"Unjustifiably excluded from a slot at 2007’s SXSW, they none-the-less produced a heart-stopping set at a free showcase organized by their label, the 8088 Records Collective. Being involved in a larger cooperative enterprise has helped Transmography make connections to bands in other cities, but it’s also given them the expansive vision that’s necessary in order to weather the often divided reaction that they get from out-of-town audiences. “[Audiences react in] one of two ways,†Jimmy acknowledges. “One, people either walk out of the venue or, Two, people are just mesmerized and completely awed by it, and a lot of people say that… they see that we’re doing something different.â€" -Noah Mass, austinsound.net
’transmography’ (1784) -- "to describe artistic processes of continual innovation and cumulative transformation." -william blake
James Evans and Michael Frazier met in Austin, TX, September 2002. Transmography came into being in February 2003. They have toured the US from LA to NYC and plan to continue the journey as long as it engages them. They are not easily compared to other musical groups.
The new record " Polydactyly" was released in March 2007 by Brooklyn, NY and Austin, TX based 8088 records.
Come see a show and find out what these two are all about.
