“New York cares.” That’s what the audience sang with Interpol‘s Paul Banks during the city indie anthem “NYC” as Governors Ball 2014 neared its close on Sunday. Throughout the weekend some of the city’s finest bands had made a return to festival stages, secured headliner statuses and played the most memorable sets of the fest for home crowds. For Interpol, it has just announced a new album, played two excellent new tracks and Sunday’s show at Governors Ball was the band’s “First home show for us in a long time.” A set heavy on the classics, Interpol played through “Obstacle 1,” “Slow Hands,” “Narc,” “Evil” and “Stella Was a Driver and She Was Always Down.” [Reverb]
The 2014 Governors Ball music festival wrapped up yesterday (6/8) after two other days of music on NYC’s Randall’s Island. The third and final day had sets from Vampire Weekend, Interpol (who along with The Strokes and Jack White’s set featuring White Stripes songs, brought us back over a decade), James Blake, The Kills, J. Cole, The Head and the Heart, Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt and more. Luckily, with today’s rain and Thursday’s, the weather held out for GovBall all weekend (unlike last year). Pictures of day 3 are in this post.
