Bloc Party at Hollywood Palladium

Ex-Bloc Party drummer was once quoted, saying: "There's every chance we might go back to more orthodox arrangements or things that resemble a traditional band but I don't think we'll ever write songs like we did on Silent Alarm again."

Silent Alarm. Their 2005 ground-breaking, official debut album put Bloc Party in the map, so to speak. Critics raved about it, as the band earned Indie Album of the Year at the 2006 PLUG Awards and NME Album of the year. From there, it triggered the release of staggering Bloc Party hit singles such as "Two More Years" (2005), "The Pioneers" (2005), "Banquet" (2005), "Helicopter" (2006), "The Prayer" (2007), "I Still Remember" (2007), "Hunting for Witches" (2007), "Mercury" (2008), "Flux" (2008) and "Octopus" (2012). Their hit albums include A Weekend in the City (2007) and Intimacy (2008).

With this, Bloc Party is often cited as one of the founding fathers of the indie-rock boo in the UK and the rest of the world. And with them still rocking it in 2019, is more than enough reason to throw a party! Be there!
