Interpol coming to Disco Rodeo May 4th




Interpol came on the scene in 1997 as a dark symbol of New York's gritty indie rock scene  pulling inspiration from goth bands such as Joy Division, The Sisters of Mercy and Bauhaus - save the ghoulishness.  Their debut album, Turn on the Bright Lights, contained a razor sharp collection of songs and was well received by the indie music crowd and beyond.  Paul Banks' throaty vocals and Carlos Dengler's thudding bass licks gave birth to an ominous sound belonging to Interpol alone.  Raleigh is fortunate to have such an authentic group perform.  Try and get tickets to the May 4th show at Disco Rodeo in Raleigh.
