Bloc Party are set to tour Australia this November, hitting capital cities with their biggest shows yet!

In 2007, the UK four-piece followed up their breakthrough debut Silent Alarm with the critically hailed sophomore effort, A Weekend In The City. The band returned to Australian shores for a prime slot at Splendour In The Grass, plus two headline performances in Sydney and Melbourne, both selling out in record time, leaving fans wanting more.

"Intimacy both expands and explodes the English quartet's technique... Intimacy is a fascinating collection of songs." **** Craig Mathieson, The Age, Sept 2008

Bloc Party's third album, Intimacy was released last month digitally, causing a stir as it came out with just three days notice. A deluxe edition CD featuring additional tracks will be in stores on October 25th. Produced by Paul Epworth and Jacknife Lee, the new album takes the Bloc Party sound further than ever before. Triple j have recently deemed Intimacy as their Feature Album of The Week.

"[Bloc Party] delivered a shattering performance that lived up to their reputation as a great live act." Melbourne Festival Hall, FasterLouder, Aug 2007

The purveyors of indie-rock beats recently played a run of sold-out American shows and were touted as "band of the day" (DrownedinSound.com) at the recent Reading and Leeds Festivals. Recent gigs reportedly feature Kele and co. performing a healthy mix of songs from all three releases, including a rare encore of ‘She's Hearing Voices' plus a track dedicated to their absent bass player, Gordon Moakes, who is on extended paternity leave.

Get in quick to catch Bloc Party as they step it up for Australia throughout November.

This will no doubt be one of the season's hottest tickets!
