Bloc Party.....Preciously private

[KiwiCoromandel]

Bloc Party is huge, an indie band in attitude only these days. But singer Kele Okereke finds the public interest abhorrent. He spoke with Guy Blackman.

Kele Okereke, the 23-year-old singer and guitarist for hip London quartet Bloc Party, is a shy, private person. He has a strong stammer and several nervous conversational tics ­- he restarts his sentences many times, trails off, and then when he does get his thoughts in order the words come rushing out in a sudden, almost indecipherable, flood. His band's debut album Silent Alarm, released at the start of this year, has made them one of 2005's biggest acts on both sides of the Atlantic, but Okereke is the polar opposite of a stereotypical rock star, with an obvious distaste for the acclaim that most aspiring musicians dream of.
