Bloc Party are still a fucking force live guys. Forget about their new records and everything else that has turned you slightly off to the band you once feel in love with. They still bring it live. It certainly helps that they opened with “So Here We Are”, a song that I never thought I would hear live ever again. It was glorious. Then they kicked into “Hunting for Witches” & “Positive Tension” before I had to leave to catch a bit of The xx. But that was as good of a 3-song opening as we could ever hope from Bloc Party in 2013. They still have the live energy and they know what works. If only they could carry this same stuff to their recordings.
