I went to the Bloc Party concert was as I expected, a rocking good time. There was a good amount of rolling goin' on too. They played a great set, most of Silent Alarm along with the newer song "Two More Years" and an "older" song as well. The whole thing was mixed really well and the sound was great. The Congress Theatre in Chicago is nicer than the Rave, but not enough to where I would totally trash the Rave like everyone else. This place did have a cooler inner ambiance going on compared to the Rave's zilch in that department.
The Kills were the second opening act and they kicked ass. They were almost better than Bloc Party. As Frank has already stated, a good word for their sound is "loud". You wouldn't really get that vibe from listening to their album No Wow (which is pretty k.a.), but everything is pumped up for the live show and they go all out.

my friend saw them in Detroit this week and said the venue sucked and that Kele lost his voice and so their set was a little short...glad that wasn't the case for you.
Kele mentioned that he lost his voice the previous night, but he sounded pretty good. I think it was bothering him a bit though cause it still wasn't that long of a set.
i was at the show as well...i don't know if you noticed or not but matt the drummer caught my bands t-shirt that i tossed up on stage. pretty cool. you could definitley tell Kele's voice was hurtin. They cancelled the Denver show a few days later. Good thing it wasn't our show! I hope they come back soon.
