Turn On The Bright Lights

The roots of Interpol - as far as its members are considered - can be traced back to a partnership between Daniel Kessler (a guitarist and vocalist) and a fellow New York University student named Greg Drudy (a drummer). Kessler struck up a friendship with another NYU student, Carlos Dengler, who had previously played guitar and felt like becoming involved with music for a second time. Kessler later bumped into Paul Banks, a guitaristvocalist he knew from time spent in France. With the lineup settled, Interpol became a fully active band in 1998. After the band’s first gigs in early 2000, Drudy vacated his position and was replaced by Sam Fogarino. 2001 saw a self-released EP from the band, Matador signed them in 2002 and issued a three-song single and the band’s debut LP (Turn on the Bright Lights) by the year’s end. The album made the band indie stars, and extensive touring around the world followed. September of 2004 brought the well-received follow-up, Antics, and they released their latest album, Our Love to Admire, ahead of their superb Oxegen performance this year. Interpol plays the RDS on December 2nd; tickets are €44.20 and on sale on Friday August 24th at 9am.
