To Boldly Go
Where No Man
Has Gone Before!

The TRANSVESTIMENTALS!

Gothic-tinged, campy glam complete with some cross-dressing members (and former members) of COAL, NO FUN, and CUB.

ROOTS Formed by mustache-adorned Bernie Morocco (aka Valeria Fellini, former drummer with CUB and BLACK MARKET BABIES [BLACK HALOS]). "We give at least half of all earnings to charities... I formed The TRANSVESTIMENTALS for that reason." PARTNERS in CRIME Other members are Darwin Bludgeon (bass), Miss Betta Behave (aka Nicole Steen of COAL on swamp guitar) and stun-guitarist Polly Dolly (aka NO FUN's Paul Leahy). PERSPECTIVE "We all cross-dress at random, a different sex each time we play", explains Morocco. "It's everything and anything goes, until it doesn't matter anymore." PERFORMANCE Amazing is Dolly's ability to perform rock-star kicks while wearing stove-pipe jeans and heels more suitable for the red-light district. Dolly's ace guitar riffs propel Morocco's minimalist-style drumming and Miss Behave's rockin' pipes. SAMPLE SONG TITLES "Drag City", "Cosmic Planet Rock", "Meat Boy", TROOPER's "3 Dressed Up as a 9", and "Season of the Witch" by Donovan. ROOTS (part II) "The first song we ever jammed on was "ROXY ROLLER" (Sweeney Todd), to set the tone," says Morocco, "but we haven't played it for ages." DISCOGRAPHY The TRANSVESTIMENTALS self-titled release features 14 songs, including their signature track... "The Incidental Transvestimental Song".

"So, that's it, my friends... the tale of the TRANSVESTIMENTALS, fiery and hot as the sausages of my country, and how we ripen over time like very much the cheeses of my homeland into the rich, pungent, glittering mannequins of glam-rock-and-roll-a-billy that you can see, as we explode onto the stage of the world and even Vancouver, Canada! We are at once invisible and famous! We wish to attract even more of the shy eye-liner boys and girls to leave the hiding in the bed-sitting rooms (also lighting the candles and crying sometimes), to come out dressed for excess and we will serenade you with our songs of gleeful sexuality, thwarted love, and glamourous confusion, if that you can believe! COME AND SEE!!! The audience is one half the show: without you we are nothingness!" Excerpt from "The Story of the TRANSVESTIMENTALS", a Scandalous Romance by Bernie Morocco.
