Bloc Party Announce Fall Tour

Bloc Party will return to the States this Fall for more dates in support of their sophomore LP A Weekend in the City.

“This is a rock band for whom the swell of excitement, the surge of the crowd and the clang and clank of distorted drums and guitars remains a pure fuel. We’re just trying to find new ways to express it,” bassist Gordon Moakes writes in his blog.

Fan Club presales for the shows began earlier this week while public sales begin on July 14th.

Opening acts will include Deerhoof, J Versus K, and Smoosh.
