If you’ve been wondering where Bloc Party has been, you’re in good company. Following the 2008 release of the critically acclaimed Intimacy, the group went on an extended hiatus, leaving fans and critics alike wondering what the future would hold for the electronic-rock band from London.
Four years and a few successful side projects later, Bloc Party has reunited and returned to the music scene, announcing the forthcoming release and tracklist of the aptly-titled Four, out August 21st on Frenchkiss Records. Of the group’s fourth album, lead singer Kele Okereke says, “It is the sound that only the four of us could make, and I am prouder of it than any record we have ever made.”
The band also just announced North American tour dates in support of their new album. Bloc Party will be playing at the 9:30 Club on both September 16th and 17th alongside hardcore heavyweights Ceremony. Tickets don’t go on sale until 10AM on Friday, but we have a pair of tickets that we want to give to you before you can even buy ’em.
