Interpol brixton

[tonywojo]

saw some of the vids from ghost and he doesnt hold the notes too great mr banks.

mac v banks best singer?

We passed up a gig of theirs just in November. Brixton though, sounds better.
Saw them twice previously, brill.

Whilst overall the live show was very good.....the new stuff really doesnt fit into a live set that well because the BPMs are quite low

I agree with you mostly except on this.
For example, Lights was the best song for me on this tour. What a crescendo...

[Dave Smith]

Yeah Lights was great.Banks suffered with throat trouble in the UK and had sprays onstage for him to use.

[Froggy bunnyman]

But it's true the songs from the last album are less good than Lights (which is one of the best Interpol songs especially live).

Same smoke out light show as Bunnies

Conclusion: a band in transition after Carlos has left and not likely to play much of the last album on the next tour.Keep the faith.

And like EATB, they have not allowed a new member who contributes to the songwriting.

Or is that just standard? Especially amo ng bass players - The Stones, Metallica, EATB, got new bass players that are considered formal members of the band - but no songwriting input (it seems)

What do you call the guy who hangs out with the band?

The bass player.

[Dave Smith]

Carlos left after recording the last album.Mew did the same thing after losing the bassist-the guitar player played it instead in the studio plus hired-hand for live.

[withahip]

I think the importance of a creative bass player is under estimated.

Les, Hook, hmmmm, that's all I got.

Seeing them as part of sunset sounds festival up in Brisbane in early Jan looking forward to seeing them play again along with a great line up.
