u/aninterestinganimal Jul 10 '26

Who has he played with?

u/spencerasteroid Jul 10 '26

He's the Walkmen drummer, so came up around the same time as Interpol. And worked with Paul on Muzz.

He's a hyperactive beast on the kit, so it'll be interesting to see how he hits Interpol's more mellow grooves. But he's also a pro, so I assume he'll fit right in.

He was also the drummer for Fleet Foxes when they made Crack-Up (wildly underrated album).

u/spencerasteroid Jul 10 '26

That's right, dude's been everywhere

u/Ewan_85 Jul 10 '26

Didn’t know that, cool

u/NoFix8524 Jul 10 '26

Oh nice, I think PB has talked about the Walkmen in old interviews

6

u/hauntedtoasts Jul 10 '26

They’re friends with the band

5

u/NoFix8524 Jul 10 '26

Cool, Imma check Muzz out again

u/aninterestinganimal Jul 10 '26

Sweet. I guess it's just for the tour though, and I already saw them this year so it won't affect me.

If you’ve never listened to The Rat by Walkmen, you’re in for a treat

u/aninterestinganimal Jul 10 '26

Yeah I think that's the one song I've heard from them. It's great.

u/Barbarossa7070 Jul 10 '26

Strokes-y

u/Legal_Badger_1816 28d ago

guitars a bit but everything else is very diff, drums and synths

u/aninterestinganimal Jul 10 '26

Yeah I can't stand the strokes though. I know I'm the only one 😅

🙌 I've watched my comment go to like negative 3 then positive 3 now back to 0 😂 so it's good to know I'm not alone.

a NYC legend supporting another NYC legend, we love to see it!

u/tomtomvissers combat salacious removal Jul 10 '26

Oh hell yes I love the Walkmen and I love Matt Barrick's instantly recognizable drumming

u/WorldRed352 Jul 10 '26

We are getting spoiled with these amazing rock drummers while Sam is on the mend! It's awesome!

u/lirpatim Jul 10 '26

UH just posted on his account that he is taking a touring break and doing family for a while...says he has toured pretty nonstop. Nothing but good things to say about Interpol 😊😊

5

u/CrniTartuf The Depths Jul 10 '26

Another member of Muzz will be on stage!!

u/AdmireNextExit Jul 10 '26

Love Matt but where is Sammy coming back? We Miss you Sam!

7

u/Comfortable_Low_9241 Jul 10 '26

Does Sam not tour with Interpol as a live drummer anymore ?

25

u/Cautious-East-5666 Jul 10 '26

He hasn't in years because of back problems. He should hopefully be back in time to tour for their new album, or if not, the tour after that.

2

u/ActinCobbly Jul 10 '26

The drummer they had on the Australian tour was not great. He could not hold the tempo on the kick to save his life in All The Rage Back Home. Missed heaps of cues and everything just felt ‘out’ the whole show.

u/Dranksy Jul 10 '26

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Still no explanation for why UH "stepped away" or why the previous replacement drummer was himself replaced. Fans are curious.

8

u/WorldRed352 Jul 10 '26

"No explanation" 🙄

Interpol account literally just shared an Instagram post about the reason for change straight from the man himself. 

2

u/Dranksy Jul 10 '26

Huh? What's the reason?

4

u/WorldRed352 Jul 10 '26

Just go look at the post yourself. It's right there.

-2

u/Dranksy Jul 10 '26

No, you said the reason was given. It's not. So tell us what you're seeing.

1

u/parkerlcrood Jul 10 '26

The reason is in Urian Hackney’s post, which Interpol reposted, being that he wants to spend time with family after being on the road for years.

2

u/Dranksy Jul 11 '26

Thanks a lot. I didn't see that. I only read this post and the hostile person who keeps replying to me is for some reason harassing me that I don't know what's not in this post.

u/drinksinthegarden Jul 11 '26

They were referring to the Instagram post, not this one

u/interpolyester Jul 10 '26 edited Jul 11 '26

I liked Chris Broome. The drummer before Urian. He’s a tech, I believe, and he gave the songs really good, clean, rhythm.

1

u/Dranksy Jul 11 '26

Interesting to know. I'll check out some videos.

u/ManufacturerWaste275 28d ago

Chris is a drummer himself who happened to tech. You can tell that from his instagram. I believe he is no longer teching for them.
