Last week, Bloc Party singer Kele Okereke told NME that he saw the rest of his band congretated around their rehearsal space, but that he wasn’t informed of anything he should have been in attendance at. But guitarist Russell Lissack indeed confirmed they were starting the process of looking for a new vocalist—kind of.

“It’s not really a secret because Kele’s been pretty busy doing solo stuff and it looks like he’s going to be doing that a bit longer,” Lissack says. “The other three of us wanted to meet up and make music. We were talking about just doing an instrumental thing, but now we might get a singer as well, to properly put some music out and play some shows.”

Throughout all of this, Kele and the rest of the band hadn’t actually talked to each other about it, only through the press. However, today, the band’s camp has confirmed to Pitchfork that Kele is still in Bloc Party, with a simple “Bloc Party is still Bloc Party.” [via Pitchfork]
