Bloc Party (Edge Studios, Sept 11/12)

A windy waterfront had the Edge studio rolling door down up until the Bloc Party. Up went the door and on went the show - just a two man teaser with a seated acoustic guitar and Kele Okereke's signature vocals. He really put a lot into the first song, Truth, which has a very nice chorus plainly heard in this stripped down arrangement. Following the radio "thanks - once again, Bloc Party!" they played another solid new song from Four in Day Four. Personally I was hoping for a special throwback to Silent Alarm, especially This Modern Love, but it wasn't meant to be. It wasn't angular, it wasn't upbeat yet it was still enjoyable.
