The moment
The rock revival's class portrait, on one harbor stage: Interpol headlining on Antics, the Killers three days after John saw them in Central Park, Louis XIV carrying his design work, Robbers on High Street rounding the bill. June 2005 was the exact peak of the moment when guitars, eyeliner, and a good rhythm section could still conquer the world — and this package caught all of it in a single evening. John saw this bill's two ends twice in four days; the archive holds the whole week.
From the time
- Antics
“The 2004 album that made Interpol the rock revival's dark headliners.”
