TMT 164: REWIND: Carlos Dengler Interview

This episode is a repeat of my 100th show from October 2016 featuring my most-downloaded interview with Carlos Dengler. In another lifetime, Carlos D was the slick-haired, style- conscious, all-black wearing bassist of the band Interpol. Since leaving the "post-punk revivalists" group in 2010, he's returned to the public consciousness as theater actor Carlos Dengler. Carlos has never spoken publicly about his departure from Interpol, but in this exclusive TMT conversation he shares why he abruptly left after four studio albums and three tours. This is his personal story of the highs, the lows and even the band therapy. In addition to his candid revelations about the band, Carlos discusses both his traumatic childhood and overcoming a drug addiction while still in Interpol. During the intervening six years, Carlos pursued a career in acting that would include receiving an MFA from NYU's Acting Program and staging his first solo show, Homo Sapiens Interruptus. In August 2016, the hour-long monologue premiered in New York to positive reviews and sold-out performances as a part of the Fringe Festival. Due to its success, the show later returned as a part of the festival's Fringe Encore series for a two-week October run.

Thank you for doing this interview. Carlos is my favorite member of Interpol and they've never been the same after he left. He's a very soulful musician and I wish he would swallow his pride and go back to the band and explain things to them. Perhaps he wouldn't want to go back with them, but if he doesn't, I believe it would be a mistake. His music touched my heart in a very serious way. His bass playing was the best I've ever heard.
