TRANSPACIFIC is not a rock band. It performs on guitars, basses and drums. It does not write songs. It constructs events. It exploits volume. It panders to hush. It favors lilting melody. It exploits forceful harmony. It is the quiet gentle invitation. A passing thought. A memory. Tension. Release.

TRANSPACIFIC submits to you our mini-epics, noise sinfoniettas and moody-pearls. Remove the orator and let the story unfold itself.

transPacific recently made their indie label debut when Emperor Jones records released "Hall of Mirrors" a 2CD set featuring tracks by Kinski, Gravitar, DMBQ, SubArachnoid Space, Acid Mothers Temple, Abunai!, Bardo Pond, Primordial Undermind, Yeti, transPacific and others.

TRANSPACIFIC has a membership roster of Carl Farrow, Kevin Goldsmith, Robert Henson and Stuart McLeod, who collectively contribute backgrounds from punk/psychedelic, experimental, noise, symphonic and electronic through the distribution of Unit Circle Rekkids, KVRX Radio, P22 Records, Monotremata Records, Orac, Partial, MSBR, C/Z, Earthling/Caroline and Schizophonic.

TRANSPACIFIC has performed with Kinski, SubArachnoid Space, The Moggs, Wow and Flutter, Stanford Arms, SciFlyer, Nervewheel, Chris Cutler, SushiRobo, Black Nite Crash and other engaging and unusual projects. It has performed at the Crocodile Cafe, the Sunset Tavern, Consolidated Works, I-Spy, the Re-Bar, the Hideaway, Studio Seven, KEXP and the Tractor Tavern in Seattle, along with destinations regionally.

TRANSPACIFIC recorded twelve compositions at Avast in Seattle with Mel Detmer in April of 2003. These are unreleased. In May of 2002, prior to the addition of Carl Farrow, a seven-song demo was recorded at Jackpot! in Portland by Larry Crane. Larry's work with Quasi, Pavement and Sleater-Kinney showcases a more garage savoir-faire.
