Bloc Party in St. Louis!

Wed Jun 13, 2007 at 06:30:47 PM

My operatives who are more "in the know" than I am tell me that Bloc Party will be at the Pageant in September. Finally!

To celebrate, here's a video of (in my opinion) the best song from A Weekend in the City, "I Still Remember."

Hey, sometimes it takes bands a while to find St. Louis. :) I'll take 'em where I can get 'em!

In all fairness, Bloc Party tried their best to find St. Louis (well, St. Chuck...) once already, but they had to cancel many of their opening dates with Panic at the Disco and Jack's Mannequin (wha?!?) last year when their drummer's lung tried to kill him:

It'd be nice to see them here at the Pageant headlining a show, though...let's just hope they rehearse beforehand...their performance at last year's Intonation Festival in Chicago was shaky at best, especially their "older" (only released) songs.

I saw bloc party in atlanta last november (the show where the drummer collapsed) and they weren't as great as I'd remembered. However I saw them again in May and the show was stellar and matched the standards they set for live shows when I saw them a couple times in 2005.
