Steven Van Havere, drummer of the Belgian rock band Arid, was quickly impressed by the Transcoder sound and invited the band as support for an Arid concert that took place on February 19, 2011 at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels.
Shortly afterwards Transcoder got invited by singer and TV-star Jasper Steverlinck (Arid) to be his “Poulains". “De Poulains” ids a radio & TV-show for national station Studio Brussels, in which four settled musicians present their favourite upcoming band. For this occasion they returned to the Ancienne Belgique to perform live on February 6 of 2011.
In March 2012 Transcoder released a video clip for their first single, Fading Flame, starring singer and radio/TV presenter Roos Van Acker. The band ‘s first EP “For My Blood”, produced by Luc Van Acker, will be released in February 2013.
