"The Trans invite themselves to your home" are based on sessions filmed under live conditions, without an audience, at Trabendo, a Parisian venue, and at Ubu, in Rennes, broadcast live or slightly delayed, on France.tv / Culturebox, Fip, Youtube and Tvr.

Thomas Bangalter (the one of the members of the duo) had just obtained his license, he had taken his car with their entire studio inside (laughs), to go to the airport, we had + booked + a plane and they were arrived on Saturday, the very day of the concert, "Trans boss Jean-Louis Brossard told AFP.
