Watch Interpol’s Carlos D Play Bass on "Late Night With Seth Meyers"

Carlos Dengler, aka Carlos D, who was a founding member and bassist of Interpol, left the band back in 2010. He is now a professional actor and is working on a book, as well as a one-man autobiographical show. This week, he briefly returned to playing music as a member of the 8G Band, the house band for “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” as Stereogum points out. Dengler tweeted that it was the “[first] time in almost a decade” that he’s played bass live. On Tuesday night’s episode, guest Tracy Morgan specifically pointed him out, telling Meyers, “I like that bass player. That’s my bass player over there.” Meyers asked, “You know Carlos?” Despite his amusement, Morgan answered, “No, I don’t.” Watch it below (starting at 2:13).

Fred Armisen leads the 8G Band. Past guests include St. Vincent (who filled in for Armisen as bandleader), J Mascis, Marnie Stern, and Eleanor Friedberger.
