I read somewhere, sometime ago that Paul Banks was teased in his adolescence for being a narc. Funnily enough, when forming Interpol in 1998 he encouraged the adoption of aliases for his troupe. For the exception of Carlos D. it didn't take. Until now.
Under the adopted moniker Julian Plenti, Paul released his first solo album ~ Julian Plenti is... Skyscraper ~ on August 4th, 2009. Really driving the alias home, Paul.
Here's the video for Games for Days featuring the Canadian born Emily Haines of Metric as... the woman.
Paul, err, Julian Plenti will be playing at the Guggenheim Museum on Friday night for many many many many dollars. Really? I remember when Paul and his whole band would play for, like, twelve bucks. And he's not even from Brooklyn... ~ had to follow the Gugg-link for that one.
