Coachella: Interpol Unleashes Its Antics
Who'd want to follow the Johansson And Mary Chain's triumphant showing? Doubt they had a say in the matter, but the onus fell on the gloomy lads of Interpol to appease a massive crowd of JAMC leftovers, Björk anticipators, and fans of tapered black slacks. Following a stage-setting slab of ambient noise, Daniel Kessler struck the chiming, minor-key guitar line of Our Love To Admire slow jam "Pioneer To The Falls," the first of three tunes -- along with "Mammoth" and Paul's jilted-lover lament "The Heinrich Maneuver" -- from the forthcoming, July-released record. (Hear "Pioneer" and "The Heinrich Maneuver" here.)
New stuff sounded good, but the crowd was in it for the hits. As the last of "Pioneer" faded out, Banks's guitar kicked off an kick-ass "Obstacle 1," met with the requisite fest-wide roar of approval. This the Brooklyn kids' first tour since October '05, but you wouldn't know it if we didn't just tell ya. The shite was tight, straight through to set-closing pummel and joy division of "Not Even Jail."
And not to be outdone with celeb starpower, Interpol drew a VIP cheering section with Paris Hilton and a crew of cronies standing front row (on a rafter so as not to be missed). No celeb duets for this set. Thank god. More sweet pics from our now-operational cam (including one of our inevitable Parisite sighting) and full setlist after the jump.

Has Carlos D been working as a sheriff in one of those Wild West period-recreation towns during his downtime? Nice departure from the goth\Germanic bloodsucker look, anyway!

Why would you include a photo of that talentless non-celebrity Paris Hilton with photos of Interpol? If the band has reached the status where they are drawing fad followers like Hilton, who are more concerned with the cellphone in their hand than the music, maybe it is time to reevaluate Interpol's 15 minutes.
Score = 0
Reason No. 1 why Bonnaroo is better than Coachella: no talentless, lecherous skanks hanging out on the side of the stage next to a band they barely know hof but doing it because it'll make them look cool.

as mentioned by Nick - Paul isn't fat anymore!
don't rip into me with that whole "looks aren't important" argument. I KNOW. i'm just glad he's taking care of himself. he looks good. Daniel is also looking rather svelte.
Carlos' new look is interesting! i laughed out loud!
can't wait to hear the new stuff.

They all look so bad ass. I also join the white noise that is "Paris wtf?." Oh, and where the hell is sam in this photo set?
Score = 0
I think it's now obvious -- Paris gave Carlos the herpes. Or vice versa. Who knows?
Score = 0
I thought Carlos likes fat girls. Therefore, he wouldn't be getting it from Paris.
