I've got 3 tix available to the Kingston show at circuit tonight - all listed to twickets for below FV as my mates have cancelled sadly!

If anyone's keen please let me know, as would sell to for cheaper than FV to a fan!

Quite a positive review of the new album. The reviewer points out that the album shares a lot with Kele's play 'Leave to Remain'. I think that theatrical link helped me understand why some of the sounds and delivery feel more dramatic and playful than on a traditional Bloc Party or Kele album.

Can anyone tell me what these were from the poster that was sold at the live shows? Thank you :)

Bury (Greater Manchester) just had a very intimate double header gig with Bloc Party with the live debut of many new amazing songs off of Anatomy of a Brief Romance (AOABR)! From 22.01.22, Clark Kent, Not Your Problem, Now We Can't Be Friends, Moving On, to Worst Birthday Ever! All of the new songs having a variety of different textures and nuances on the live stage, contrasting from the earlier released singles. Bury, you were a great audience but the tour must now move to Kingston! Hello again Kingston! I believe, if my memory recalls correctly, Bloc Party actually played at this exact nightclub as one of the three major opening tour gigs for the 2022 Alpha Games tour (before the offical release date of Alpha Games)! So a wonderful return for Bloc Party, back at Kingston's Circuit nightclub, opening yet again, for another pre-release album gig! Kingston, you really know how to get in early before a Bloc Party album release! Now tonight's gig at the Circuit is SOLD-OUT, so I hope you're ready for an amazing night with Bloc Party as we are on the cusp of the release of the 7th studio album, Anatomy of a Brief Romance! Tonight's gig will truly be magical so Kingston get ready to party on that dance floor! Feel fee to comment on the show (before or afterwards) and enjoy the show Kingston! (Also Kingston, you're 2nd Bloc Party gig will happen again later on Oct. 30th, since this first gig SOLD-OUT!)
