Well worth it.

For some reason I love this band... their music is danceable and chillable

Im a massive fan of there new album, they are about to tour here and im going to see them, be very interested to see how they transfer that to a live atmosphere.

from what i hear, theyre pretty good live

I have heard the same. Im hoping to be able to sneak my camera in and film some like I did at Simple Plan. We shall see. All of Simple Plan and hopefully Bloc Party that I film (2-3 Songs max likely) will be uploaded there.

The more I listen to the new album the more I like it. It's a very different sound to most else of what I listen to.
