Bloc Party will take their Silent Alarm touring out to the US later this year.
They start in September on the east coast with shows in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston and New York before making a return in November for shows out west in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Bloc Party have been playing their 2005 debut album in full throughout Europe since last October, and are set to release a live album of the tour on April 12th. When Live4ever last caught them, we found that ‘the real showstoppers are Silent Alarm’s powerhouses‘:
“This Modern Love is not an obvious choice, but like an old friend you’ve not seen in a long time, everything settles back into place and you leave wondering why you’d left it so long to catch up.”
“And there’s Helicopter, which even after all these years is completely unstoppable. This is why people watch Bloc Party, for their ability to marry absolute ferocity with real moments of beauty.”
