Review:
Interpol / Secret Machines @ Rock City 19/12/04
Words: Sarah Moore / Pics: Jo Astbury
For those with street cred this is the gig you've all been waiting for - and you won't have been disappointed.
Despite a glut of New York Nu-Punk guitar bands, Interpol have carved a sizeable niche for themselves. In Nottingham it’s the size of Rock City. Following the release of latest album ‘Antics’, a solid follow up to feted debut ‘Turn On The Bright Lights’, Interpol have toured hard. Tonight is the last night of a tour that began in Boston months ago and long-time support act Secret Machines take their honourable discharge with style.
Playing to a backdrop of blinding studio lights, the Secret Machines could be master criminals and you just wouldn’t know. The trio are near invisible as their back-lit silhouettes crank out heavily processed sheets of ambient noise and guitars. All the signs are, however, that their Secret is out. With the single ‘Sad and Lonely’ released Dec 27th in time for the January sales and album ‘’Now Here is Nowhere’ already receiving blanket coverage and rave reviews, their live show doesn’t disappoint. It’s a heady mix of radio-friendly and mind-expanding; like over-the-counter hallucinogenics at Boots. ’The Road Leads Where It’s Led’ and closing single ‘Now Here Is Nowhere’ stand out as Pink Floyd with a better ear for a pop anthem. Top stuff.
But the crowd are here for Interpol. The New Yorkers open with the relatively demure ‘Next Exit’, it’s opening lyrics (‘We ain’t going to the town/We’re going to the city’) could have been penned for Rock City; its crystalline guitars and frontman Paul Banks’ trademark dead-pan vocals mark a prelude to a set of pacy punked-up guitar flourishes, heavenly hooks, all-consuming melodies and dark synth atmospherics.
Live all the overt 80’s references are there; Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division, The Smiths etc. It’s obvious what Banks and co. grew up listening to, but Interpol are not derivative, they’ve forged a sound, which, despite the bands tight aesthetic leash, is not a case of style over content. ‘Narco’ and ‘Time is My Vessel’ prove the point with Samuel Fogarino putting 4 to the floor with metronomic precision whilst bassist Carlos Dengler indulges in some punchy white funk and frankly disco bothering bass-line alchemy used by the likes of (dare I say it) Duran Duran. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Dengler is the spitting image of himself, coiffured to a fault with sideburns that could split atoms; he maintains an air of Kraftwerk robotics throughout the night and ultimately leaves the stage without a hair out of place.
Banks engages the crowd with sparse words, but, despite some near awkward silences between songs, he makes sure John Peel receives his due. ‘Ya’ll miss John Peel? God bless John Peel’ he says part way through the set, before ‘NYC’, the relentless ‘Not Even Jail’ and ‘Slow Hands’ roll out. The performance is dark and watertight. A short encore of ‘Lief Erikson’ and winter cooler ‘Roland’ and the band leave the stage to calls for more and the wailing of guitar feedback flat-lining.
От себя добавлю, что концерт очень драйвовый, рекомнедую тем, кто вынужден считать лишние мегабайты именно его.
