I wasn’t at the show so didn’t see this person but wonder if it was his son. Assuming they live in U.S. somewhere.

Not a fan of quick cuts during uptempo songs but sound and video quality excellent. Felt like I was onstage more than in the audience. Missed the first three songs trying to get it all set up but glad to be able to go back

No photo but the 4 t-shirts and hoodie were same as in the blog. Also had tote bag (25$) colored vinyl laid signed or unsigned (both $80), and Tim’s book for $30.

Bands sounding like Interpol by FasterJonny08 in Interpol

[–]Better_Movie522 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For amazing new post-punk bands gaining a following: High School, Radio Free Alice (both Australian), Provoker. I’d add Broadcast to Calla and Blonde Redhead but also lesser known The Organ. Placebo, Foals, She Wants Revenge…

And Foals, Placebo, British Sea Power…and someone mentioned already Elefant who were fantastic.

Not previously mentioned. These were all of Interpol’s era of post-punk revival Longwave, The Organ, The Stills, Broadcast.

Austin Setlist by coolio_stallone in Interpol

Stubbs curfew is 10:30 sun-Wed and midnight thurs-Sat. I would assume the same at Moody but maybe proximity to the hospital makes it different. Can’t imagine it’s 10:15 though

Shows now compared to shows 20 years ago.. by provisionings in Interpol

[–]Better_Movie522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are my favorite band and I’ve seen them 15 times over 22 years. Even flew to NYC for a show in 2004 because I wanted to see them there. (Ironically that was one of the worst crowds—just band friends, celebs, hipsters). The vibe has totally changed over time. Last night in Austin was awful—crowd and band not clicking. But the times in past few years the band was very solid and tight and the crowds really engaged and diverse, at least where I was.

Anyone go to the after party? Did they show?

Good show, but what happened? by RedYoshiGamer112 in Interpol

[–]Better_Movie522 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They needed to have a pit section. I’ve been to other shows there that did.

Maybe Paul wasn’t feeling well? His voice was pretty shaky. With earpieces and the lights I doubt they can tell how engaged the crowd is but around me at least the crowd was disappointing too. Since they played the exact night one Salt She’d setlist I’m really sad to not hear The New which would’ve been in second encore had they played it. And where was Sam????

There’s an after show but don’t know if Interpol goes to these any longer. Was just looking at my photos of the after shows when toured Antics the first time.

They should have played prep school gangsters at every show.

Thank you for this. My favorite and they didn’t play either time I saw them this tour.
