Interpol (banda)

grupo musical estadounidense

Interpol es una banda de indie rock estadounidense de Manhattan, Nueva York,[1]​ formada en 1997.[2]​ Su formación original consistía en Paul Banks (voz, guitarra rítmica), Daniel Kessler (guitarra principal, voz), Carlos Dengler (bajo, teclados) y Greg Drudy (batería, percusión). Drudy dejó la banda en 2000 y fue reemplazado por Sam Fogarino. En 2010, poco después de finalizar la grabación del cuarto álbum de la banda, Dengler se fue para perseguir proyectos personales, lo que resultó en que Banks se convirtiera en el bajista de la banda.

My Favorite Album #223 - Sarah Lewitinn (Ultragrrrl) on Interpol 'Our Love to Admire' and why they should have been 'the' band of the 2000s

Sarah Lewitinn's career has taken from writer to manager to DJ, self-described 'queen of beneficient debauchery' and the once and future 'Ultragrrl'.

In a personal and emotionally honest conversation, Sarah makes the case for Interpol's 'Our Love to Admire' as the band's best album and the deep, slow-burning relationship she has had with it. We talk about the efforts she's made to keep her personal distance from the members of Interpol, the legend and reality of Carlos D, and how the album feels like the closing chapter on an era of her New York life.

If you haven't yet, I recommend reading Lizzy Goodman's amazing oral history of the 2000s NYC rock scene 'Meet Me in the Bathroom', in which Sarah features, and listening to my recent podcast with Lizzy.

Interpol - My Desire

New video on the Interpol youtube page, for their track My Desire, which comes form their 2014 album, El Pintor. The video mixes the track with footage from the 2018-19 Champions League.

Interpol are an American rock band from Manhattan, New York, formed in 1997. Their original line-up consisted of Paul Banks (vocals, rhythm guitar), Daniel Kessler (lead guitar, vocals), Carlos Dengler (bass guitar, keyboards) and Greg Drudy (drums, percussion). Drudy left the band in 2000 and was replaced by Sam Fogarino. In 2010, shortly after recording finished for the band's fourth album, Dengler left to pursue personal projects, resulting in Banks becoming the band's bass player.

Six Bands Who Formed During College

College campuses have notoriously been popular places for bands to form. While one’s studies are usually the main reason for attendance, college is also a place where people develop life-long friendships and relationships with other like-minded people. And for those that are musically inclined and have that special kind of chemistry, a successful band may not be too far behind.

With colleges all over the world celebrating their commencement activities this month, Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, is taking a look at bands that made it big out of college. Here are six whose rock star dreams became a reality.

1.       Vampire Weekend: When Vampire Weekend burst out onto the indie rock scene in 2006, they became known as “that band that formed at Columbia University.” The quartet of Ezra Koenig, Chris Tomson, Chris Baio and Rostam Batmanglij met while studying at the Ivy League school and didn’t waste any time getting music out. Their debut album was written and recorded while they were still students on campus.

2.       Coldplay: The guys of Coldplay met early on in their university careers, way before they ever had a single class in fact. Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland became friends in 1996 during orientation week at University College London. Less than a year later and with the additions of fellow classmate Guy Berryman, Martin’s friend Phil Harvey and Will Champion, the band started playing small clubs together.

3.       Queen: Brian May formed the band that would eventually become known as Queen while a student at Imperial College in London. He and high school friend Tim Staffell formed a band called Smile, recruiting drummer Roger Taylor through an ad in the college’s newspaper. Freddie Mercury, who was studying at Ealing Art College and was friends with Staffell, joined in 1970 following Staffell’s exit and that same year played their first show as Queen. That show happened to be at, where else, Imperial College.

4.       Pink Floyd: Before being known as Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Richard Wright were all architecture students at London Polytechnic playing music together as Sigma 6. Many of their early shows were played in the school’s Regent Street basement. About three years after forming, the band, now featuring Syd Barrett, would change their name to Pink Floyd and history would be made.

5.       Interpol: According to a 2003 interview with Pitchfork, Interpol formed at NYU, though they were not originally friends. Said Dan Kessler, “I approached everyone at some point or another, and started loosely jamming with our first drummer [Greg Drudy], who lived in the same dormitory as me; he was just starting to play drums, so it was very loose-- and bad. I was just happy to have someone to play with, to tell you the truth. I had a very hard time finding musicians to play with-- musicians at all, really-- and I saw Carlos in some class and approached him.”

6.       R.E.M.: Though three out of the four members of R.E.M. studied at the University of Georgia, the band did not meet on campus. Instead, mutual friend Kathleen O’Brien introduced Michael Stipe to fellow students Mike Mills and Bill Berry in fall 1979. Along with Peter Buck (who Stipe met at a record shop) the new band started playing music together in 1980. The new band played their first show at a nearby church at a gig set up to celebrate O’Brien’s birthday.

College campuses have historically been popular places for bands to form. From like-minded friends making music together to those who actively sought to recruit fellow musicians from their school or other means, the university atmosphere has bred many a band, including some very popular ones like the ones above. With the next group of college graduates heading out to follow their dreams, it is only a matter of time before the next big college band finds their way to the public eye.

yeah but how do we know that he's not

and maybe greg drudy will come back to drum as well

[flaneurforever]

Huc est mens deducta tua mea, Lesbia, culpa atque ita se officio perdidit ipsa suo, ut iam nec bene uelle queat tibi, si optima fias, nec desistere amare, omnia si facias.  - To this point here my mind has been dragged down, Lesbia, by your fault And so by its own devotion the mind itself has destroyed itself, As now it is not possible to respect you, if you should become very good, Nor is it able to stop loving you, even if you should do every bad thing.

Catullus, C. LXXV (in English by Greg Drudy)

[thewanderinguterus]

I love the fact that Interpol's first drummer was also Saetia/Hot Cross' drummer. 

[innervation]

We got both kinds: Post-punk and Screamo

So Interpol here

Used to share members with Saetia & Hot Cross:

and I can't seem to wrap my head around that concept.

[dharma-rust]

greg drudy

"While a member of Interpol, Greg Drudy was also a member of seminal first-wave screamo act Saetia."

they keep amending the wiki article with new things about the band i didn't know. i loved saetia growing up!
