God-Des and She
An Interview with Lesbian Legends
Interview
by
Sam Casselman and Leah Kelley
From
February 2010 (Page 54) |
Remember that catchy song Lick it performed on the Season Three finale of The L-Word before Shane and Carmen’s wedding?
Let us introduce you to the musical duo responsible for its witty lyrics and funky beat; the talented God-Des and She. After ten years of performing together God-Des and She have recently debuted their third album- Three, the title inspired by the many three’s they encountered during the recording of the album, and in other aspects of their lives. Three is a mix of God-Des’s rhymes and She’s melodic voice in a genre labelled (by God-Des herself) as “UrbPop.” GayCalgary and Edmonton Magazine had an exclusive opportunity to speak with this down to earth and friendly duo, one at a time.
God-Des: I’m really ignorant about Canada. I’ve been to Toronto and Vancouver, so where is Calgary in terms of location of the country?
GayCalgary: We’re right above Montana.
God-Des: Aw, shit, god it’s gotta be so beautiful there, I definitely want to come.
GayCalgary: Yeah, it’s super nice. So are you guys still based out of New York?
God-Des: No, we actually live in Austin, Texas now. I actually moved to Austin from New York in May and She just moved down here about a month and a half ago. This is going to be our home base.

We wanted some sunshine, some more laid back environment and were also going to put together a live band here and start giggin, bi-weekly, or monthly around town, so that was another reason we kind of wanted to make the move.
GayCalgary: They say Alberta is like Texas. We’re supposedly very cowboy and “redneck” up here. What do you think?
God-Des: (Laughs) Austin is pretty cool ‘cause it’s extra liberal and progressive. The rest of Texas is pretty conservative, but it’s funny ‘cause Madison Wisconsin, where I went to college, is really like a hippy, super artistic liberal town in the mid-west, then there’s like a lot of farmers. Here it’s like a bunch of artists and hipsters and hippies and cowboys, it’s a real cool mix. I kind of say there’s a lot of alternative cowboys walking around Austin. They still rock the cowboy hats and Lee jeans, but they’re super progressive and artistic, it’s pretty cool.
GayCalgary: So when did you guys start making music?
God-Des: My entire family literally are professional classical musicians. My mom is a cellist and my dad is a trombonist. I started playing cello when I was three, I...
