Extremely attractive (apparently) Bloc Party vocalist Kele Okereke has told Xfm that he would love for his band to be declared ‘Godlike Geniuses’ at a future NME Awards ceremony. Past recipients of the award include John Peel, U2 and New Order.
Okereke: “Every week something amazing has happened. There’s been so many things that have been so good. Our time in the public eye has gone relatively quickly, but we’ve spent five years touring on buses, with no one paying any interest in what we were doing, so it feels nice that we’re got our revenge on the world. How could things get any better? We could be declared 'Godlike Genius' at the next NME Awards or something like that, that would be the pinnacle. Or maybe name an award after me… ‘The Bloc Party Award for Innovation’”, he joked. Or, at least, we hope it was a joke.
