Kele Okereke, lead singer and guitarist of the band that produced three genre-busting albums claims that the party might be over. In a discussion with Triple J regarding any future Bloc Party album releases, the Liverpool native said, “We don’t know what the future holds. It’s weird, we’re out of contract now so… we might take a year off, we might take three years off…. we might never make a record again or we might head straight back in and do a record. We’ll see how we feel come the end of this touring cycle.”
Okereke’s comments were made in the middle of a long and exhaustive tour, however it should still be noted. Signs have been shooting through the internet of the band’s foreseeable future. Gordon Moakes temporarily quit the band last year to go on paternity leave while Kele Okereke has been DJing a collection of classic house tunes from the ‘90s and after canceling performance dates in the U.S. and postponing the Japanese tour one can surmise a band that needs a break. Bloc Party intends on finishing the remainder of their tour dates that continues through November 19th but with many cancellations even that may be doubtful.
