This has been a big week for two of my all-time favorite bands. This past Tuesday highly anticipated (an extreme understatement) albums were released by Spoon and Interpol to much critical acclaim.
Interpol then appeared on Letterman later that night and Spoon followed suit on Wednesday night. It didn't seem like either band was at their best during the performances, but I attribute that to my high expectation level, Dave's crappy soundstage, Britt's acoustic guitar, and Paul's ugly hat. I have, however, seen both of these bands in person over the past couple months and I can vouch that both put on a ginormous live show so I know they are capable of a little more than what was on display this week. Dave also mentioned that he was a big fan of both groups, and I'm still trying to figure out if that made me feel better or worse.
For those who want to see what these bands are really capable of: they have both announced upcoming shows here locally, and conveniently both went on sale this morning at 10 am. Interpol will be playing at The Palladium on September 27th and Spoon will be with The New Pornographers at House of Blues on November 2nd.
