Coachella Photos: Interpol Uninspire on Day One

By Johnny Firecloud

As we saw on Day One of Coachella 2015 on Friday, New York broodrockers Interpol continue to ride the good looks and monotone-vocal of frontman Paul Banks, but their live presence leaves a great deal to be desired. Pulling heavily from their latest album El Pintor, the band damn near put us to sleep as we positioned ourselves for good viewing of AC/DC, who would follow Tame Impala to close out the night.

We wanted to love it, but the gravity just. wasn’t. there. Besides, there was no sense being bummed about it – our experience was tantamount to being disappointed in the bread before a killer 20 course meal, as delivered by the reigning rock-veteran gods AC/DC. No matter the case, check out a full photo gallery from Interpol’s performance below:
