According to The Rub, and confirmed by one of my favorite bittorrent sites (hint), the new Bloc Party album, scheduled for a 2005 release, has leaked.

My initial reaction: 2005 is going to be the year of the Bloc Party. (translation: the album is REALLY REALLY GOOD)

Paul (The Rub) has also posted one track for download.

Buy the Bloc Party EP @ Amazon

The Bloc Party show at Tribeca Grand wasn't as good as the one at Knitting Factory 2 nights earlier. Maybe because Knitting Factory was their first U.S. show ever. Maybe because Knitting Factory is a better venue. Maybe because they were tired from 3 nights of partying and playing in the U.S.A. (Philly the night before) Maybe because they didn't go on until two hours after they were advertised to go on. Maybe because most people had to wait on a long line to get into this 'free' party. Maybe you don't agree. Anyway, they still rocked...short set or not.

Rumor: Bloc Party signed to a major U.S. label @ Tribeca Grand.

Here are some pictures from this event (2 October 2004).

Bloc Party is playing the Tribeca Grand Hotel on 10/2. I guess that's to make up for the show that was supposed to be at the now closed Filter 14.

A.R.E. Weapons are headlining (???) the Bloc Party show at Knitting Factory.

Goin to Franz Ferdinand tonight?
Don't delay, your future depends on it. :-0

Here are the posted set times:

Futureheads 7:30
Delays 8:15
FF 9:30

Tickets for Rilo Kiley at Bowery Ballroom are now on sale. (Thanks Central Village)

And while you're at Ticketweb, you can also now pick up tickets for Bloc Party at Knitting Factory.

Bloc Party is also supposed to play Filter 14 the night before (Sept. 29). I'm not sure if that's possible since Filter 14 closed a month ago.

If you haven't already, check out the Bloc Party video at NME.

The first two Pixies show sold out in negative ten seconds. I didn't get tickets. :(

I did get some tickets for the second Wilco show at Radio City though. I think tickets are still available.

Why does Bowery Ballroom list Rilo Kiley as playing on October 6th and 7th, but their official tour dates say October 7th and 8th? Third date going to be added? When are tickets going on sale?

Why are Bloc Party tickets still not on sale?

"The Band Formerly Known as Satanicide" ??? play The Delancey on August 21st with Slunt and Old Money. Has Devlin Mayhem left the band? What will Laura Bush think?
