Critic Consensus
Based on 11 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Paul Banks is rated as a neither good nor bad live performer, with mediocre shows overall. Paul Banks concert reviews describe live shows and performances as mysterious, melodic, haunting, and resonant.
So it was hardly a surprise to see the infamously mysterious and chilly frontman in a state of almost total silence for the majority of the night’s set.
We know what to expect with Paul Banks's regular job as frontman of New York-based melancholy rockers Interpol: black-clad musicians, starkly melodic basslines, and an atmosphere that suggests someone just died.
Banks has definitely fine-tuned his craft outside of Interpol and his alias Julian Plenti, with many tunes in the set from Julian Plenti is… Skyscraper, which have much more convinction and drive this time around.
