The Argus: Download of the Week
The Argus: Transformer

Transformer


From: Brighton


Influences: Talking Heads, James Chance, Funkadelic, and A Certain Ratio.

Profile: Formed in 2005 by Jonny Giles (vocals, trumpet, keyboards) and Craig Mack (bass guitar), the current line-up was formed when the pair moved to Brighton, adding Ben Adamo (guitar, keys) and Stephane Hourdille (drums).

Transformer’s sound has pricked up the ears of Channel 4 producers on the show The In-Betweeners, where the band played live in one of the first season’s episodes.

They surpassed thousands of bands to make it to the final four in the Vodafone Live Music Awards Live and Unsigned competition, and were at Brixton's Carling Academy last night to see if they had won.

Transformer plan to release their debut single Cinema Car very soon.
