Three years ago Bristol‘s red-boiling punk gang IDLES made a spectacular appearance
on the British TV show ‘Later… with Jools Holland’ playing a fiery version of ‘Danny Nedelko‘ from their second LP.
At one point cameramen had no clue what was going on.
Brilliant! Watch the tumultuous performance here…

10 December 2021
Band: INTERPOL
Who: Celebrated post-punk
rockers from New York City
Active: 1997-present / 6 LPs
Song: NYC
A slow-burning and glowing torch, with
a spine-chilling guitar line starting around
the 2-minute mark and gleaming until the
very last second. Pure magic!
From their 2002 debut album
Turn On The Bright Lights.
Great lyrics too…
I had seven faces
Thought I knew which one to wear
I’m sick of spending these lonely nights
Training myself not to care
The subway is a porno
The pavements they are a mess
I know you’ve supported me for a long time
Somehow I’m not impressed
But New York cares (got to be some more change in my life)
New York cares (got to be some more change in my life)
