Bloc Party have announced dates for a run of intimate European show this November and December including shows in London and Manchester with new band members in tow. Full dates and ticket details are below.
After playing two sensational shows in the US, Bloc Party (Kele Okereke and Russell Lissack) revealed the permanent members of the band that would replace drummer Matt Tong and bassist Gordon Moakes - Louise Bartle on drums and Justin Harris on bass.
New material off of the band's fifth studio album was performed at these shows in Pomona and LA. The album has been recorded but remains, at this time, untitled.

Discussing the upcoming record on Triple J radio earlier this month, Kele described the new material as being: "the most gentle music we've ever made and the most abrasive". Try your best to imagine what that would sound like.
