Interpol Bassist Announces Departure
Now a former member of Interpol, Dave Pajo told fans that he has quit playing with the band to spend more time with his family.
This is the second time Interpol has announced the departure of a bassist in under a year, with long-time member Carlos Dengler’s exit in May 2010. Pajo had been a touring member of the band since Dengler left, but didn’t play on any of their records.
Pajo will be replaced with immediate effect with Brad Truax, who has previously played with Home and Jah Division.
Interpol members Paul Banks, Dan Kessler and Sam Fogarino paid tribute to him, and denied there was a rift between either party. “We’re all friends,” they said. “It’s just an out-of-the-hotel, into-the-home sorta thing. He’s going to be missed to be sure. Aside from being an exceptional musician, Pajo is a wonderful person to be around.”
