Kele's fight with Johnny Rotten

Kele has come out and spoken about his fight with the sex pistols lead singer John Lydon. Lydon supposedly racially abused Kele, who was ready to turn the fight physical. Kele was backed up by members of the bands Foals and Kaiser Chiefs. They would have smashed him.

"I have only one thing to say about that man ??? John Lydon is the devil in my eyes," he told The Sun.

Speaking about the fight, he said: "I really wanted to, like, whip his face off. I was lucky I had lots of people around me who were calming me down.

"I didn't really think about what was happening at the time. I'm not really someone who's very good at backing down from fights. I'm just pleased there are witnesses."

Helicopter

This, along with a few other of bloc party's songs, is possible the coolest song ever. I first heard it when playing FIFA 06 and ever since has been one of my favourite songs. To Connell: I will be considerably richer than you! You can still maybe be my friend i dont mind...back to helicopter if you would like to hear a sample then go to Bloc Party on Wiki and look for it yourself

Bloc Pary's Albums

Silent Alarm
Bloc Party released there first full album, Silent Alarm, in February 2005. This has been, in my opinion their best album. It won many awards and had lots of hits. Helicopter, Two More Years, Like Eating Glass, and Positive Tensions are the most well known of the songs on that album.

A Weekend in the City
Their second album, a weekend in the city was just as successful as silent alarm with such hits as Songs for Clay, Hunting for Witches, The Prayer, I still remember, Sunday and Uniform. I take back what i say about Silent alarm being their best album as i can not choose between these two.

Intimacy
Their third and most recent album, Intimacy, has only just recently come out. The single "Mercury" has already been very successful and the rest of the album is most likely to follow the same path. Im sure i will have a three way tie when i finally sit down and listen to some of the more electronic side of Bloc Party.

A Fourth Bloc Party Album???
A new Bloc Party Album will undoubtably be coming within the next few years. In an interview Kele said they had made a four album deal so that each member of the band could put there influence into an album.
