Interpol
Interpol live performance of NYC at LOGO in Hamburg, Germany
In late 2002, Interpol was riding high on the wave of their debut album, 'Turn on the Bright Lights,' which had been released just a few months earlier in August. This was a turning point for the band, as they were not only gaining traction in the U.S. post-9/11 music scene but also making significant inroads in Europe. The live recording from LOGO in Hamburg captures their raw energy and tight performance style, emblematic of their early work. Interestingly, this show took place right before a European tour that would further establish their reputation as a compelling live act. Fans and critics alike praised their ability to blend moody soundscapes with sharp post-punk melodies, a signature that still resonates in today's indie rock landscape. It's a thrill to look back at this performance, showcasing the budding artistry of a band that would go on to redefine the genre.
