Biography

There is more than one artist with this name.

1) The Transistors was a British punk band from Croydon, formed in 1979 who released two singles on their own “Open Circuit” record label. Their first 7” was the classic 3 track “Riot Squad” ep released in 1981, really great early 80’s UK Punk. Their second single was called “Mothers Pride” which came out in 1985, by the time this one came out the line up of the band had changed.

2) The Transistors is an artistic project formed in 1996, based in Rome, Italy. Prime-movers and pioneers of the cocktail / lounge international scene since the ’90s. ErMan, Luke and Miss Ari are eclectic artists, experimenters, or simply “sons of the new electric age”. The Transistors are music and technology applied to the Art world.

Their music is synonym of cinematic attitude and research. The Transistors sound draw oneiric and suggestive music artwork taking inspiration from the huge pile of the 20th century ideological and imaginary debris, moulded through a process of dissolution, decomposition and finally mutation.

A Transistors principle is that it’s always necessary to play “inside a movement” against “stereotypes”. Their album Atelier was defined as the unique and acclaimed manifesto of lounge music with future and past moulded for the today imaginary: suggestions, melodies and rhythm towards the real space age pop.

The new album “Modern Landscape” is the up-to-date experiment, searching an original charming sound, re-drawing the roots of space age pop.
