Bloc Party

I was watching tivoed PBS Austin City Limits from last week and watched these guys, Bloc Party. This vid gives a bit of the feel, but live they gave me a lot of the energy of the '80s bands The Cure, The Pixies, early U2, and some others. Good stuff I think! Also, mostly telecaster tones, with a Gretsch thrown in for good measure. I liked them.



I like the trippy stuff the guitarist does on this one too. It was great live.

In fact, here is a live clip.

Holy crap, I love bloc party, thanks for posting. I have all of their albums, including their new one, intimacy. They have a fairly new video that's just plain entertaining:

Cool! Spud told me he liked seeing them too. I thought they were great, and was really glad ACL put them on.

I just watched that vid you posted. That is great! Reminds me of the good MTV from way back when, when it was all new, creative and a bit weird. Thanks for posting!
