Desi Coltrane & the Surreal

About Me

DESI COLTRANE, the sultry Platinum Blonde Bombshell, who has been the Leader of the band 'Surrealistic Pillow', has formed a new band, with members and collaborators that have worked with MEGA Men, such as John Lennon, Rush, and have been major contributors to several movie soundtracks, and like Desi, even appearing in some.Desiree "Desi" Coltrane - herself is exactly what ACE FREHLEY (formerly of 'KISS'), describes her to be - and look - in the Tribute Song to her, 'HOT BOMBSHELL', which ACE also Produced & Engineered. A sexy blonde with an inexhaustible talent, her vocals can be soft, Angelic, to full-bodied packed with raw energy keeping up with the guys then, can reduce all - even herself to tears - with the EMOTION she fills each set of lyrics, building into a crescendo of intensity. An intelligent Lady, Desi was U.S. born, her Vocalist & Percussionist father brought his family out to England for family, cultural and educational purposes. This gave Desi an education partially in the U.K., but primarily in the U.S., and a chance to make friends from an early age in England, France and the United States.Desi Coltrane's solo album has so far been an onstage success. Audiences have rushed the stage at every single performance, which has included her being asked to perform at many a Grand Opening for Restaurants and Clubs primarily in the New York tri-state area. Her captivating stage presence and her fresh, unique dynamic vocal quality wows people everytime causing major excitement - including patrons seen dancing on tables and bars with her contagious enthusiasm and fun she has with her work - especially when belting out high energy tunes. She can grab an audience and ROCK IT!!!New York Radio Disc Jockey, Jimmy Fink, stated on a birthday of Desi's, "IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, YOU'D SWEAR YOU WERE HEARING STEVIE NICKS, OR GRACE SLICK. IN FACT, IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO OUR BELOVED STEVIE OR GRACE, DESI WOULD GO ON IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS AS THEY WOULD LOOK DOWN AND SMILE WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE FOR KEEPING NOT JUST THEIR VOICES ALIVE, BUT FILLING IN HER HEART AND SOUL. ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE'S PERFORMING STEVIE NICKS. SHE JUST BECOMES STEVIE AND THEY LOOK AMAZINGLY ALIKE. AND WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR EYES, EVEN BY APPEARANCE, SHE IS THE SPITTING IMAGE OF STEVIE." For her Love of the iinfluence that Stevie Nicks has given her, Desi still performs with Fleetwood/Nicks Tribute Band, ROOMS ON FIRE, to this day, and performs at least 3 times a week. It is locally for the most part, but Desi hopes to take that branched out further as well. With either show, Desi shines like a gem, and sparkles like a diamond, and is fragrant as a resin.THERE IS MUCH MORE EXCITING NEWS COMING UP, SO BE PREPARED FOR THE GREATEST EXPLOSION ON THE ROCK SCENE WITH SOME OF ROCK'S FINEST ARTISTS TO CELEBRATE THE ART OF ROCK MUSIC THAT WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD. STOP BY OFTEN, STAY TUNED IN, LISTEN AND LOVE!KEEP THE FAITH, PEACE AND ROCK ON!Craig Fenton, celebrated author of 'Take Me To A Circus Tent', which chronicles the lives of the members of the infamous Jefferson Airplane, and is also embarking on a project about their lives after the Airplane, is Desi Coltrane & the Surreal's biggest inspirational guide. Describing their unique style of Rock, Psychedelic, and Electroaccoustic based sounding music. He describes Desi's compositions as "a rare box of magical gems". "The music has the feel of the '60's clearly in each song", and has taken a sincere, and very supportive interest in the band. "I'm so excited to hear when they've got another tune done", says Craig, and beautifully analyzes each song, right down to every chord, every note of every instrument, right down to Desi's voice.Desi's band, the Surreal, has been intertwined with many of Rock's best Artists, hence the name. She loves working with other Artists, sharing each other's best, yet still has it in mind to get just the right blend of musicians together that she can call her own. An ecclectic Songwriter, Desi doesn't limit herself to just one sound. Electronica efforts have proved to be very driven on stage; with Desi at the keys, one tune can keep an audience going for a good 60 minutes, and go on to the next tune. She yearns for this project to be a success, and in particular, showing the ecclectic and prolific styles of music blended together. Yet, she remains a Rocker at heart. And still remains loyal to Stevie Nicks fans - and her own - by still performing with ROOMS ON FIRE, HER TRIBUTE BAND TO STEVIE NICKS. WITH DESI'S VOICE, A STRONG ROCK {HARD, METAL, GOTHIC} SOUND FOR THE MOST PART, IS VERY MUCH ANOTHER GOAL FOR THIS PROJECT AS WELL. Then add a couple or so of a good combination of Rock/Blues and Soul is another cool idea. Most of all: Convey messages and evoke emotions that can be so strong, filled with such bolic, THAT ONLY THE LADY WITH THE PLATINUM BLONDE HAIR SEEN ABOUT EVERY 1 MILLION YEARS WITH HER HORSE, WHITE BIRDS, AQUATIC & MANY OTHER PETS, WITH THE CHAMELEON SINGING - WITH JUST THE RIGHT PEOPLE INVOLVED, INCLUDING THE MOST ENTHUSIASTIC - WILL HAVE THE POWER TOGETHER SO STRONG, THAT WHEN OUR ROCKET BLASTS OFF, WE'LL BE BLOWIN' UP MARS!!!"COME WITH US...INTO THAT PLACE ROCKETSHIP...BOARDING SMILING FACES, KEEP SAME FACE AND THE FAITH...ONLY THEN YOU WILL FIND YOU'RE UPON THE JOURNEY...TO THE CENTER OF HER MIND" - dc, td & pf"AND TO THOSE WHO GAVE ME THE INSPIRATION TO ROCK I HAVE MY THANK YOU TO ALL IN VIDEOS AS A TRIBUTE TO EACH ONE AND I DO TRIBUTE PERFORMANCES IN THEIR HONOUR AS THEY STILL CONTINUE TO INSPIRE ME AND FEEL THEM DEEP IN MY SOUL." - dc
