Everything about Daniel Kessler totally explained
Daniel Alexander Kessler (born
September 25,
1974 in
London,
England) is the
guitarist and
backup vocalist for the
New York City-based band
Interpol. He was raised in the
United States.
It was Kessler's desire to play in a real band which made him approach
Carlos Dengler, with whom he attended a history class in
New York University. Kessler knew
lead singer Paul Banks from a summer program in
Paris,
France, and asked him to join the band when he ran into him in New York. Kessler's dormmate
Greg Drudy was
Interpol's first
drummer. When Drudy left the band, Kessler asked his friend
Sam Fogarino to replace him.
Kessler had prior experience in the music industry while working for
Domino Records, and his knowledge of the business was very helpful to the band in their early years. He brought all the members together, and has said that he was looking mostly for specific personal qualities each member could bring to the group rather than just musical talent. He is a graduate of
New York University's (NYU)
Gallatin School of Individualized Study in
French,
film and
literature.
In the bands early days, he was seen playing a red
Rickenbacker, but has since been seen playing a sunburst
Epiphone Casino and a red
Gibson ES-335. His pedalboard includes an MXR Micro Amp, two BOSS DD-5 pedals, Tech 21 Comptortion, Vox V810, BOSS TR-2 tremolo, and a BOSS TU-2 tuner.
Kessler currently resides in
Tribeca,
Manhattan and is the only band member who is a
vegetarian and doesn't
smoke. He also is fluent in
French.
