Trans FX is an American rock band formed in 2011 by songwriters Chris McDonnell and Scott Young in Olympia, Washington.[2] As of 2024, they have released seven albums and continue to operate as a collaborative band based in Olympia.[3] Their sound has been compared to that of Lou Reed, Happy Mondays, Brian Eno, Primal Scream, and The Jesus and Mary Chain.[4][5][6]
History
[edit | edit source]Initially called Transfix, the band was formed in McDonnell's home studio. Initially described as a deathrock band,[7] its initial lineup included Scott Young (keyboards, vocals), Chris McDonnell (guitar, vocals), Nora McKinnon (drums), and Steve Sharrett (bass).[7] The band recorded a full-length album with Olympia-based Dutch Tilt Records, released December 16, 2013.[7] Their second studio album, Into The Blu, was released on K Records in fall 2015.[6] This album marked a shift towards electronic pop, and the band shortened their name to Trans FX.[6] Young left the band in 2015 to pursue art.[2] In 2017, the band collaborated with Olympia-based CC Dust on the CCFX EP, released on DFA Records.[8]
