The Transmissionary Six
The Transmissionary Six is actually the songwriting team of Terri Moeller Pearson and Paul Austin, the former a longtime drummer of The Walkabouts, the latter a founding member of the Willard Grant Conspiracy and later a guitarist for The Walkabouts. Between 2002 and 2013 the band - lead vocalist Moeller Pearson and guitarist Austin, augmented by a rotating cast of supporting musicians - released six albums, appeared on numerous compilations, and toured worldwide several times. The group's output over this period is neatly summed up in a best-of release, "Songs 2002-2012". The band continued to play locally on occasion in their hometown of Seattle, for the most part on an impromptu and low-key basis. In April 2023, they released their first album in over ten years, “Often Sometimes Rarely Never”, on the Drums & Wires Recordings label.
