Bio of the Artist
...from the core of England's bustling musical metropolis, West London’s t r a n s k e i (pronounced trance sky), have emerged with their dynamic, hard-hitting, against-the-grain style of punk rock while captivating audiences with deeply melodic lyrical splashings and energetic live performances.

In a world riddled with social disorder and political trivia, t r a n s k e i make it their business to send out a message in their music and to evoke emotion in the hearts and minds of listeners. In the words of frontman James Marshall ‘...a message is as important as a melody – put the two together and magical things happen.’

The birth of t r a n s k e i began with the arrival of McLaren from his native South Africa in August of 2006 – this reunion with Marshall and Austin meant that the ex-Vitamin X trio were back together and ready to solidify the bond that was forged over a decade. Through countless auditions, Trotman from Northolt, West London joined the fray and the final ingredient was added to the melting pot which now exists in Acton, London.

In a short space of just under a year, t r a n s k e i have managed to stamp their mark on London’s live music scene, knocking heads back with their gutsy and explosive mixture of punk-rock and metal-pop - a clearly adopted policy to keep audiences guessing at any given time.

Prestigious venues under the belt include Camden's array of live music venues like The Purple Turtle and The Bull and Gate, Putney’s Halfmoon, Fulham’s Zulus, Barracuda Bar in Newquay and Lark in the Park – and with the latest songs like 12hrCapsule and Society, it’s not hard to see why t r a n s k e i have fast catapulted themselves up the ladder towards musical success.
