Transcendental Desecration

about

Transcendental Desecration was originally founded by Lord Gwydyon (aka: Gideon Trillian, GroundZero, Gridlok) and Kevin Neher (aka: KevCo) in 1991 in Santa Cruz, CA. In the beginning the band was an experimental, improv-performance project that tended toward the extremely psychedelic in concept and flavor. It often had an open door line-up policy with regards to jam and recording sessions (similar to bands such as Pigface). Between 1991 and 1996, TD recorded 212 full albums/jam sessions and independently hand-published and released at least 50 of those to local and San Francisco Bay Area fans and friends. Around 1996, KevCo quit the band which then went on a hiatus due to the usual suspects of stereotypical "rock-n-roll" dramas. In 1998, Gridlok met Maggy Mjolnir at a The Legendary Pink Dots show who essentially demanded to join the band to play bass, synths or whatever after having acquired a Transcendental Desecration bootleg cassette from a friend of a friend of a friend. She was enthusiastically inducted into the band, but the band did not officially resume music production until about 2000. Transcendental Desecration, now relocated in San Diego, CA, eventually picked up where it left off with an all new studio and all new equipment and tools. This new incarnation of TD also had a new approach and greater level of sophistication than before. By 2004, TD was officially a duo consisting only of Gridlok and Mjolnir and no longer included other guest musicians or performers
