About Me

This Episode is an artistic vision, a coming together of 2 personalities sharing ideas and writing songs about life experiences...the struggles, the victories, and the daydreams. This Episode originated in New York City a few years ago, through a Village Voice ad "looking for guitar player into Suede & Morrissey." Kenward showed up among a crowd of lunatics. A collaboration was born, energy flowing, a bond shared. After a number of shows, recording tapes upon tapes sent out, people of all walks of life stating that the band was ahead of their time, This Episode decided to move their project abroad: to Paris...from Paris to London and from London to Las Vegas where we decided to change the town, until the town changed us. Our attentions shifted to other projects, working with different musicians. Desi would find herself in Chicago, Kenward back in the Big Apple but all the while sending songs to each other through the mail, and commuting to record. Having attracted the ears of producer Rick Parker (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Von Bondies, Tyler Hilton) with whom This Episode has completed recording their debut with. Desi & Kenward recruited Vegas alumni’s Trevor Mayfield on drums, and bassman Charles Henry to round out the line up of the band as This Episode continues to perform and raise their profile.
