Bloc Party – ‘So Here We Are’
Bloc Party released their sixth album, Alpha Games, in April 2022. It was their first album to feature drummer Louise Bartle, who joined the band in 2015 but after they’d finished recording 2016’s Hymns. UK magazine Clash rated Alpha Games 8/10 and called it “an exciting return with addictive hooks and array of infectious album stand outs.” Reviewer Laviea Thomas used the word “addictive” three times in a 380-word review.
Bloc Party last visited Australia towards the end of 2018, playing shows in honour of their 2005 debut album Silent Alarm. They’ve been regular tourists throughout their two-decade career, first coming here in 2005 and returning eight times since.
Bloc Party’s trio of co-headline shows with Interpol brings them to Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion and Riverstage in Brisbane. Find more info here.
