Metro Distortion: Interpol: Tour Dates, Pre-Sales

Interpol hit up AOL.

Our Love to Admire drops next week and there are special offers at iTunes (ticket pre-sales via TicketBastard) and Insound (lithograph).

The new album is streaming right now at MTV's "The Leak". I got my first full listen bombing my way up the Jersey Turnpike with JK. And yes, that's the third time in four posts I mentioned that journey. And yes this album is fantastic. In the same way I anticipate Bloc Party and Pearl Jam releases - and recently The National has been rolling like this, too - I am foaming at the mouth for some B-Sides and rarities.

Pretty soon news like this is going to be uber-relevant for our respective locations. I'm not in LA yet, but someone out there is and there are album release parties at both LA and NYC on the following dates:

July 11 @ Sweet and Vicious in NYC presented by Other Music.
July 13 @ LA's Natural History Museum.

LA folk can get more info at KROQ.com.

I'll be popping my LA Forum cherry in October. * marks the new dates.
