Kele (from Bloc Party) Announces 2010 US Tour Dates, New Album ‘The Boxer’ Out June 22nd
Posted May 5th, 2010 · Artists: Bloc Party, Kele Okereke
Kele Okereke, otherwise known as the frontman for Bloc Party, announced a little while back that he would be releasing a solo album called The Boxer this year. He had also previously announced a few Euro-tour dates for his solo act. Now he has announced a short US tour with a full band in support of this new solo album. From what I understand this is going to be a more electronic/beat/dance driven kind of sound than Bloc Party, although they did put out some of those kinds of songs with their last album. Check out the full list of tour dates below.
