Rapid Tranq Five piece fully live rock covers band. From Bowie to Muse and back again.

Rapid Tranq were formed by 5 members of NHS staff in October 2007 to perform free gigs to patients held in regional secure units along the South Coast. Their first performance was at Ravenswood House in December 2007 as part of a Christmas show put on for, and including some of the patients.

Following the success of this show, the band were asked to perform at various medium and low security units around the Portsmouth and Southampton area, going back as requested for repeat performances over the following 18 months, playing Christmas, Easter and Summer shows. In June 2009 rapid tranq were asked by 2 nurses from Ravenswood House to do a charity fundraising gig at The Curlew Pub in Havant. They agreed and on 26th june they performed 2 high energy 45 minute sets made up of rock covers including classics such as Queen's 'i want to break free' and covers of some of the biggest selling artists, such as Oasis and The Kings of Leon. The gig at The Curlew went so well that the nurses raised hundreds of pounds for their Charity and the pub immediately re-booked the band.
