PUNK ROCK. THE POPULAR RETURN OF THIS FORCE IN MUSIC CANNOT COME AT A BETTER TIME. EMO FASHION SENSE AND CRY-BABY POP ROCK OF THE NEW MILLENIUM MAY HAVE SUCKERED THE YOUTH INTO TIGHT FIT PANTS AND BEEHIVE HAIRDO’S BUT THERE IS NO FUTURE LIKE A NEW ONE. IT IS NOTHING LESS THAN RAW POWER GUITAR RIFFS, THUMPING BLACK BASS LINES AND A CRACKING SNARE AND RABBITFOOT BASS DRUM TO BOOT BLENDED WITH A LYRICAL AND VOCAL ATTACK THAT HAS BEEN TO THE RING OF FIRE AND BACK. PRESLEY TOOK OFF FROM B.B. KING AND ZEPPELIN’S DIVERSE FOLK AND BLUES ROOTS FOLLOWED, SEX PISTOLS AND THE CLASH THUMPED ALL OVER THE WORLD AND BLACK FLAG CATALYSED THE YOUTH FOR NIRVANA AND FAITH NO MORE- THE TUMULT IS LONG OVERDUE… BORN OF A SETTLER COUNTRY AND RELOCATED TO SUCKLE ON THE OLD TEAT IN LONDON, ENTER TRANSKEI, PRONOUNCED SKY. ENERGETIC LIVE PERFORMANCES HAVE BEEN RECORDED BY EARS AND EYES FROM CAMDEN’S DINGWALLS TO PUTNEY’S HALFMOON IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF AND A DEBUT ALBUM IS ON THE WAY - INTEREST IN RECENT DEMOS AND LIVE RECORDINGS CONTINUE TO SWELL. TRANSKEI’S LATEST APPEARANCES AT THE EMERGENZA BATTLE OF THE BANDS UK LEG HAS SEEN THE GROUP SOAR NEW HEIGHTS TO THE FINALS. PRESTIGIOUS VENUES LIKE ULU, CLAPHAM GRAND AND ZEE WILL PLAY HOST IN THE COMING WEEKS. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO BE?
