TransfRictioN

Emerging with a bloody howl from “The Fighting City” of Albuquerque’s ruptured asphalt womb comes an act with a sound and look and attitude unlike anything else in the rock n’ roll world today!All over the Great State of New Mexico, music fans and industry insiders alike are pushing the fader knobs on their voices miles past the clip point in a killer-bee clamor demanding the immediate and international coronation of these mad, ravenous heirs to their rightful place upon the stained, porcelain throne of pop!And who exactly is this group responsible for invoking such feral hysteria and devotion across the American Southwest? …WE DON’T KNOW EITHER!!! But until you manage to find that band's myspace page; here’s ours!Hi, we’re TransfRictioN! =DFormed in early 2008 by guitarist Jeff Commissaris (24), singer Marq Blackbird (27), bassist Derek Garcia (28) and drummer Lonnie McKnight (27); TransfRictioN has spent the last year-and-a-half taking the local Albuquerque rock scene by bike, bus and bummed rides!Released in the summer of 2009, the band’s debut EP “TransfRictioN Was Here” has been met with Dave’s Reviews (see below) and has already been certified Double Bronze in the U.S! (Jeff’s mom had casts made of two copies. They’re hanging on her living room wall next to his baby shoes and first doodie.)Capitalizing on the momentum from this CD, TransfRictioN recently kicked off a major, full-scale, no-bars barred tour spanning the entire city! In just under a month, the band has played nearly all 5 of Albuquerque’s rock venues, gaining (and receiving citations for) exposure everywhere they’ve gone and in the process performing their singular ‘Gangsta Clown Punk’ – style of rock before an audience of literally dozens!Not content to be just another rock group, TransfRictioN is also a registered non-profit organization within the State of New Mexico; dedicated to charitable contributions of money and manpower to important causes like: -Pizzaholics Anonymous. -Veterans of World of Warcraft. -Adopt-a-Cheerleader.So, what’s next for TransfRictioN? The answer is simple and inevitable: shameless product endorsement! That’s right; whether its ladies undergarments, political candidates, or energy drinks named after controlled substances, this band knows that in showbiz (as in life); you’re only as loved as the crap you’re selling!But TransfRictioN also knows that for a band to get famous enough to have their faces on lunch boxes and their own action figure line requires more than just four guys going out every night drinking and brawling and getting arrested; it requires a whole team of people going out every night drinking and brawling and getting arrested on behalf of that band! And where in the world is TransfRictioN to find such a team?…That’s where you come in!Peace, Love and Rocket Launchers! *Jeff 'Dr. G-Strings' Commissaris * Marq 'Marqraphone' Blackbird * Derek 'D-Rex.' Garcia * Lonnie 'Prof. Drumgazm' McKnight* -TransfRictioN
