"Banquet"/"Staying Fat" is a double A-side single by Bloc Party. A follow-up to "She's Hearing Voices", it was released in May 2004 on Moshi Moshi Records, following the band's support slot for several dates with ex-Blur guitarist Graham Coxon. It 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 in the UK Singles Chart.
