Beyond Today: Live At The Farm San Francisco 1986 on CD

Translator - Beyond Today: Live At The Farm San Francisco 1986 / Translator got their start in Los Angeles as in 1979 but there wasn't a convenient label for the music they made. Quickly finding themselves disillusioned with the L.A. music scene, the foursome moved to San Francisco. There, Translator built a fan base, made lots of friends, and landed a record deal with local indie label 415 Records. Within weeks of signing, Translator found themselves part of the big-time music business: 415 had inked a distribution deal with Columbia. 1982's Heartbeats and Triggers benefited (at least a little) from the promotional muscle of the major label. But the album and it's emotionally-charged single, "Everywhere That I'm Not" had the goods to succeed with or without Columbia's help. The song became popular on the burgeoning college radio circuit. Each successive Translator album built upon and expanded their sound. The band toured widely, landing an opening spot on a Kinks tour, but sales figures didn't follow the same trajectory. And there wasn't much in terms of industry support for the band. Near the end of the tour in support of their 4th album, the four band members came to the collective realization that Translator had reached the end of the road. They had decided that this would be the end and decided to go out with a bang, scheduling a hometown show to reward their ardent fan base with a show at The Farm in San Francisco on July 12, 1986. The band reunited in the 2000s and have recorded 2 new songs that are available as bonus tracks on the CD and digital albums. They are actively promoting this release through interviews and live dates.
