Sold Out...

Saw Interpol for the 4th time tonight. As usual, they were well-polished and their rhythm and timing was impeccable. They played a balanced set of Bright Lights and Antics songs, beginning with "Next Exit" and ending with "Roland".

The place was packed to capacity and unfortunately, due to Spring Break, it attracted some of the college guys in town to show up and drink, wear their hats backwards, and high-five each other as they saw good-looking women. The show was only secondary to their pursuits.

My first Interpol show seeing people two-fisting beers.
(Yes, I am saying they are not just the fans' band anymore.)

The set seemed entirely too brief for me, but I am prejudiced, I guess. How long can a band play on two albums?

I would have liked to see them do "Song Seven" or "Precipitate", the only two I have never seen them perform live.

Ultimately, I got to re-live a lot of special moments during their set so I had a good time.
