The TRANSGUNNER left their inhibitions backstage!
Makes you wonder if they measure the extent of their songs ...
The young trio from Lyon is like the offspring of the Clash / Gang Of Four / The Jam (Franz Ferdinand / Blur) with a rebellious rock which propels them between Two Door Cinema Club and Dead 60's.
TRANSGUNNER collect the waters of the River Thames to irrigate Rock with their hot seed during a pagan ceremony under the mirror balls.
We give in shamelessly to the hit "Cocksucker Disco" (a disco-rock poke at the Rolling Stones) that brutally whips New- York no-wave with an oh-so British style, a profession of faith that borders on the art of living.
Blasphemy you say?
Just transgenre!
Cheeky and respectful TRANSGUNNER alternate slap and caress in a consummate art of nuance and immoderation. Between vice and virtue, the choice is quickly made! We’ll have all eternity to serve our sentence; take advantage of it here and now! TRANSGUNNER opens the throttle like a Japanese nuclear plant shaken by a parkinsonian Nature
The new sensation abusing of good things!
Give in now, because you’ll succumb sooner or later...
First release : « très classe » october 2011
