Transvaal Diamond Syndicate (TDS) are the manufacturers of some of Australia's finest foot-stompin' swamp and dirty Blues Rock.

It has been a busy and wild journey for Transvaal Diamond Syndicate from their inception back in late 2009, almost immediately garnering attention for their raw, energetic, exciting and often primeval live shows.  Since then, the TDS have only gone from strength to strength, gathering fans nationally from constant touring, performing and strong social engagement with their Youtube channel hitting over 15million plays.

On the back of 8 years of solid national touring (around 100-150 gigs per year) and over 1000 live shows played, TDS took a much needed hiatus and lineup change during the 2 year Covid period and is back on the road where they belong with upcoming dates:
