Transviolet

Transviolet is an alternative pop-rock band formed in the United States in 2015, consisting of lead vocalist Sarah McTaggart, with Judah McCarthy, Michael Panek, and Jon Garcia as musicians and writers.

Transviolet gained initial recognition after a local publicity stunt, celebrity endorsements, and after being selected for a Google Play commercial.

[1] The group, originally named Noise Floor, collaborated at a distance at first before establishing itself in San Diego.

After relocating to Los Angeles, McCarthy, another Churchville-Chili alumnus and friend of Panek's and Garcia's, joined the line-up and the name was changed to Transviolet.

[6] The band caused some controversy early in its career by sending out anonymous packages containing a cassette tape with "just press play" handwritten on each one.

Later in November, in advance of a date at the legendary Troubadour (West Hollywood, California), the band guested on Aliens by The Griswolds.
