Lead guitarist Daniel Kessler has developed into a serious show-stopping performer, rarely taking a break from dance moves that would fill Elvis with envy. But that didn't stop him from playing every riff with effortless precision.

Bassist Carlos D is another charismatic piece of the puzzle, laying out bass-lines that truly carry the band's records. Now seen sporting a mustache that depicts him as a sort of gothic Colonel Sanders, Carlos no longer resembles Crispin Glover in Charlie's Angels. However, he still stalks the stage like a vampire (even beginning the night in a cloak similar to Dracula's), often ending songs by sticking the neck of his bass into the stage.

After an hour on stage, Interpol left the crowd dying for more. The fans continued screaming its collective throats hoarse until the band returned for its all-too-brief encore, consisting of three songs from debut album "Turn On The Bright Lights." Closing song "PDA" was a clear stand-out, with a stunning outro that borders on spiritual experience. Like many of Interpol's songs, it was no less than amazing. The show could've gone on all night, and it is doubtful anyone could've possibly left early. Eyes were glued to the stage, in awe of one of the finest bands of this generation.

One would be hard-pressed to find another new band so stylish, and yet so shy. A band so introspective, and yet so punk at its roots. A band so oft-compared to others, yet so unique. Besides, let us not forget that Joy Division will go down as one of the defining bands of its genre, and Interpol is only getting warmed up.
