Roger Houdaille – bass, vocals
Roger Houdaille is the youngest member of the band. The bassist is not known for his outspokenness. “It would be best to ask people who know Roger about Roger because he doesn’t like to talk much,” says the cute quiet bass player. The heart of the eclectic nature of the Transcendence sound and tendencies, Roger is the one who consistently encourages the group to go as far out as possible musically.
Not unlike the rest of the members of the Transcendence, Roger is known for an eccentric nature that belies his extensive talents. Although he is 23 years old, the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist doesn’t drive, or even have a license. Although it is true he collects stamps from every country in the world, he also collects bootleg audio and video recordings of every band he likes, primarily obscure sixties and seventies groups, and keeps them all in piles with complete printed covers with set list and venue info “all done with attention to detail.” Roger responds to all his fan mail personally which makes him a very popular member indeed. He is an extreme talent all on his own, and released an album under the moniker Father Bloopy in September 2007 Father Bloopy titled “Ginger, Baby” which got rave reviews. (Transcendence singer Ed Hale often cover’s Father Bloopy songs on Transcendence releases, sometimes re-writing some lyrics to make them his own. The Nothing is Cohesive track, Cleopatra ecstasy is a good example of this). On the business end, Houdaille is also independent label Dippy Records CEO, and spends his time writing, directing, editing and starring in the reality sitcom All My BJ. Most recently, Roger formed a band from the Father Bloopy touring group called Ex Norwegian. He recently moved up to NYC to work on the Dying Van Gogh label with Ed.
