Interpol

On October 8, 2004, Interpol graced the stage of 'Late Night With Conan O'Brien', a significant moment as it highlighted their growing popularity in the indie rock scene. At this time, they had recently released their critically acclaimed album, 'Antics', in 2004, which built on the solid foundation laid by their debut, 'Turn on the Bright Lights'. 'Antics' featured standout tracks like 'Slow Hands', giving fans a taste of their signature sound — moody, atmospheric rock paired with tight instrumentation and introspective lyrics. Performing on a major late-night show was no small feat; it showcased their ascent from underground favorites to mainstream recognition, allowing them to reach a broader audience. It’s fascinating to consider how this performance might have influenced the trajectory of their career, cementing their place in the 2000s rock landscape.
