Interpol

On August 12, 2001, Interpol delivered a mesmerizing performance of 'Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down' at the La Route Du Rock festival in Saint-Père, France. At this point in their career, the band was riding high on the waves created by their debut album, 'Turn on the Bright Lights', released just a year earlier in 2002. This album was pivotal, helping to define the post-punk revival sound and establishing Interpol as key players in the indie rock scene. Playing live in such an energetic setting allowed them to connect deeply with fans, showcasing their haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes. Fun fact: this live recording immortalizes a period when the band was still experimental, honing their craft and feeding off the raw energy of ecstatic festival crowds.
