Tonight British indie rock heavyweights Bloc Party will be playing their first ever show in Western New York at the Rapids Theatre in Niagara Falls. Formed in 1999, this incisive band from London found widespread acclaim with their vital and insurgent 2005 debut Silent Alarm, a masterful and inspiring update of British new wave infused with scathing and passionate left wing politics. Featuring an ever evolving sound and the profoundly evocative vocals of Kele Okereke, Bloc Party consolidated their power on 2007's Weekend In The City and the underrated Intimacy from 2008 before taking a break to pursue solo projects and trigger breakup rumors until reuniting in 2011. On tour behind last year's Four, Bloc Party visits the exquisite Rapids Theatre (scene of noq legendary Strokes and Interpol shows) to give local music fans a memorable experience a long time in coming.
Naturally tickets for Bloc Party are still available and are $32 (they were cheaper in advance, at Record Theatre). Doors open at 6:30 and the show starts at 7:30 (a nice break for the working people in my book) with Vancouver BC's Blue Mountain kicking things off with their energetic, refreshing, and thoroughly alive brand of electronic jam music. See you there.
