Interpol - Barricade Live Performance at Enmore Theatre in Sydney
During the recording of 'Barricade' on September 7, 2010, Interpol was deep into the promotion of their self-titled album, released just that month. This was a pivotal moment for the band, marking their first release after a four-year hiatus. The album signaled a refreshed sound while still keeping to their iconic post-punk roots, which fans had eagerly awaited since 'Our Love to Admire' in 2007. The performance in Sydney on January 4, 2011, showcased not just their new material but also the return of a band that had carved a niche in the indie rock scene. It's interesting to note how their live shows often combine moody atmospheres with gripping lyrics, creating an electric experience for fans. This particular period saw Interpol balancing the nostalgia of their earlier hits with the excitement of new music, inviting audiences on a journey through their evolving sound.
