Bloc Party

By August 2015, Bloc Party was navigating a significant transition in their career. The band had recently announced new members, Justin Harris on bass and Louise Bartle on drums, which marked a new chapter following a hiatus. Before this live recording, they released their fourth album, 'Four,' in 2012, showcasing a sound that balanced their early post-punk roots with exploration into new musical territories. This live performance at The Glass House in Pomona wasn't just about the music; Kele Okereke's update gave fans a glimpse into the band's evolution, both in lineup and creative direction. Interestingly, 'Exes,' the new song introduced at this concert, signals a fresh beginning for Bloc Party, promising a mix of nostalgia and innovation for long-time listeners. They were definitely at a crossroads, blending their iconic style with newfound energy.
