Interpol

On March 10, 2001, Interpol performed at Brownies in New York, capturing a pivotal moment early in their career. This live recording features 'Next Exit,' a track from their debut album 'Turn On the Bright Lights,' which had been released just months earlier in August 2002. The performance reflects the band’s raw energy and evolving sound, as they were still riding the wave of their underground acclaim. Interestingly, this particular show marked the second time 'Next Exit' was played live, showcasing the song's growing presence in their setlist. The performance later became part of the 'Love Will Get You Down' bootleg, further solidifying its importance among fans. The vibe at small venues like Brownies allowed Interpol’s post-punk revival sound to resonate closely with an intimate audience, capturing a moment that's both nostalgic and foundational in their journey.
