Bloc Party Extend Never-Ending Tour With U.S. Shows

Prep new single
Bloc Party Extend Never-Ending Tour With U.S. Shows And the Bloc Party just don't stop. Approaching the final stretch on their present North American jaunt-- and bound for the old countries next month with Mahogany (reminder: arrive early!)-- touring juggernauts Bloc Party have just revealed a three-week U.S. coda to their already enormous trek in support of this year's A Weekend in the City.

Oft-neglected minor American metropolises like Myrtle Beach and Asbury Park: Bloc Party cares about you! Even you, Pompano Beach, Florida. And to ensure Kele and band will have plenty of woe-is-rockstardom material for their next LP, they've even lined up some summer festival dates and Australian gigs. Or catch them from the comfort of your own arse on "The Late Show with David Letterman" on March 29 and "Last Call with Carson Daly" on April 6.

What's more, Bloc Party release the next Weekend single-- "I Still Remember"-- on April 9. Conveniently/annoyingly, it comes in three formats, each boasting different B-side goodies. Children of the digital age can also score exclusive remixes by SebastiAn and the Chap at their favorite online retailer.
