• Minus The Bear at The Marquee or A Guide to Couple Swaying

  By Jonathan McNamara See more shots from the Minus The Bear concert in our slide show. As an experiment before the show last night, I typed "Minus The Bear" into Pandora to see what I would get. I heard several tracks from Highly Refined Pirates paired with bands like Bloc Party and Death Cab For Cutie; good stuff but not the kind of tracks I would expect to rock in concert. I was wrong. It's true that during their two hour set there was no single song or moment that could be singled out

• What Not To Say To Bloc Party's Kele Okereke

  Almost every slip of paper the publicist for Bloc Party sends out has some mention of how much Kele Okereke doesn't like interviews. Without fail, the articles in their publicity packet have some bit about how shy the singer is, or how he hates to discuss his personal life, or how he hates having his lyrics analyzed. But don't mention that to him: "That's the worst thing you can say to someone in an interview," he said during our brief phone conversation last week. Sigh. So, I'm not going to

• Bloc Party Packs Them In At The Marquee

  In their review of Bloc Party's latest record Intimacy, the guys over at Pitchfork went in to a long and arduous comparison between the band and U2. I didn't really see it, until last night's show at The Marquee.Playing for an impressively packed house - Sunday night shows are risky in Phoenix, which isn't a great live music market for its size anyway - the British indie act's singer Kele Okereke was incredibly charismatic on stage, striking his messianic poses that'd make Mephisto proud while m

  Whew! Boy did we cover a lot of ground this weekend. Clubs Editor Benjamin Leatherman was out being a one man wrecking ball for this weekend's "Night Out" slide show while Music Editor Martin Cizmar hit up Bloc Party last night. I kept myself busy reviewing the Aquabats show while photographer Deanna Dent covered the vinyl art show we mentioned last week. Let's get to the good stuff!Bloc Party at Marquee TheaterIn their review of Bloc Party's latest record Intimacy, the guys over at Pitchfork

• Concert of the Year Countdown: #6 Bloc Party

  Show: Bloc Party at The Marquee on Dec. 14After a terrible interview to advance the show, I wasn't expecting Bloc Party singer Kele Okereke to have much verve on stage. Boy, was I wrong. The front man carried his British indie band through an exciting set at a packed Marquee - on a Sunday night, nonetheless - even climbing off stage to get himself a drink at one point. I was more than just impressed, I was surprised. --Martin Cizmar This countdown was complied by Niki D'Andrea and Martin Cizmar

• Neil Young (Circa 1968), The Clash, What Laura Says, And Pavement Are Just Some Of What's Selling At Hoodlums Music & Movies

  Neil Percival Young during the late '60s. Here's some irony for you. In November 1968, future rock 'n' roll hall of famer Neil Young was paralyzed with fear before his solo show at the Canterbury House in Ann Arbor. According to a recent NPR story on the music legend, he had gone Splittsville from his former band Buffalo Springfield and was crushingly nervous about taking to the stage at the Michigan music venue. Ultimately, Young did go through with the performances, the NPR segment reported,
