Misc ="Banquet/Staying Fat" is a song recorded by Bloc Party. A follow up to the song "She's Hearing Voices", it was released in May 2004 as a double A-side single on Moshi Moshi Records. It followed the band gaining a support slot for several dates with rejuvented ex-Blur guitarist Graham Coxon. "Banquet" became something of a "cult" hit, the low budget video picking up numerous plays on MTV2, with the single eventually charting just outside the top 50.
