Paul Banks - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@UnderTheMillkyWay]

Almost 19 years of my life loving interpol and Paul Banks. One of my favorite bands ever. I miss the beginning of loving this band for the first time.

[@roblosh8417]

I remember finding Antics in my dad’s CD collection after hearing them for the first time with Obstacle 1 on guitar hero. I just sat there with my eyes closed listening to it over and over not sure why it didn’t sound like Obstacle 1, until it sunk in that this was unlike anything I’ve ever heard or understood before. Truly some of the best musicians I’ve experienced in my life.

[@normssss]

@@roblosh8417 OMG your dad!

[@roblosh8417]

@@normssss Lol ikr? Rifling through that giant CD case put me on to so much good music at a young age

[@defgmx]

Turn on the Bright Lights was the album that made me an Interpol fan. The bass lines on that album helped write bass lines in a band I was in at the time! Truly influential!!!

[@ChrisTopheRaz]

I remember sitting in the library one night at ASU in 2002 and I heard obstacle 1 on some internet site while studying. I left the library immediately and went to warehouse records and bought the CD and listened to the whole album in my car in that parking lot. I can’t explain just how refreshing they were after a long hard grungy 90s. (Not like I didn’t love the music of the 90s).

[@alexwelts2553]

I've watched this every day for a week, and no sign of stopping.

[@nányë_almárëa]

Paul's voice is so addictive ...

[@PaulJulianBanksofficial]

Thank you for loving and playing my songs. You can believe me when I say all my songs come from my soul. I really appreciate the love and support I get from you all my lovely fans ❤

[@indie094]

My friend hung out backstage with interpol ans she says they are the nicest people ever.

[@kaesekrustechannel]

BH.INDEPENDENT or maybe Interpol hung in your friend instead

[@aguirreramosjavier]

Good for him, that's Paul banks, not interpol

[@FreshTake01]

I could see that

[@jome3206]

Wow.

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

I believe it. I hear Sam is a family man and he brings his family along on tour. Interpol had their drug phase early on, but I still have always seen them as good people. Paul was nice when I saw him in Pittsburgh also.

After being a fan of Interpol and Paul Banks for like 16 years I’m so happy to continue finding hidden treasures like this performance 😍 The best voice of all time 🖤🙌🏼 I can’t wait to listen it live for the fourth time.

why does this feel like he's playing at an awkward birthday party

[@EduardoHernandez-wy2hw]

haha, i thought something similar, for me it was like a town bar band, he seems a little uncomfortable

[@esthersita1990]

Talentoso y papasito que más puede pedirse ♥ ya sea en Interpol o como solista, en español o ingles simplemente la rompe. Paul siempre tan espectacular.

[@nataliajavier]

Totalmente d acuerdo Paul hoy en dia con la edad q tiene esta mas guapo q nunca y siempre sorprendiendo con sus nuevas canciones, ya sea d solista o con Interpol ♡

[@amandap.7096]

such an underrated artist, if we'd compare to what he actually deserves. brilliant, innovative lyrics. glad to stand at a time music hasn't completely turned into nonsense.

[@KxK96]

You know, when I first heard that Interpol sounded a lot like Joy Division, I thought it was one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.. but after listening to Paul Banks, I realize his live performances have a deeper voice tone, just like Ian Curtis.. So, I guess comparing Paul's voice with Ian's isn't a stupid idea at all..

[@johndoe604]

This album didnt get its due. Super underrated

[@darrenwalshe65]

love Interpol but just discovered this! love Paul's voice full stop he can't do anything wrong

[@KellieGregerson]

So fucking solid, I love that Paul always expresses what he creates no matter what the fan base reacts.

[@PaulJulianBanksofficial]

Thank you for loving and playing my songs. You can believe me when I say all my songs come from my soul. I really appreciate the love and support I get from you all my lovely fans ❤

[@1ElCondor]

Well here is a superb production level! Congratulations to competent technical team KEXP, audio, video, cameras. And, although it seems to me, Paul Banks, grew as a musician (from times of band Interpol), modulated vocals and more melodic, less syncopated, seems to abandon this way of giving us his "warnings" all the time. Peace.

[@TheRabidGlow]

Insanely beautiful music that "resuscitate my heartstrings."......BEHOLD!!!!!!

Después de tantos años sigue siendo mi concierto favorito, me recuerda las navidades con mi mamá (quien falleció) y con mi papá con quién vendía bolsas en un mercado de carnes. Era regresar y escuchar semejantes rolones, eso sí, un manjar cenar con mis viejos ❤

[@diegogaudramirez]

Recuerdo comer ciruelas envueltas en tocineta y beber cerveza barata en un sotano.

[@Peacecore09]

I could listen to Pail Banks sing the phone book and be a happy camper.

super underrated as a solo artist. Also fucking great performance!

The second guitarist is like "Because playing on a left handed guitar with the strings in the right position is too mainstream". Haha, hipsters are funny. Just kidding, awesome show :)

[@celicifucano9428]

that sweat drop at 11:07... he's really into it! :) I just came from Interpol and discovered his solo material... love it!

[@bradpoynting4691]

Hey, most of these tracks are from Paul's second solo album which was released under the title 'Banks' but a few of them are from his first solo album which was released under the name 'Julian Plenti.' Just letting you know so you can grab everything if you haven't already. Also - Interpol released the first single of their next album today called 'The Rover.'

[@celicifucano9428]

Brad Poynting yes, I knew it all, but thanks a lot! Now I can't stop listening to him/them...

[@DuanTorruellas]

Heard it when the album was launched and it was good. Still sounds good.

[@heyheymymind1939]

still awesome to listen to this in the late chaotic 2020

[@Mattsvids101]

Where did he get his band from? They look like ex-cons.

[@tysongarrett8688]

This song is pure Interpol

[@giannipaladini2929]

Still following my search for the truth in the removal of Interpol videos and comments, I communicate for those who do not already know that the video "Tidal Wave" has also been removed from KZbin with this words: "Video not available.This video includes content from Beggars, who have blocked it from being played in your country for copyright reasons" However, "coincidentally", they removed the video with the most views, while they left the other dozen of Tidal Wave scattered on the web. Now I am definitely convinced that all this does not happen in good faith.

[@titocamello]

Awesome! Love Paul's songs

[@xfranzy182x]

Eeeh, eeeh, is this live? Eeeh *laughs* lol

[@frankswildyear]

Love the tone of his voice

Paul should hire a REAL bass player. Brandon sucks. I´m a big fan of INTERPOL and Paul Banks, I have all the records but THIS band needs more practice and a bass player.

[@andrewhuesca3906]

Thanx KEXP for great daze of music, any way i can help, im there, just keep bring the talent here to seattle for live shows. Oh and EVite me

[@joecollado9068]

this performance doesn't really makes justice to what they really sound like live, I was them twice last december when they came to Mexico and they sounded a thousand times better than in this performance.

[@goodc713]

im not bitching at all SIR. i love all of pauls performances. after listening to the album over and over, you can pick up on things that are layerd on the recording. thats why the songs feel weird during the chorus. Paul does alot of double and sometime triple layers of vocals in different octaves which has always been his style. you just cant really get that same effect live. PAUL baNKS AND JULIAN PLENTI AND INTERPOL FOR LIFE!!

[@TruthSeeker310]

umm I agree with you on the wrinkles but the pockmarks/scars that you are referring to on Pauls handsome face are in fact moles and freckles. His smoking habit has no doubt helped him age a lot quicker over the years though.

[@Dillonmac96]

Drummer posture tho...

[@mp1922]

Great way of getting back to the song, only fans like me noticed things like that but is all good cause you are amazing PAUL BANKS!!!

[@rayhunzieker1836]

I LOVE THE LAST SONG ,BUT JUST BEFORE HE SINGS HE SHOW HE HAS A FUNNY SIDE WHEN HE SAYS UHHHH UHHHHH WHERE LIVE .AND SMILES

[@mrzapatrapa1]

[@Liamgamazo13]

[@Melaniapaleo]

I don't care if he looks old or what (well he is really sexy) but he is a great musician! And love how his voice sounds!

dude, that's not even true. Interpol is still together, even though Carlos left, Paul is just still doing this on his own time.
