Where do I start when describing Des Peres from Melbourne? That’s a tough one, there is no distinctive genre they can easily slot into, it’s a mix of hip-hop, electro, funk, soul, techno and blues… That has probably just confused the issue, but they really do pull influences from just about everywhere, into one big melting pot, creating a buzz on the live scene with their fun, energetic shows. Inthemix described them as “a cross between Johnny Rotten and Princess Di, she spits out rhymes while tearing the stage apart’, their live performance of mish-mashed electronics delighting audiences all around the country.
Including some of Melbourne’ most respect musicians such as Kynan Robinson from CW Stoneking and Adam Simmons Toy Band, Luva DJ, Kelsey James, Mr Ection, Tom Bass, J Walker from Machine Translation and Ned Collette, this really is a fast paced ride of theatrical heights.
If you like your music with a strong sense of fun, get yourself along to one of their shows, buy their CD, and it’ll put a smile on your face. www.desperes.net
