Interpol Plans Re-Release Of 'Admire' With Bonus DVD

Prefix reports: *Apparently the people at Capitol Records are on austerity. Reports of floors being littered with empty cups of Ramen and the remnants of condiment sandwiches are circulating around the record industry. Furthering this rumor is news that Interpol will be releasing a live DVD as part of a November 9th reissue of Our Love to Admire. The album that the band already released this year. So, they are releasing it again. But wait, this one comes with a DVD! So it’s totally different from the original album. That the band already released. This year. For those of you who MUST own everything Interpol however, you will be happy to know that the DVD is chock full of all of that measured, restrained charisma that makes the band spectacular live. Performances include: Pioneer, Narc, The Heinrich Maneuver, Mammoth, Slow Hands and Evil in addition to videos for The Heinrich Maneuver and No I in Threesome. All proceeds will go to the “Save the Record Industry” Fund.*

Interpol: Quite Possibly Ready For Their 'Kid A'

Carlos D shares the following words with Spin Mag regarding their latest LP, Our Love To Admire, and post-LP3 plans:

“I realized this album [Our Love To Admire] was going to be something special. Now that we’ve gotten this record out of the way, I’m thinking about the fourth record. We can really do our Kid A or Amnesiac.”

MP3: Interpol - Who Do You Think?

Carlos D's Herpetic Outbreak Cancels Interpol Gig?

You be the judge of this article lifted from Contact Music earlier this morning: *INTERPOL were forced to cancel a U.K. gig after a band member was struck down by a mystery illness. The group were due to play at the Newcastle Academy venue on Tuesday (21Aug07), but pulled out at the last minute. The band have so far failed to reveal the nature of the illness or which member it affects, but fans on the group's message boards suggest it was bassist Carlos Dengler.

Interpol are scheduled to appear at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange venue on Wednesday (22 August 2007), as well as this weekend's (25-26 August 2007) Reading and Leeds Festivals.*

Interpol Responds To Editors Jab

Interpol drummer, Paul Fogarino, said the following (via Culture Deluxe) this past weekend: "Why I feel sorry for them is that we put out our first album Turn on the Bright Lights and we're fucking Joy Division reincarnated, and then the Editors appear and they're the British Interpol.

Just leave them alone and leave us alone. If indeed they have influence from us I think that's flattering."

Original Editors comment can be read here.

Editors Respond To Interpol Comparisons

It doesn't sound like Editors frontman, Tom Smith, is a happy camper. Check out the following quotes, via Culture Deluxe regarding the band's much-discussed similarities with Interpol: "If you're a music journalist saying that then you're deaf and need a new job."

"When people dismiss us as a second-rate whoever it pisses you off. Vocally there is a similarity with Interpol and that's fine but our first album 'The Back Room' doesn't sound anything like them. What amazes me is we still get that on this record, 'An End Has A Start', which sounds nothing like Interpol or Joy Division."

No disrespect to Tom, as I understand his frustration and have much love for Editors, but to say that the band sounds 'nothing like Interpol or Joy Division' is really quite absurd.

Liars To Open For Interpol's Fall Tour

Interesting choice.

I'm not really sure how well Liars' live shtick will translate at mega-theaters and arenas on Interpol's forthcoming North American tour (all dates here), but here's hoping it's a major success. Confirmation via B-Vegan.
