A band worth all the hype

last Saturday night Mrs. Trousers and myself went to see Interpol at Brixton accademy ... a venue as you know I have not exactly been enamoured with lately due to the poor sound quality. Well as of now I take it all back ... as we arrived the excellent M83 were thrashing out 'don't save us from the flames' a BBC 6 and one of my own faves. So it all started well ... and I'm not gonna complain about £3.20 a pint or a massive que for the loo ... why I hear you say ... well, because ... INTERPOL were absolutely, menacingly, beautifully, euphorically BRILLIANT ... now that is bold and I realize that such superalatives are normally only reserved for the fab 4 (The Scratch... u doughnuts!) ... but everything about them reeked cool ... the lighting, the poses and of course the music ... there's so many wannabe bands around who have just plundered there uncle's old vinyl but without the class to carry it off. Interpol transcend all the bullshit. I urge you to see them whenever you can.
