On Monday, September 30th at 1pm, ec0fr3ak speaks to singer/songwriter/guitarist Juliana Hatfield, ahead of her upcoming show at the Regency Ballroom in SF on October 10th.
Hatfield and her band, Juliana Hatfield Three, are currently on tour celebrating the 30th(ish) anniversary of their debut album Become What You Are. The trio will play the album in its entirety along with other songs from their catalog.
The Juliana Hatfield Three – singer/songwriter/guitarist Juliana Hatfield, drummer Todd Philips, and bassist Dean Fisher – released Become What You Are in August 1993 on Mammoth Records. Produced by Scott Litt (R.E.M.), the album found early success with the debut single “My Sister.” Despite the song’s title, Juliana did not have a sister, leading many to speculate about the inspiration for the song. “My Sister” reached #1 on the Billboard “Modern Rock” charts with an accompanying video, directed by Phil Morrison (Junebug), played on MTV.
Following a 20 year hiatus, the Juliana Hatfield Three reformed in 2014 and released their critically acclaimed sophomore album Whatever, My Love in 2015 on American Laundromat Records followed by a U.S. tour. Both Stereogum and Consequence named it “one of the most anticipated albums of 2015”.
