interpol return to studio

[suprefan]

Yeah, with a replacement.

[choice cat]

He was never called the "replacement"

[suprefan]

So what do you call the person then.

[choice cat]

Touring bass player. Don't make this out to be more than it is

[ficklecycle]

No one could ever replace Carlos D. He did more than just play bass. Including all the ladies.

On that note, thanks for everything Dave. It's because of you I finally got to hear The New live.

[Mammoth85]

Here, here. All they ever said was that Dave would be touring with them. They never made any allusions to Pajo becoming a new member of the band. Was a nice addition I thought though. I hope we get to have him back in the future.

[sbessiso]

No biggie

seriously. he added nothing to the live show. I forgot he was even there

[Mammoth85]

I imagine he was sort of subdued because of the pressure from the fans to fill in for Carlos D. He probably didn't want to behave to enthusiastically out of respect for the fans love of Interpols former bass player. Or maybe I'm full of shit, I don't know.

Not trying to be that guy....but it's "hear hear". I've seen you use it a few times now.

Is it really? Like in reference to hearing? I did not know, duly noted.

Iono, might have not meant anything but I pleaded to Pajo on facebook after the Fox Theater show for them to play NYC, The New, The Lighthouse and Safe Without when they came back to The Warfield and they played all 4 of them. That is one of the handful of times they have ever played Safe Without also.

Whether or not my pleading made a difference, I feel like Pajo had a significant role in bringing The New back to the stage and that alone earns mad respect from me.

[choice cat]

Apparently so, I was unaware of that until it was brought up by you and Richard. I am extremely grateful for that as well

If you really did have that influence, then thank you! I unfortunately did not get a chance to hear Safe Without which is easily one of my favorite tracks on the record. But the New and The Lighthouse were such a delight.

I agree Safe Without is great! I have a feeling Interpol will continue touring throughout the year though so you should have a few more chances to see it pop up. I am hoping they change up their setlist significantly again after the winter leg of the tour.

Paul could not do the chorus of Safe Without though, he would start saying Safe Wiii...and trail off and allow the keyboard player to finish it. Didn't bother me though as I was singing hella loud along to it anyways :-)

I'd love to see some more second half songs from the new album and some more OLTA on the next run, especially All Fired Up. I still haven't seen Memory Serves so I am thinking it is the most likely new song for me to hear at Coachella this year since they play it fairly often.

Yeah I've seen Memory Serves at nearly every show this tour now. Awesome song, but I was really looking forward to them subbing Safe Without for it at UCSB, was not so lucky.

However, they played 4 songs off OLTA, which I'm not certain but am almost sure that's the maximum amount of songs they've played off it at any show. For me that was a delight. I'm hoping for some interesting changes at their Coachella performance alongside this new visual installation the CreationProject is introducing.

From Interpol's FB:

"NYC! We have the good fortune to announce that we’ll be playing a show at Terminal 5 in New York City on May 8th with our friends Blonde Redhead as part of an event for Sickday. The pre-sale will be this Tuesday at 1PM EST via our website and the general public on-sale date will be March 25th."

[ficklecycle]

Oh yeah, I should have posted that. They've added a couple other shows too.

Well done. Boner approved.

I posted this in the Creator's Project thread, but it may be worth sharing here too: David Lynch's animation from Interpol's Coachella performance and backstory from the band are here.
