Indie 102.3 presents Transviolet with ANNABEL LEE and MIXIE on
Wednesday, March 26th. After a successful catfishing on a musician
networking website, Sarah McTaggart began to collaborate with producer
and bassist Mike Panek across the world, and over the internet writing
the beginnings of what would eventually become Transviolet. She made
the move from the Cayman Islands, to Toronto, landing eventually in
San Diego where they met for the first time and sparks flew, or at the
very least no one was serial killed. Jon Garcia was brought in on
drums, and later Judah McCarthy on guitar and keys after moving to LA
and signing their first publishing deal. For two years the band locked
themselves in studios across the purgatory that is the San Fernando
Valley (which would later be the title of their 2018 release), writing
song after song, until piquing the interest of LA Reid and their first
major label partner EPIC records. From the very beginning, Transviolet
has made a point to approach music differently. Like when they
released their first single Girls Your Age, the band sent out 2,000
plain manilla envelopes to kids across the country containing a
cassette tape that only said “play me”, not realizing that was
pretty near to the exact plot of the horror movie SAW. Blogs and press
outlets took notice, but no one cared nearly as much as the mothers
across the country when they took to facebook to demand answers, and
threaten the band with legal action. It was hilarious. 24 hours later
and Katy Perry Tweeted out the song, a week later Harry
Styles. A flood of attention came to the band and they were thrown
into the deep end that is the music industry. Writing with
collaborators DreamLab (Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus,
Nicki Minaj…) Sam Hollander ( Panic At the disco,
Fitz and the tantrums) Andrew Dawson (Kanye West,
Tyler the Creator) and Nate Motte of 3OH!3, among many others,
Transviolet put out two more EPs, seeing critical acclaim from
countless press outlets. Now in 2019 with multiple support (Twenty one
pilots, LANY, Dua Lipa, Joywave) and headling tours (US,
UK) under their collective belt, and tens of millions of streams -
Transviolet is gearing up to release their first Independent full
album. Feeling as they’re writing the best material of their career
thus far, the band couldn’t be more ready to show the world, just
who it is, they are. Self written, self mixed, self released, the band
is taking the reins and show no signs of slowing down. - All ages,
