With only three albums in tow but already additional party remix versions by music colleagues and overly busy worldwide tours, it is no surprise Bloc Party have become a party icon. Hype does not build steadily for no apparent reason. In an era where internet leaks, instant review blogging and twitter-esque word of mouth abound, it is hard to turn a blind eye to ‘express’ popularity without feeling a tinkle of curiosity.
The Twang, are currently putting the finishing touches to a new album due in the Spring of 2009 with the working title of ‘Not Tonight, It’s Monday’. These shows will be the first opportunity for fans to hear tracks from the new album and singer Phil Etheridge can’t wait to get back in front of the fans:
“Playing live is what it’s all about, we’re all just itching to get back out on it now and start playing the new tunes to people. February’s gonna be party time!”
