School of Seven Bells -- an indie supergroup of sorts featuring Secret Machines' Benjamin Curtis and twin vocalists Alejandra and Claudia Deheza from On! Air! Library! -- owe their existence to Interpol. "We met in 2004," Alejandra tells Spinner. "Both of our bands were on tour with Interpol, and we started talking about music."

"Alejandra had the idea for the name and the concept, and I was really excited about it," Curtis added. "Then three years later it actually happened."

The band recently released their spacey debut, 'Alpinisms,' and toured with fellow indie beloved Blonde Redhead. "They've done this so well from the beginning and they're so open to new bands," Alejandra says of Blonde Redhead. "They're kind of like our big brother band."
