Nadine O'Regan interviewed Bryce Dessner from The National on her show on Phantom FM today ahead of the band's 3 night stand in The Olympia. It was a really lengthy and interesting chat touching on the band's history, their inspirations and heroes, their working methods and the way they've grown in popularity since people realised that Alligator is one of the best records of the past decade. She also had an exclusive version of "Fake Empire" from their last gig in Ireland where Matt Berninger's voice could barely be heard above the crowd. If you're a fan of the band it's really worth your while listening to the interview.
The Kiosk is repeated tomorrow at 8AM but they've also started podcasting recently and you should be able to find it here once the latest one goes up.
The National play in the Olympia on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and will be back in Belfast in a couple of months.

They looked like a load of dummies fell off a truck en route to the Wax Museum on Tubridy last night, such was their stage presence
Thanks for the comments:-) The interview was great to do -- Bryce was absolutely lovely. I'm looking forward to the gig...
Can't wait, despite the somewhat lacklustre Tubridy appearence. I'm not sure if they're a band that in a single live song can get over well.
Hi Ian, I have 2 tickets (standing) for the national on thursday night, if you know anyone thats interested.
I'll look into it.
Philip. I have a taker for one of your Thursday tickets. A guy I know is flying in from Swedan for the gig but is ticketless. Is it cost price? Mail me at ihwrightATyahooDOTie and we'll try to set something up.
