The life long quest of any artist or band is most commonly to accurately represent
and replicate his
or
her surroundings. Like the great musical composers of the classical and renaissance
periods, the music was not only a medium of which to hear, but the very fiber
by which they lived. In the 1960's and 70's, Southern California became the home
of a new slick musical style, comprising of strong instrumental sketches sprinkled
with ethereal, political and heart-felt storytelling.
This blueprint became the standards by which all great groups were measured.
Starting with the Beach Boys, and The Byrds, Southern California's
own Eagles road this wave of melody, harmony and musicianship to the top
of the charts. Although the longest journey begins with the first step, the five
talented members of Desperado have set out to resurrect this once prominent
blueprint back into the fiber of today's Southern California music scene and to
musically demonstrate the fact that imitation is the highest form of flattery.
