Interpol Is Going Parking

To mark the release of Interpol’s new album, you might think the indie rock band would be celebrating with a major gig at some fancy venue. Instead the guys are putting on a show in a Los Angeles parking lot.

Interpol’s self-titled fourth studio album is set for release Sept. 7 on Matador Records.

The “out-store performance” coincides with the album release and takes place in the parking lot at Space 15 Twenty at 1520 N. Cahuenga Blvd.

Doors are at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m. Make sure you arrive on time because the short but sweet show will “end promptly” at 8 p.m.

Although the free show is being held in a parking lot, the event is exclusive and limited to fans who pre-order the new album or buy it in person at select independent record shops Sept. 7. These fans will receive wristbands guaranteeing entry to the show.
