Rolling Stone interview with Paul

Very nice, and funny, interview with Paul at Rolling Stone.

Going back to your solo work: is Julian Plenti done? Is he ever going to come back?
Well I did put out an EP called Julian Plenti Lives to sort of answer that.

And I read on a forum that you may be retiring the name.
Yeah, I think I will.  But when I say that the solo stuff existed before Interpol, I was supposed to be Julian Plenti in Interpol. That was my artist name when we were putting together Bright Lights.

We had a band meeting where I said, "OK, I'm going to be Julian Plenti," and they said, "Dude, we're all being ourselves, so why don't you drop the fucking weird name and just use your real name?" So I said, "All right, I'll use Julian Plenti for my solo work, and I'll be Paul Banks for the band."

I think it's hilarious that the band called you out on it.
Yeah, I know. And then Carlos fucking became Carlos D, and it was like, "Well, shouldn't you be Carlos Dengler if I'm fucking Paul Banks?" Whatever.

Interpol To Spend "A Lot Of 2015" In The UK

Listen to Daniel's interview with XFM last night.

"Speaking to XFM's Danielle Perry about the record, first single All The Rage Back Home and touring plans, guitarist Daniel Kessler admitted they do intend spend "a lot" of time here once El Pintor has been released.

"I think a lot of 2015 will be spent in the UK and so forth, he said. "We always enjoy playing shows in the UK.

"We did the March shows, the NME shows, and that was really tremendous to be back and get such a warm responsive welcome from everyone. Obviously Glastonbury and the recent London show we did were really special for us so I'm really looking forward to it. It's been really, truly a pleasure to be doing this run right now so, we're having a good time."

'All the Rage Back Home' now available

 'All the Rage Back Home' is available now on iTunes in Switzerland, Russia, Italy, France, and the US. Should be everywhere soon.
