Bloc Party

In the organizer's words:

The first German date for Bloc Party's anniversary tour in honor of their debut album "Silent Alarm", which was released exactly 20 years ago, has finally been announced. On July 15, the British band led by singer, guitarist and main songwriter Kele Okereke and guitarist Russell Lissack will make a stop at the Zenith in Munich. Founding members Matt Tong and Gordon Moakes have not been with the band for a few years now, but have been more than worthily replaced by Harry Deacon on bass and, above all, drummer Louise Bartle - as anyone who has seen Bloc Party live in recent years knows.

When Bloc Party released their debut album "Silent Alarm" on February 2, 2005, they had long been "talk of the town" in England and the rest of Europe. The early demo of "She's Hearing Voices", later song 6 on the record, struck the first sparks before further singles such as "Banquet", "Helicopter", "Little Thoughts" and "So Here We Are" revealed the band's immense potential. However, "Silent Alarm" still had some strong songs up its sleeve: the slowly building and then almost exploratory "Like Eating Glass" is one of the best album openers of the noughties and "This Modern Love" is a feverish, timeless ballad that not many bands can write. The British "NME" called "Silent Alarm" "bloody brilliant" at the time and said: "Bloc Party are to be believed in because they are a band for the whites, the blacks, the straights, the hip-hop kids, the freaks, the geeks, the emo kids, the punk-funkers, the queers and, yes, the fashionistas."

They will play "Silent Alarm" in full, plus other hits from their discography, which has reliably maintained a high level of quality to this day - as confirmed most recently by the studio album "Alpha Games".
