Bloc Party News

I heard some wonderful news this week......

Bloc Party is playing Melt Festival in Germany! I'm excited! I want to go! Also on the line up is Gossip, The Rapture, Two Door Cinema Club... I really want to go!
After not much news of the band since 2009 recently we heard Kele was back with the band and they were recording a fourth album, I was excited but not convinced.
Now my big delema is whether I book tickets to Germany or wait for the Reading festival line-up release on the 12th of March. Decisions, decisions.

Ever wondered....

Have you ever wondered what really defines a hipster? Cracked.com have had a go and it is quite amusing (and a bit mean).... http://www.cracked.com/funny-4573-hipster/.

Makes me miss summer in Sydney.

Let’s Dance to Joy Division!

I love The Wombats! I think they may actually be my favourite band, they defiantly are today J Last night was my first gig at the Brixton Academy which I was excited about in itself. The academy is one of London’s best music venues and only a km from my flat, so I hope there will be many more visits to come.

We missed the support acts but arrived just in time for The Wombats to start. The show was awesome! Great lights, great crowd, incredible sound, all round perfect. I can’t remember seeing a better show, or enjoying a show more. They played all songs from This Modern Glitch and A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation plus a few new ones. They finished with Let’s Dance to Joy Division, which ended with quite a bit of bad dancing all round.

Before the gig we went to check out a new bar – Electric Social. It doesn’t look much from the outside, I have actually walked past it a few times and wondered what it was. It was decked out in the eclectic London style with bookshelf wallpaper, Union Jack couches, and top hats for lampshades. Wednesday night is open mic night and a couple of really impressive musicians did a set. I will defiantly be returning.

I'm Back....

Sorry it has been a while, I should have called. Quite a bit has changed in the last 6 months here are a few highlights:

• Moved to London


• Started a new job as a TV Producer at a great advertising agency


• Catching up on some great British rock (my favourite type)


• Trying to get my head around bad British pop (X Factor is huge)


• Lots of traveling - Prague, Paris, Portugal and around the UK
  
• Loving London fashion / culture / nightlife

I was at a gig last night and started thinking what a great week it has been, and how bored my colleges and husband must be with my rattling on about music and festivals and odd fashions so I thought I should tell someone who cares....
