Everyone's favorite New York band, Interpol, has a new album coming out...and apparently the band have become muses to some. (The album is called Antics and drops on 9/24. Although we'd be willing to bet that most of you have heard it by now, buy it when it comes out anyway!)
So back to our rock muses...tomorrow night marks the opening of the Interpol Antics NYC art space. What better way to kick off this collaboration of art and music then with a party! Right? Details below...
