Transistor Sound & Lighting Co. was an indie rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The band existed from 1996 to 2000. The band created a noteworthy buzz with sonically challenging shows and distributing cassette tapes of early song demos. They were signed to the Canadian arm of Sony Records, ViK. Recordings, releasing an ep of early mixes from, and an eponymous album in 1998. The band toured that August with By Divine Right throughout Ontario culminating with an opening slot for Cracker at Lee's Palace. They were hired by Emm Gryner as a backing band to rework her minor hit Summerlong, as well as Phonecall 45 from her major label debut Public, for a special 12" release. In the course of record label reorganization, their contract was not renewed and the band members moved on to other projects.
