Last Night: Interpol at Austin Music Hall

Interpol | 2011 Spring North American Tour Dates :: w/ Austin date (Austin Music Hall)

After catching Interpol at Stubb's last October, the band will be making a return in a few months time with a show at Austin Music Hall.  Tickets for the April 21st show will run $35 and go on sale this Saturday (1/22) at 10 am.

It's just too bad that there's already a concert scheduled at ACL's new Moody Theater at the W Hotel (stupid Jonny Land & George Thorogood). I've heard the new theater is amazing and I only imagine that would be the ideal venue for one of our favorite bands. Just a thought.

Interpol Announces Fall Tour (w/ Austin Date)

It's been posted everywhere and if you follow us on Twitter (@ultra8201) you knew about this a couple of days ago but this band is a favorite over here so we have to give them a proper post. Interpol will head out on the road this fall and will be touring North America extensively. I am listening to the upcoming album (Self Titled, due Sept 7th) as I type and am digging it. Although I still can't figure out why they chose "Barricade" as the lead track? Not a fan.

You will get your opportunity to see these new tracks and new bassist Dave Pajo live this fall and make your own decision. The band will be in Austin at Stubbs on October 28th.

Carlos D Leaves Interpol

Carlos D has left Interpol. Yes, My favorite member from one of my favorite bands has taken his killer stache and said goodbye. Say what you want about the band but they will always hold a top spot for me. The band mentions that they have some exciting prospects for the position. Matt Safer (previously of The Rapture) recently filled in on bass for the Julian Plenti shows so I wouldn't be surprised to see him possibly taking the spot. The band recently released the track "Lights" for download via their official website. You can listen to it below [via].

Here's the official announcement from Interpol:

After the completion of the album, Carlos informed the rest of us that he would be leaving the band. He has decided to follow another path, and to pursue new goals. This separation is amicable, and we whole-heartedly wish him great happiness and success. We will remain, as always, deeply respectful fans of this blazingly talented individual.

New Julian Plenti Video : Games for Days featuring Emily Haines!!!!!

I love Interpol, I love Metric. Julian Plenti is Paul Banks from Interpol's new side project we have been talking up for a few weeks. The new video for Games for Days is out today and guess who stars along side Banks in the video... none other than Emily Haines of Metric! To me this is too much awesome in one place, I think you'll agree.

Interpol's Paul Banks Readying Solo Effort Under Moniker Julian Plenti

Interpol's lead singer Paul Banks has announced a new solo effort, entitled Skyskraper to be released via Matador Records on August 4th. His new project is being released under the moniker Julian Plenti, a name Banks has been using for several years now.

According to Billboard, while the album was recorded recently, some of the songs were written more than ten years ago. The album is described as having a "cocky, sexy" feel, with tracks that sound similar to Interpol, as well as some straight-ahead guitar rock songs.

Stream snippets of tracks at Julian Plenti's official site.

Interpol "Rest My Chemistry" Video

The music video for Interpol's "Rest My Chemistry" was created by fan/visual artist Aaron Koblin, who creates abstract visuals using computer code, essentially programming each movement that takes place. Find more info at Wired.

Interpol Live E.P

I mentioned a few weeks back that Interpol was releasing a live E.P from a recent show in London. It's available through independent music stores which I think is a fantastic idea. If you haven't had a chance to pick it up go to ThinkIndie.com and find out wear you can find the nearest local record shop. For all my fellow Austinites I hear this place Waterloo has a nice selection. Till then here are streams of all the songs to give you a preview.
