WEBSTER HALL, NEW YORK CITY Bloc Party

Thursday, August 7, 2008

Three albums into their career, Bloc Party aren’t
exactly newbies, but the British indie rockers are
still working out some kinks. “If Kele were smart,
he would have worn a New York Giants uniform,”
jokes guitarist Russell Lissack about bandmate
Kele Okereke donning a Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls
jersey at this Gotham show. “If we’re going to
make it in America, he needs to learn to pander!”
