It’s Sunday 24th August 2008 and I’m sat in a field with 70,000 other welly clad, mud laden, laugh-in-the-face-of-sobriety types waiting to see Bloc Party live at Leeds Festival. Previously, I hadn’t known much of the band with the exception to a couple of their more acclaimed releases, like ‘Modern Way’ and ‘Helicopter’. So, there I was, with an open mind and ears eagerly waiting to be impressed.

Since the release of their third full-length ‘Intimacy’, Bloc Party have been touching more on the softer side of electro and dance, and feeding it into their soft indie rock style. Their latest endeavour ‘One More Chance’ is just a another product of such direction, and so the official and cleverly titled Bloctober tour sees the four-piece hitting many areas of the UK to end 2009 with a good bang.

So not quite ‘Helicopter’ or ‘Banquet’ or even ‘I Still Remember’, is it? Bloc Party‘s latest one-off non-album single offering begins with a bouncy piano loop refrain that wouldn’t be out of place in the early 90s, in pretty much every vocal house song made during that time. It is this refrain, meshing nicely with the usual rhythmic pulse that Bloc Party are well known to provide, that makes this such a good song.

The Manchester G-Mex has recently been re-named to Manchester Central (a sensible name with it being within the center of the city), and since then the venue has began hosting musical concerts, one of which is tonight’s act from London – Bloc Party.

It’s been two years since the band’s last release, and now Bloc Party are back with their brand new album ‘A Weekend In The City’. What a wait it has been, but was it worth it? To put the answer to that question short and sweetly: yes.
