Adios Carlos

I saw Interpol at the Williamsburg Hall of Music on Friday. It was a surprise gig to celebrate the launch of their fourth album, released last week. It was also the first gig they have played in New York since announcing in July that Carlos Dengler was leaving the band after they had finished recording their album. Big shoes to fill for the new guy but they played really well. At the end of 'NYC', singer Paul Banks said that they had written that song just a couple of streets away on N 4th St. Apparently Carlos is now composing classical music as well as DJing.
