The Interpreters were a Power pop band formed in Philadelphia in 1996. They were composed of singer/bassist Herschel Gaer, guitarist Patsy (Paul) Palladino and drummer Branko Jakominich. In 1997 they released the EP "In Rememberance[sic] of That Fine, Fine Evening" which was produced by Eric Erlandson the guitarist of Hole. The band released a full length album "Back In The U.S.S.A." on RCA Records in 1998, and performed at that year's Reading Festival.[1][2] In 1999 Branko and Patsy left the group forming then The Branko Band and now MODERN MOTHERS (www.modern-mothers.com). Herschel continued the group and in 2000 performed at the 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia, despite claiming not to be Republicans. [3] This move was criticized and made fun of by Jello Biafra on his album Become the Media.[4]
