Interpol took “Barricade” to Letterman the other night. This was fairly significant because it is the first time that we’ve gotten to see the new bass player in action. After Carlos Dengler left the band earlier this summer he was replaced by David Pajo. He looked a little uncomfortable considering he’s got quite a lengthy musical career, there was not much movement and he seemed to stay very focused on his fingering.

Is it just me or is Paul Banks getting less and less nerdy everyday? He’s looking pretty hip these days.
