New Bloc Party Video For “Banquet” Online
With the North American release of their first full-length album “Silent Alarm” quickly approaching (next week actually), a new video for Bloc Party’s song “Banquet” has appeared online. They previously had a lower budget black and white video for the same song, I guess this new version is what happens when a major label ponies up some cash for an update. The directors, Alex & Liane, are the same ones who directed the original Banquet video, as well as a Scissor Sisters video for the song “Laura”. Strangely, a quick look at Mvdbase.com shows a 3rd Banquet video by Scott Lyon currently in post-production. I’m not sure what that’s all about. So what do people think? Is this song going to be huge once MTV gets a hold of it? I think so. Click the link below to watch the video, and a bunch of others directed by Alex and Liane as well including Bloc Party’s “So Here We Are”.

I picked up a copy at HMV already for 14.99
Posted by Goon on March 16th, 2005Sweet I’ll have to check it out… would that be the import then rather than the Vice Records release? I noticed they had a big spot on the new release wall for it a week or two ago before they even had any CDs for it.
Posted by Sean on March 16th, 2005there was no Vice logo on it…
but then again, some of the other Vice acts like the Streets and DFA 1979 dont have the logo on them either…
It could have been the import, but they priced it domestic… mistakes get made… I’d call your HMV ahead to make sure… the store I was at though had dozens…
Posted by Goon on March 16th, 2005That would’ve been an accident. It’s not suppose to be put out yet.
Posted by JAY C. on March 16th, 2005I guess they looked at the import release date before putting it out
