Thanks to everybody who came along to see the Situations show on Friday night at the Darkroom and the Shaft show on Saturday at the brewery! Both bands are a reminder of everything that I love about music, so thanks guys! Both have albums coming out soon, so go and buy them or at least steal them and listen to them….

Ahoy

It has been an exceedingly long time since I put anything on here, we are better found on twitter and facies but thought I might let you know how things are going in Transistor territory anyway. Me and Jim are up in AK right now, recording the last vocals for our new album which really shouldn’t be too far away. Keep an eye out! We haven’t been playing many shows because of the...

Auckland Party City

Hi there! Just hanging round very hungover after having a glorious time partying last night. Thanks to Peter and Billie for throwing one hell of a bash! We played three shows yesterday, one outside Peter’s shop on Ponsonby rd, one at the Rackets release party(thanks guys!), and then at the party where we had to rock a one mic system with Joe acting as a mobile mic stand to whoever was...

Let's talk sports!

Man did anyone watch Australia get slammed by Germany? Hilarious! Over here the papers seem to think that Australia can win the world cup, but not by playig like that! Colin is backing Germany so he was pretty pleased by the result. I’m backing Netherlands to win, but obviously we are all backing new Zealand also. Also Melbourne is going ok, played some sweet shows and having a nice time,...

Number 1 in a non-ranked list!!!!!!!

You read it right, we are officially number one on Vicki Anderson’s list of bands to see in christchurch. As already stated the list is not in any ranking order, however this fact does not stop us from being NUMBER ONE! Here is the URL- http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/entertainment/christchurch-music/3641693/Sounds-like-us In non related news, just watching America’s Next Top Model...

Good weekend in ak. Music took a backseat to stupidity but that’s another story or perhaps not even a story at all. LMB! Thanks to nz music etc for being nice to us! I sleepwalked in our hotel and woke up in a stairwell in my boxers which was a real larf! Had to go to the lobby and get a new key in my boxers which was in a large part humiliating.

Keeping things up to date....

Well hahaha, just looking at the last time that I wrote anything on here, and it started with a promise to write more often, and that was about six months ago. Well done me. It is highly likely that I may be the only one reading this, so I am not too worried, not even sure if Jim and Col are aware that this site exists. Anyway, things have been going well in our world. I was in Europe for the...

Its been a huge couple of months, got our cd out, played some sweet shows, and generally been having a choice time. 2010 promises to be exciting, we might follow through on our promise to travel somewhere, and hopefully our second album will be...

Gisborne and Wellington

Hola mi Hermanos! Transistors are alive and well after a very eventful 2 shows up north! Started out on Friday morning with us nervous nerds leaving waay too early for Picton and arrving with plenty time to spare, then nearly missing the ferry cos we got too engrossed in minigolf. Good minigolf course though! Got to the ferry anyway, and then fulfilled our contractual obligations for a gratis...
