Bloc Party

In June 2013, Bloc Party was hitting its stride at the Southside Festival, just a few months after the release of their album 'Four' in August 2012. This concert featured classic tracks like 'Song for Clay (Disappear Here)' and 'Banquet', showcasing their distinct blend of post-punk and indie rock. Interestingly, during this performance, Sarah Jones of Hot Chip filled in on drums, a nod to the band's commitment to continue performing even when original members are unavailable. This live recording not only captures the pulsating energy of Bloc Party but also highlights how the band was navigating through a period of reestablishing their sound while dealing with lineup changes. Fans note this era as critical for Bloc Party, as they sought to rekindle their early magic while moving forward artistically.
