Bloc Party

In December 2012, Bloc Party took the stage at The Observatory in Santa Ana for a vibrant live performance, delivering their iconic track "Banquet" from their debut album, *Silent Alarm*. By this time, the band was riding the wave of their fourth studio album, *Four*, which was released earlier that same year. Fans were thrilled to experience live renditions of both classic tracks and newer material, highlighting Bloc Party's evolution over the years. Interestingly, the band's lineup saw some changes leading up to this performance, with founding member and guitarist Russell Lissack continuing to bring his signature flair to their sound. This set resonated deeply with the audience as they celebrated the rich tapestry of Bloc Party's journey through the post-punk revival, reaffirming their position in the music scene and connecting deeply with devoted fans.
