since bono’s back gave out and u2 has delayed their u.s. tour, interpol, who was sharing their stage this summer, has done the same. this was posted on their website -

” Good day to you all.

Unfortunately, due to the postponement of the upcoming U2 US dates, Interpol has had to rework its summer tour schedule.

With the exception of four shows, we have had to cancel our announced dates. Shows in Rochester, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Allentown will be happening. The rest of the shows will be rescheduled. If you have purchased tickets for a cancelled date, please contact the “point of purchase” and get a full refund.

We lament the change in plans, apologize for the inconvenience, and assure you that we’ll do you right – when the time is right and the light is nice. ”

when on rock star goes down… they all do.

interpol is planning on coming back this year, with out without carlos d. they’ve completed their new album and are opening for u2, which i still have mixed feelings about, but if you are in the midwest or the east coast, put on your happy face, they’ll be coming to a city near you.

wtf? wtf? wtf? interpol posted this on their website -

Dear fans,

As some of you have surely heard, Interpol has completed it’s new album.

It was recorded at Electric Lady Studios, New York, and mixed with Alan Moulder at Assault and Battery, London.

The four of us poured our collective heart into this music and we are very proud and excited to share it.

It’s a heavy record. But we’re feeling limber; and we’re going to carry it all around the world for you.

Touring begins this summer, so check here soon for announcements and show dates.

There is more:

Sadly, Carlos will not be joining us.

After the completion of the album, Carlos informed the rest of us that he would be leaving the band. He has decided to follow another path, and to pursue new goals. This separation is amicable, and we whole-heartedly wish him great happiness and success. We will remain, as always, deeply respectful fans of this blazingly talented individual.

We can tell you that we have some very exciting new recruits joining us on the road. So stay tuned – we will promptly be revealing the identities of these illustrious players.

We eagerly await the opportunity to reconvene with you all
- the greatest fans known to Rock.

Thank you.
Interpol

craaaazy. this is the second band member interpol will replace. dammit. i love me some carlos d. and who doesn’t? i single handedly witnessed him blaze trends with his famous locks and  fashion sense in new york and most importantly, he was a hell of a bassist for one of my all time favorite bands. what next mr d.?

my beloved interpol is not only coming out with a new album this year, they are joining rock legends u2 on their 360 degree tour this summer. lenny kravitz and the fray will also be joining the irish oldies but goodies. don’t know how i feel about interpol in the company of lenny kravitz and especially the fray, but i will force myself to forget it quickly.

07-03 toronto, ontario – rogers centre
