Deadly Desire - Maine's Hottest 80's Rock Band

---

Lorelei is the lead singer of Deadly Desire. She began singing and performing at the age of 3 with her Dad, Ken, in churches, festivals, weddings, fairs and other community venues in Maine, throughout New England and New York. While in high school and college, she took private voice lessons and continued to perform as a duo with her Dad while also being part of an 80’s pop rock cover band. She did studio recording during this time, writing songs and producing demos of her original music. In the mid-90’s she was approached by a major record label in California to record. However, she chose to continue pursuing her education and went to college in Oxford, England where she also took classical voice lessons. Upon her return, she performed with her Dad until his passing in 2021. She was approached by Gonzo to form a band, and Deadly Desire was born. She is excited to rock out with audiences for years to come!

Gonzo got his first electric guitar at 11, but prior to that he had already devised a plan to become a rockstar by studying the major acts at the time, Kiss, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Fought, Ted Nugent and Blue Oyster. He started playing drums in original and cover bands at age 14, and started building his own drum sets and playing unconventional and found sounds. He played in cover bands in the 80's & 90's, and wrote and recorded originals on the side. He played throughout the State of Maine and opened for national acts. He ran Dungeon Wax studios in South Portland and Westbrook, recording demos and cds for original and up and coming acts, and was a beta tester for Traction software during that time. He ran sound for several festivals, venues and clubs throughout Maine. Moved to the midcoast area and started playing in cover bands again doing 80's & 90's covers. He was co-founder of Deadly Desire with Lorelei in 2023. The sky is the limit!

Mikey McFly is the bass guitarist of Deadly Desire. He started playing guitar at the age of 14. When he was 21, he started playing bass and he never looked back. His first real gigging band started in 1986 and was a "Top 40" cover band. He has played in numerous rock bands performing many genres of rock including 60’s rock, alternative music, and performed Country and Bluegrass playing a stand up bass in several successful acts when he wasn't playing rock. He now finds himself back full circle to playing 80s Rock from which he started in his first band Top 40, 80’s band. What a ride it's been and what a ride Deadly Desire will be.

Steve Austin, aka the Bionic Man, is the lead guitarist for Deadly Desire. Raised on rhythm and built for speed, Steve started out behind the drum kit, gigging with his Dad's bands before transitioning to the lead guitar at the age of 16. He moved to Portland and played in various bands throughout Maine. Armed with his beloved Carvin and Kiesel guitars and inspired by players like Paul Gilbert, Richie Kotzen and Andy Timmons, Steve brings the perfect mix of precision, power and pure 80's attitude.  Deadly Desire is thrilled to have him setting the stage on fire.
