"The songs somehow remind me of living down in Hollywood, navigating those horrible streets on foot east of Mann's Chinese and dreaming of Silverhead, Sparks and the very idea of the Hollywood Stars. And, later, the old porners like Gina Lynn and Kelli Richards. All these people collected from different lands that defined a few bizarre moments in time resigned to sweet nostalgia. And the Tranzistors are bubblegum nihilists from Detroit! Now, that's fuckin' power." -Brian Smith, Detroit Metro Times
"Cosmic mission fulfilled! "
-- Michelle Mae , Weird War
"As mystical as the unicorn, and hotter than a Warhol superstar.
If Virginia Plain had a love child with the Electric Warrior, and gave the baby to the Stardust family to raise, It would maybe have as much to offer as Tranzistors."
-- Steve Mcdonald , Redd Kross
"The Tranzistors have a complete 'thing' going on that is an intangible that I look for in all of the artists I've worked with, be it a Loverboy, a White Stripes, or a Kajagoogoo...it's a package that's wrapped up in the winning sounds of today...and even beyond today. Tomorrow even, perhaps."
--Arthur P. Dottweiler , famous entrepeneur"
The best thing I've heard in ages.....Your ticket to freedom! Run with this mother."
--Stepehen Nawara , Detroit Cobras , Electric Six , etc.
"Reincarnated pop songs like you might find if you went back in time to a
non-existent mid-1970s' Summer of Dysfunctional Love, dropped some Motor
City battery acid with the Hollies and looked through any window only to
discover all the naughty bits wrapped up in velvet and honey."
-- Ryan Mathews, author, The Myth of Excellence and The Deviants Advantage
"When I say I'm from Space! Know this you are from Space Too! TRANZISTORS Rock in Motown."
---Your ally Ygarr Ygarrist "The Plutonian Elf"
"If he were alive, Kandinsky wouldn't have been arty enough to paint this music.Tranzistors recorded it instead."
-- The Wolf , Radio Fever , live 97.1 FM
" Too hot for the HOT JAM ZONE !"
-- Sassy , Radio Fever , live 97.1 FM
..."TRANZISTORS sure have the right record collection.......take a look at Oasis,they have a small record collection."
--Danny Benair, The Quick , The Three O'Clock
Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.
--Wassily Kandinsky , real famous artist
" A gas man! A stone cold gas."
--Bill Edwards , Astro Boy
TRANZISTORS's new recordings breathe shaggy + pertinent life into the
two-room apartment second-floor, which drops us quivering - like a cat delivering
a dead mouse - at the doorstep of Andy Warhol's factory stoop.
Take Andy Warhol, please. Please? Take Andy + his whatevertheyare to the
Land of Nothing. To drawings of shoes, cos we want More + TRANZISTORS deliver, with style.
--Ivan Suvanjieff, PEACJAM/2008 Nobel Peace Prize nominee
"It's nice i like it.....you decided to go commercial, huh ? It's like the Beatles."
-- Allen Bryant, founder Music Eletronnica Viva
"Spiraling, midway, unseen, between equivocal hedonism and maniacal beauty-rock surrealism TRANZISTORS are steady on a shimmering translation of Rock & Roll through its resurgence and fruition. Spontaneously emerging from the well knowledge of teen-age glamour, avant-bubblegum, and layered electronic landscapes TRANZISTORS music swells with seductive pulse and oscillates the living symbiotic textures. Dion Tranzistor (the Go,Godzuki) finds that his lazer beam style, straight outta the Id, vocal command is at its most effective when it hits unconventional melodies with a center eye on the classics. Mr. Tranzistor also flavors electronic instruments with bizarre acoustic patterns that wind up bursting through the songs like massive solar flash in the limitless heart. Crispy's (Detroit Cobras,Dirtbombs) guitar is terse, rhythmic and unpredictable and electronic pianos strangle Rock & Roll cliches by obsessively honking with atonal flourish. What else? The Miss Lenaya and the ladies provide Shirelles style vox that would make Kim Fowley blush. The 70s style production reveals a close consideration of such classic gems of glitter rock history including The Quick, Nick Gilder, and For Your Pleasure era Roxy Music. Be you a fan of post modern, modern, be it classic Rock & Roll youll find TRANZISTORS at the breaking heights of a New Age dawning. Yet another band from Detroit that should prove to be one of the most important musical groups in the world today."
--Rick Somers , Metal Guru
Thank you for adding it as a friend on the net. Keep sending good music to a lot of people as it is possible to come. The activity in the future is expected. Best.
Hi Tranzistors! Now was I amazed at finding "You don..t owe me" on your playlist! So that old classic has survived all these years and now performed in this new exciting way by you! Well to me that is one of the very best songs of the entire sixties and can still send shivers down my spine. Thanks for finding me and my Labyrinth
Hi Tranzistors! Thanks very much for the add. I really like your tunes. If I were a boss of a record company,I'd give you a good deal! A big kiss from Rome XO Ari
