While Russell Lissack's been putting the final touches to Pin Me Down's debut album, his Bloc Party bandmate Kele Okereke has been busying himself with his own side-project.Kele is due to release his solo album 'The Boxer' in June and Shane has kindly pointed me in the direction of the first cut from the record, 'Tenderoni'.

thanks for the link!
haha it sure does have some similar qualities to the bodyrox track! It's that small section after the chorus (bridge) before the next verses. It is practically the same melody, sample maybe?? hmmmm, good track though, beautifully readt for a grime covered dancefloor :)
reminds me of Where My Rolex as well. not a bad track.
