Houses can be haunted and the Chicago Cubs are doomed to be World Series-less for the rest of the team’s days, but can a band be cursed? If that band is Interpol, then the answer is yes. According to NME, for the second time in less than a year, the NYC outfit has lost its bassist. In a statement on the band’s official site, bassist Dave Pajo said he has left the band to spend more time with his family. The remaining members replied with their support, writing “We’re all friends. 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.” Pajo will be replaced on the road by bassist Brad Truax, who previously played with Jah Division and Home. The band is at home now, with the tour picking up again on March 3rd in Hamburg, German.
