Let’s talk about Interpol – the band
I missed it, but the other night Interpol was on Letterman, but with the magic of YouTube, I was able to view it. Interpol played ‘Barricade’, a single that is currently on iTunes and off of their upcoming self titled new album (I can’t wait). I have to say I really dig these guys. I definitely have a thing for the baritone vocal style (ala Joy Division, National, etc).
Here is the video (provided by davegrohlsfreshpots,but I think TheAudioPerv.com captured it?)
I noticed Paul Banks (the singer/guitarist) was riding a Pedaltrain 2 pedal board, it got me thinking about gear. From this performance, I was unable to see what pedals were there, but I did find a photo on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lavid/4130457946/ lavid has some other great shots of other artists, too!) of Paul with a decent shot of the pedal board. The photo was taken (or at least uploaded) on 11/23/2009, so it’s fairly recent.
Based off of this shot, I see the following:
Electro-Harmonix POG2 Polyphonic Octave Generator
Blackstar HT Series HT-DUAL Tube Distortion
Boss DS-1 Distortion? (bottom row, second from left)
WayHuge Aqua Puss
Boss TU-2 Tuner
MXR M-401 Boost Pedal (top row, left) – not sure.. possible carbon copy?

This photo was taken during the Paul Banks’ solo tour (under the name of Julian Plenti). It’s not the same pedalboard and gear with Interpol (there are more pedals on his pedalboard with Interpol)

Hey, i love Interpol, I saw them at the crocodile rock in allentown PA recently, I love there guitar tone, Can’t wait for new album, The first single “lights” Had a creepy but awesome hook, but it took me a while to get into it, when i saw them play it live, i thought I was friggin high when the bass drum kicks in, There are prolly the only band that can stand perfectly still on stage, and not bore cause the music moves you so much!
