Interpol comes to the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre on Saturday August 21st at 9PM.
Interpol rose to international attention as part of New York City’s post-punk revival. The group took its cues from Joy Division and the Chameleons, fashioning a darkly atmospheric sound helmed by intricate guitars and Paul Banks’ somber baritone. Interpol also had a striking visual presence marked by the members’ fondness for suits, which only strengthened their stately, British-influenced appeal. Regular appearances at New York venues like Brownie’s and the Mercury Lounge helped endear Interpol to local audiences. Meanwhile, a brief U.K. tour was punctuated by a radio session for John Peel’s BBC program, which expanded the band’s audience overseas. Matador Records signed the band and by the end of the year, the independent label had issued both a three-song single and the band’s debut LP, Turn on the Bright Lights. The album turned Interpol into a successful indie rock act, providing further proof that New York City had become a hub of marketable post-punk revivalism in the early 21st century. Extensive touring followed, including international dates and television appearances. The band also opened for the Cure as part of that band’s Curiosa Festival; soon after, Interpol released its second album, Antics. Three songs entered the Top 40 charts in the U.K., where the record later went gold.
