Interpol

In June 2003, Interpol was riding high on the success of their debut album, 'Turn On the Bright Lights,' which had just been released the previous year. This live performance at the Underground in Cologne showcases the band at a pivotal moment, capturing their post-punk revival sound that was buzzing through the music scene. The setlist includes fan favorites like 'PDA' and 'Obstacle 1,' illustrating how they were connecting with audiences in an electrifying way. Fun fact: during this time, their atmospheric music and moody lyrics drew comparisons to legends like Joy Division, but they were carving out their own niche. The energy in the room during this performance is palpable, a testament to the band's rising prominence and the intense emotions that their music evokes. Truly, it feels like a snapshot of a band on the brink of greater things!
