I personally have been a big fan of Threadless for quite some time now. The designs they offer are, generally speaking, more beautiful, funny, or insightful than your run of the mill t-shirt. However, this might just be about to change. You see, I’ve posted a design to Threadless, and if it does not get printed, I promise I will throw a hissy fit and never use Threadless again!

Well, maybe not for a week or so at least.

As you can see, I’ve used a ton of the our free vectors. So if you like the design and want to support the site, give us a quick vote. I’ll love you forever if you do.

This past summer my band, Universal Royalty, was on tour in the UK for about 6 weeks. While touring, VQ, my brothers and I have gotten to play along side some very cool groups. TRANSITION, who hail from Bristol, England are one of the coolest. Todays “quick-fire questionnaire” is with Niall, the bands bassist. Let’s get into it.

CPM: How long has Transition been a band?
11 years

CPM: Hometown?
Bristol, England

CPM: Years playing your instrument?
Good question! I started when I was 8, so around 16 years. Man that’s scary!

CPM: Where have you played?
All over the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong and we’re booked to play in Singapore and Japan this year too!

CPM: “Must have” item when traveling?
Usually a guitar for gigs. I bought an old apple ibook last year so that goes with me a lot.

CPM: Favorite place you’ve played?
The Wall, Taipei (Taiwan).

CPM: Do you have a “worst show ever”?
Yes, in Bristol at a venue called The Fleece. I broke three strings, and didn’t have a spare guitar! Oh, that was a bad night.

CPM: Favorite band?
U2

CPM: Favorite song?
U2 – Where the streets have no name

CPM: Favorite Genre?
I suppose ‘Rock’, but I like so much different stuff from gypsy jazz to folk to electronic dance music. Generally, if it has a good melody I tend to like it.

CPM: Where would someone be able to buy your music?
We’re on the itunes store (worldwide) or on www.transition.tk

CPM: Favorite Verse/Quote?
Psalm 40: “I will sing a new song!”

CPM: Favorite Food?
My Mam’s roast dinner (very British answer I know, but it is awesome!)

CPM: Favorite Music/Artist?
I think some of my favorite artists are people we’ve met on the road. There’s a brilliant band from the States called Universal Royalty, who are some of the best people we’ve ever met! (CPM: He’s just trying to get on our good side…) We’ve toured in the UK with a great band called Superhero as well. There are so many, and their music means more to us because we get to know the people behind it!

CPM: Favorite Book?
The Bible, The Keith Green Story, and Lucky Man (autobiography of Michael J. Fox – love the Back to the Future trilogy!)
Well, now that we’ve tapped into the mind of Niall, go check out their website www.Transition.tk or iTunes and search “Transition” or “Three Bridges” (their newest, just-released album).

Peace out, and God bless.
