit me, it was because their new album 'V' had not been released. derrr.

So i would encourage Wollongong to head out to Warrawong for the only reason anyone goes there, to go to JB Hifi and pickup Van She's album. You might even get a Tshirt.
Maybe while you're in Warrawong you could also do me a favor and stop by Westfield's and burn it down. thanks.

Here's is the first track off the album, also a recommended listening of mine is an unusual track called "Temps Mort".

I am one tradehooker looking forward to the release of Van She's Debut Album out August 8. Pre Order Here.

We have already heard "Strangers" and now comes the single "Changes" from their new album and later to be released "Exchanges" (not really but would suit). Will Van She Tech remix this one? i reckon its weird how they remix their own tracks.
