Transport was formed in 2001 when all three members were studying at the
Queensland Conservatorium of Music. In 2003 they won Australia's
National Campus Band Competition. Transport also tours and records as the band of Brisbane singer and
Sony-BMG artist
Kate Miller-Heidke, joined by singer and violinist Sallie Campbell. Transport's material is written and developed co-operatively by the band, and
Keir Nuttall has also contributed songs to
Kate Miller-Heidke's repertoire, notably her turntable hit
Space They Cannot Touch from 2004's
Telegram, and her 2007 single
Words. Transport's first two EPs and other songs including the single
Sunday Driver were recorded by producer Guy Cooper (Serotonin Productions) on the
Gold Coast. The band has continued to record and perform independently of
Kate Miller-Heidke, mainly at Brisbane venues but also on international and interstate tours, and live radio broadcasts. The band's song
Sunday Driver was downloaded a record 24,000 times from the website of youth radio network
Triple J, and in Britain
Stone Hearted has been aired on
BBC Radio 1 and on
Kerrang! Radio. In April 2007 Transport appeared at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles as part of the
Musexpo music and media conference. In May–June 2007 the band toured independent venues in the UK as part of the CMEAS Spring Tour. In November 2007 Transport's first full-length album
Inner Chimp was pre-released for download. ==Discography==
