Transducer

Definition 1: A device which transforms one form of energy into another, i.e. acoustic energy into electrical energy.

Definition 2: A diverse group of rock musicians from several different generations of rock dedicated to crafting inspired and unique hard rock stylings. The group known as âTransducerâ evolved from a bay area based group, âRoom 3â. Originally an 80's -90's hard rock cover band. The group took on a new drummer, Jadon Figuerido, and shortly after a second guitarist, Nathan Becker. Moving away from covers, they began crafting original songs which drew equally on the diverse influences of all of it's members. To put in a nutshell TRANSDUCER's debut album "Finding Home" consists of soulful rythm guitars and hooks, screaming yet well crafted guitar leads, funky/progressive drum chops with a John Bonham style kick, a jazzy inspired bass guitar and well crafted vocals with a reminicense of Geoff Tate from Queensryche.

TRANSDUCER is:

Vic Urbina Vocals: A veteran of the road who's toured the country as the front man for a number of bands through the years. His professionally honed vocals cuts a swath through the din of the 5 piece rock outfit.

Gary Pedro- Lead Guitar: A technically proficient axe man influenced by the incendiary work of Edward Van Halen.

Nathan Becker - Guitar: A soulful guitarist influenced equally by the grunge of Alice in Chains to the classic sounds of Hendrix and Zepplin.

Steve Owen - Bass: A versatile bottom end man who holds down everything below 150 Hz.

Jadon Figuerido - Drums: The backbone and the beat. Jadon has played with various Bay Area groups and draws on influences from Chad Smith to Dennis Chambers
