Two pretty good shows make one great one

Scheduling changes bring Interpol, Liars and Shout Out Louds to the same stage

The band that epitomizes the term “New York City hipsters” will be hitting up Salt Lake’s In The Venue on Monday, Oct. 15. Interpol is currently touring to support the release of their new album, Our Love To Admire.

But this trip to town for Interpol has had its fair share of twists and changes. First, the tour was scheduled for the McKay Events Center with Cold War Kids. Then Cold War Kids decided to take a spot on the White Stripes’ tour that never happened. Now the show has changed to In The Venue, which provides a little more intimate atmosphere.

Currently taking the supporting role for the show, opening up for Interpol is another group who got together in New York City and recently released an album – Liars (that’s the name of the band, not an accusation). Liars’ new self-titled album hit shelves at the end of August.

Then to shake things up a little bit, Oct. 15 was also the night Swedish indie pop outfit Shout Out Louds planned to play a show at Urban Lounge in Salt Lake City. Turns out Morrisey and a couple of other shows are scheduled for the same evening.

So, as confirmed just this past week with Postfontaine, who organized both the Shout Out Louds and Interpol shows, the Shout Out Louds cancelled their appearance at Urban Lounge and have now been added to the bill for the show with Interpol.

Unless you’re a die-hard Smiths fan or love Morrissey’s ravishing chest hairs, Oct. 15 at In The Venue is the place to be. Three of indie’s hippest bands on the scene right now will be all together in the same place on the same night, united by a series of scheduling changes that created the next in a series of must-see shows coming to the area over the course of the fall season.

The show is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. that evening and tickets are priced at $27 if purchased in advance or $30 the day of the show. Tickets, regardless of when their purchased will also have a service fee of $4.50.
