    Bloc Party Shun The Killers On US Radio Station

    Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke has revealed that the band purposefully shunned the Killers during a recent appearance on US radio.

    Both bands were booked to perform at separate times on the Californian station over Christmas.

    However, Okereke said Bloc Party went out of their way to make sure they avoided the Las Vegas band.

    "I didn't watch The Killers," he told the Daily Mirror newspaper. "In fact, I made sure I left before they came onstage."

    Meanwhile, Bloc Party are scheduled to embark on a short US and Canadian tour in March.

    For details, check out the Gigwise Gig Guide.

    Toronto, Ontario Kool Haus -March 14
    London, Ontario Centennial Hall -15
    Ottawa, Ontario Bronson Centre -17
    Montreal, Quebec Metropolis -18
    New York, NY Terminal 5 -24/25

    • The Killers are boring and dull and everyone likes them for the hell of it. Bloc Party have lots of energy and great songs, no comparison
