Last time Bloc were in the Live Lounge in April 2007, they played Nelly Furtado's 'Say It Right', though they never got around to playing it live. Last night's showcase of 'Call The Shots' was actually the first time the band have played a full cover live (not including their brief teases of Prince's 'I Would Die 4 U' and A-ha's 'The Sun Always Shines On T.V.' before 'Flux' at recent gigs)...and the band hint this cover may become a regular fixture at their upcoming live shows.

The boys have been pretty busy in radio-land...they've also recorded a session for KCRW's legendary 'Morning Becomes Eclectic' show. Click here to listen/watch, or view the entire session below. (Setlist: Trojan Horse / Halo / Signs / Mercury / Interview / Letter To My Son / Ion Square / Better Than Heaven)
