Biography

Dressed in coordinated mod-inspired outfits while channeling the classic Brit-pop sounds of the 1960s, the Interpreters stood out among the most aggressively promoted emerging acts of the late 1990s. The Philadelphia trio—singer/bassist Herschel Gaer, guitarist Patsy Palladino, and drummer Branko Jakominich—came together in 1996 and staged their first show just weeks afterward at a fashionable New York City loft event. Momentum built almost at once, sparking a fierce contest among major labels that ended with a contract on Freeworld Entertainment. Early in 1997 the band cut the single “I Remember” under famed producer Shel Talmy; later that year they issued the EP In Rememberance of That Fine Fine Evening, produced by Hole’s Eric Erlandson. Their full-length debut, Back in the U.S.S.A., arrived in 1998.
