Bloc Party - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@mariafadljevic5406]

Bloc Party will forever be my favourite band. I'm so lucky to have experienced them in my lifetime.

[@ramn_]

9 years later, still your favourite? 🤔

[@jessechipango1525]

Russell is top quality guitarist. So versatile. Able to do the stuff he does normally and able convert it into beautiful acoustic versions and play it flawless.

[@combustinghandshakes8617]

Someone else made a list, but the time links don't work. So I made this! 0:26 - Truth 4:38 - Day 4 7:45 - Interview 10:30 - Sunday 15:48 - This Modern Love

[@chitwnhood]

there should always be someone like you doing the shit that matters... timestamped playlists, brilliant! and ty.

[@tommyholiday9880]

KEXP brings out the best music in every group featured!

[@sorryitsmoops]

Sitting at work right now, This Modern Love just started playing and I am proper tearing up

[@theraubyreport]

Long live Bloc Party. But R.I.P its amazing former rhythm section.

[@TheCouture111]

I saw them last year in Toronto, one of the best shows I have ever seen, I've been a huge fan for years.

[@Sud0wood0]

IN the singer's defense, the notes he hits are pretty high and he clearly demonstrates his vocal range, a pretty impressive feat.

[@jdigi1015]

I’ve been listening to this for five years. It is still the best.

[@mcride1677]

kele is the best vocalist on earth. his passion is visible with every word, spoken, shouted, or sang. fucking brilliant.

[@davidarthur5756]

watched this a 100 odd times over the years, never gets old

[@arielllla111]

Acoustic Bloc Party is absolutely stunning

[@Iubmaw]

I guess I'm not clever enough to appreciate this, but the performance seems very sincere, so I'm happy for all of you who actually get this.

[@camrongood]

Wow they need to release acoustic versions of their music, really good!

[@smhill818]

I think I'm sold: KEXP is the best thing since ever.

[@hilld1985]

I would buy this so hard if they released an actual record that sounded like this. It's beautiful.

[@brownstar69]

KEXP have some great bands on

[@simonastolpner]

I was so obsessed with this band several years ago. I hope they will become more active again.

[@jaimetrevino4650]

And they did!

[@zach28]

@@jaimetrevino4650 not the same

[@jamesfarmer8463]

The 'This Modern Love' Middle 8 - Outro on this performance was excellent.

[@jamesbeauman]

This is the single greatest video ever

[@radu-andreibradateanu7239]

[@devenmorris4053]

Amazing brings tears of joy and happiness. Strong and powerful voice with amazing guitar work. Simple and beautiful.

[@adrielle088]

I don't usually listen to KEXP live perfs but Bloc Party? I can't miss this.

[@MargotLOVEDyan]

[@profesormota4109]

This,homesick,jellyjam sándwich & a cup of coffe: perfection.

[@joelsantos5446]

Shalom block party i love you.

[@jonathanmolzan528]

Can't believed they played This Modern Love, such a great song.

[@ltaylor1486]

seeing them again in August! great band!

[@kujoalt]

God, what a beautiful voice.

[@Sitgesful]

Such a good band! I've been listening to this band from the beginning ("silent alarm") and it was love at first sight. Not only because of the quality of the arrangements, but the lyrics, the sound... Thank you so much. They come to perform in Belgium on the 2nd of december this year. But its sold out....

[@christiansivelle8197]

My favorite Bloc Party songs (Skelton and Modern Love) best ever!

[@rorogerio]

GREAT VID. BEST RADIO IN THE WORLD!!!!!

[@jdducat]

Wow This Modern Love acoustic is amazing.

[@grnppj5641]

"Sunday" is really a beautiful song

[@musicornoise]

Truth 00:26, Day 4 04:38, Interview 07:45, Sunday 10:30, This Modern Love 15:48

[@MRCL-190]

Just hit me I can watch this anytime I want, what a feeling.

[@Neil_Robinson]

awesome to hear an acoustic set, Modern Love sounds sweet

[@adammaceika5691]

Such an amazing performance. Words cant do it justice..

[@duenasrodriguez]

really goos its been a while since i heard bloc party

[@AwwwwwwSKEETSKEET]

Well actually after I posted that comment, I checked to see if they were gonna be in the US soon and they're actually coming to a city about 2hours away from me. Definitely gonna plan to go.

[@m.a.____c.5892]

why not

[@hunterjessup]

Kele is the man crush to end all others

[@yeyeletmy]

BLOC PARTY… Best Indie Band EVER… By FAR!.

[@evanscantleton9546]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@danileo13]

Happy to see them still rocking :)

[@KevinTatum88]

..one of the rawest Acoustic Formats by such an Unpredictable Mainstream Lively Group while "totally Flipping their switch On in a Totally Different Currency",bluntly "Overpowering at the slightest of notes or keys",(especially those Angelic VOCALS) that I feel being One of the "Rarest" performance on KEXP yet! Its much like bringing in someone like Chris Martin and giving him only a Ukulele or 1 form of an instrument that you Normally anticipate or see,and yet you are ultimately"Blown away"!!!

[@Davidtaysk8]

Fck yeah.. Bloc party ar the best band of indie...

[@Trialanderroragain]

I swear they're classed as Pop Rock

[@Trialanderroragain]

***** Music Industry and Wikipedia lol

[@y0MamA12345]

Anime Afro i agree it doesnt neccesarily matter but people feel like they need order. BUt yeah this is definitely Pop Punk, but not the mainstream stuff that actually isnt PUNK in anyways and all POP. I feel like if you diagnose the term POP and PUNK together, this band is like the closest you can get.

[@Davidtaysk8]

Anime Afro yes, maybe say rock-pop, but it's for a few songs, but their roots are indie

[@sethwoot]

what makes you think they are Indian said the troll?

[@joosh9]

Beautiful set

[@zimoku_x]

Wow. That is the only word I have for this performance

[@AwwwwwwSKEETSKEET]

I'd do anything to see them live.

[@patrickgoligowski8959]

[@israelpedro3534]

Sweet sweet songs for my pumkin.

[@FelipeMonroy1288]

That singer its just so so hot, his voice is delicious

[@rempart145]

God, Kele is so arrogant, saw them live and they seemed all so pissed to have to play... I still can't stop listening to their music, it's just too damn good, espescially the older albums...

[@mrdrumfreak456]

Does he cry? Oh, god,

[@longfang40]

What even waiting until they are on tour and buying a ticket?

[@joeldixon263]

Tiger Balm getting their advertising out there!

[@brandonc9589]

At least he wasn’t doing a cover of “About A Girl “. Kele can sing as well.

[@IDCtwenty]

I remembet in 06 Kelly was so bad live. He's improved alot!

[@jonathanhemming]

He was when on I saw them on the original Silent Alarm tour, couldn't sing at all!

[@zzr400cc]

Can anyone convert this to vinyl?

[@belengo539]

Não sai da minha play list nunca

[@MrKeanu182]

Fair enough. I love the band, I like them for their upbeat style from the albums, whereas this is a little more subdued, too subdued for me personally (I should say that I type whilst the first song is still playing, it might kick off in a minute).

[@TomRubicon5949]

Anybody know what guitar Russel is playing here? The tone is crisp AF

[@nick92hinton]

It Would be so nice if they did, but by the looks of internet they won't be probably just the odd live show, I would love to these live sadly I missed out :(

[@HaruUnite]

WHY NOT ;D

[@jorgeyanperalta2575]

Does anybody knows the brand of the tshirt of the guitarist?

[@QVCK]

+Jorge Yan Peralta Komodo Tiger Balm T-Shirt

[@jamonzed]

Jam on ZeD ft. Sharon Lagon - No Puedo Ver

[@Trialanderroragain]

Why does Kele look so upset when he's talking?? :(

[@roruviteh]

I don't think he's upset. He looks high, in my opinion.

[@Trialanderroragain]

Rocio Podesta Hahahaha, look at his eyebrows though, he's gonna tear up

[@Trialanderroragain]

brandon cudi That's a good explanation. I understand what you mean now Thank you

[@Barker9135]

'DJ El Toro' sounds like the bloke from dodgeball
