Heavy electro rock pioneers Trans Am have been bringing the heat since the early 90s. Music fans and critics alike hail the group as the originators of "post-rock." Their sound lies comfortably between the synth driven sonics of Kraftwerk and the robotic vocal production of Daft Punk. With 9 studio albums to date, Trans Am has enjoyed a lengthy career with all their albums being released by Thrill Jockey Records.
Trans Am continue to push the envelope both live and in the studio. Their live show consists of all three members taking on double duty alternating between synth, bass, guitar, vocals and drums. The group does a great job at replicating their electronic tsunami of sound on stage. Be sure and catch them live if you get the chance!
Trans Am came by Amoeba Hollywood to do a little digging. From the iconic hip hop record illmatic by Nas, to Wooden Shjips' psychedelic offshoot Moon Duo, Trans Am dig up some great pieces.
