Everywhere That I'm Not...
On its release in 1980, "Everywhere That I'm Not" seemed to capture the zeitgeist of its era.
Balancing wistfulness and passion with a sharp hook and memorable refrain, the debut single from San Francisco-based quartet Translator signaled the beginning of something special. Over the course of that decade, Translator would release four acclaimed albums and an EP. Those who saw them onstage -- at the Mabuhay Gardens in their adopted SF hometown, on tour
opening for the Kinks or anywhere else -- witnessed the crackling energy, sharp musical interplay and undeniable power of Translator in the live setting. As superb as their studio output would always be, live onstage was where the group was truly in its element.

And subsequent releases collect rare demos and archival tracks that help tell the rest of the story.
Break Down Barriers...
Translator was always at its best live onstage.
And while their studio albums captured that energy, there has never been a live Translator album. Stay tuned...
