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.
woot bloc party! it's like it's 2005 all over again, and suddenly thing are heady. i'm sorry, can you help me catch up with these things? i remember pretty well that bloc party was reall cool. i think the inclusion of that music video helped me remember why.
