  • Less than a year on the job, Interpol bassist David Pajo is leaving the group to focus on his family, the band announced in a statement on their site. “We’re all friends,” Interpol wrote. “It’s just an out-of-the-hotel, into-the-home sorta thing. He’s going to be missed to be sure.” Pajo, a founding member of Slint, was brought on to replace founding member Carlos D and will now be replaced by Soldier of Fortune member Brad Truax.
