Austinist Show Preview: Trans Am at Emo's and Waterloo Records

Originally intended as a side project for members of Bomblast, experimental trio Trans Am have long since produced innovative, electronic post-rock. The band has floated between instrumental noise sessions and vocoder furnished electro-synth over the course of their decade long career. Their eleventh full length, Sex Change (out now on Thrill Jockey) is a result of time spent in opposite corners of the world (Auckland and New York) with the final product created at Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco.

Trans Am plays Austin twice today-- for free at 5pm at Waterloo Records with a full set at Emo’s Inside later at night. Zombi and Pyschic Paramount support, while Blood Brothers deliver their own noise on the outside stage.

If you can't catch the free show at Waterloo, fill out our form for a chance to see them at Emo's this evening on us!

Congratulations, Elizabeth!
