History
Rooted in the classic sounds and heavy riffage of 70s arena-rock and power pop, with the raw energy and intensity of first-wave punk rock, and occasionally dabbling in the feel-good boogie of 50s Americana, The Rogue Transmission catalogs and references the entire history of rock-n-roll three-and–a-half minutes at a time, creating a sound uniquely their own.
Formed in the winter of 2007, The Rogue Transmission has wasted no time spreading their catchy melodies, chorus after chorus, hook after hook. Having already performed alongside some of the top bands in Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing, the Rogues intend to continue broadcasting their infectious tunes and memorable live shows for eternity.
June 7th 2008, they performed at the Windows Underground in Shanghai during the Get in the van event (Bands: Joyside, The Rogue Transmission and Boys Climbing Ropes), featuring a three band bill then a free minibus over to another bar for dancing and DJs. This was the second van event, both organised by Dan Shapiro who fronts the band, Rogue Transmission. According to Andy Best This one was door at 9 then start at 10, but they waited until 10.45 presumably until it filled up more. [...] the sound was awful, I couldn't hear the lead vocals or the guitar, and Joyside were wasted and all over the place. Let down. Not to mention that half the people there were from the 'party crowd' who looked ready to hit the bund clubs after the show. Joyside are huge, like I said, and their real fans still loved every minute of the show.[1]
In October 2008, The Rogue Transmission released their debut EP Illicit Intercepts.
