Interpol

In September 2004, Interpol was riding the wave of their second studio album, 'Antics,' which had been released just a year earlier. This album showcased their signature post-punk revival sound and included hits like 'Evil' and 'Slow Hands,' which had begun to earn them both critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. The live recording at La Boule Noire captures the band's raw energy during an intimate performance, a hallmark of their early shows. Interesting tidbit: this was part of their 2nd Black Session, a series that highlighted live music's vibrancy and unpredictability. It’s fascinating to see how the atmosphere in the small Paris venue complemented the band’s atmospheric sound, making it an unforgettable night for those lucky enough to be there.
