Just less than a year ago a big question mark loomed over whether new music would ever emerge from Bloc Party. The band went on a hiatus in October, 2009, to focus on side projects, and reunited in September, 2011. In May, 2012, the band announced via their website that their fourth album, "Four", will be released on 20 August, 2012.
The four-piece band comprises: Kele Okereke, Russell Lissack, Gordon Moakes and Matt Tong. "Four" presents a band that is lean, hungry, spirited and uncompromising, armed with a collection of songs as powerful and anthemic as they've ever penned, as well as some of their most hard-hitting and visceral recordings to date.
Okereke said: "The record is the sound of four people in a room, loving what they do and doing it to the best of their ability. It is the sound that only the four of us could make, and I am prouder of it than any record we have ever made."
Rocking the Daisies will take place from 4 to 7 October. Get your tickets from www.webtickets.co.za
