Desire formed in Montreal & currently based in Palm Springs. They make synth pop where film, fashion, & fantasy collide on the dancefloor. On stage, vocalist Megan Louise theatrically pivots between French & English while draped in latex from head to toe. From vixen to villain, she turns to predator with blood pumping thrill. Carrying the campy torch of Vaudeville into this century she is joined by composer Johnny Jewel (Chromatics, Glass Candy, Twin Peaks) on piano & drum machine.

 

Desire gained worldwide exposure with their hit song “Under Your Spell” which was featured prominently in 2011’s neon-noir film, Drive. In 2019, Desire co-headlined the Double Exposure world tour with label mates Chromatics. The performances are complete sonic & visual emersion for the audience. Their brand of 1980’s infused synthwave is accompanied by ultra-vivid surrealist films projected throughout their set.
