Interpol

On September 23, 2000, Interpol delivered an electrifying performance of 'PDA' at Brownies in New York City, capturing a pivotal moment early in their career. Just a few months prior, they had released their debut album, 'Turn on the Bright Lights,' which was met with critical acclaim and helped shape the post-punk revival sound of the early 2000s. This live recording offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the band's energy and charisma, as they were still carving out their identity in the music scene. Interestingly, the song 'PDA' was often celebrated for its haunting lyrics and atmospheric instrumentation, resonating deeply with fans. Paul Banks' charismatic stage presence is palpable, as he connects with the intimate crowd, which would have been among the band’s first devoted followers. This performance serves as a time capsule, showcasing not just a band on the verge of stardom, but also the vibrant music culture of New York at the time.
