I am a performance Entertainer. I like to put on a show and keep up the Rock -N- Roll. My songs have catchy choruses that you can hear one time and start singing along by the end of the song. I use multiple different props and outfits (all designed by me). I try to engage the audience and bring them up over the top with me. We work on producing a finely crafted show from first note to last, and I couldn’t do it out without my two great musicians and partners; Mike Crabb on guitar who stayed with me for years through other bands, and the newest member James Ferraro who crushes the drums into Oblivion. We are a Powerhouse Trio that puts on a show that can’t be reproduced.

“It’s like if Yazoo kidnapped Bjork and forced her to listen to ‘Kid A’ era Radiohead in a dark room while Moloko kept switching the light on and off for added fear/effect.” Mitchell Tennant, Head Noise. Episode 8 are Maddie Southorn and Ian Grehan.

Ian Grehan is the creator of ambient electronica; beats and loops with a retro flavour. He is a founding member of ‘tongue-in-cheek industrial rap outfit’ Quake Tourists and has shared the stage with the mighty PWEI, amongst others. It was clear from the start that this musical partnership would produce something special. The combination of Ian’s electronic beats and lush soundscapes and Maddie’s spooky lyrics and layered ethereal vocals comprise, according to Gareth Dyton / DJ Chunky, one of “…the most beautiful sounding electronic albums I have heard for a while, I would also add that the combination between the multi-layered electronic beats and rhythm combined with a beautiful, haunting ethereal voice is a match made in Heaven. “From the almost shuffle beatesque vibes of ‘Breathe’ to the closing bars of the excellently covered ‘Wicked Game’ this album delivers on all fronts. The beats, music and voice and combine to create their own soundscape across the 9 tracks of this great debut offering. “There is a great deal of skill and musical ability displayed throughout the album and Maddie and Ian certainly play to each other’s strengths, Track 4 Ghosts is a classic example of this, it starts slowly with Maddie’s vocal talents taking the spotlight slowly progressing and getting beatier and more involved as the track goes on and it works, that’s not to say that every track does that because it doesn’t, there is no formula here. “Every track on this album has the strength to be a single, there is not a single track that doesn’t shine. The combination of electronic beats and this beautiful voice give Episode 8 something unique to bring to the mix, others will promise but few will deliver as much as this record. ”Watch this space…this is the start of something big…

Their music is being compared with Roxy Music, The Talking Heads, Puddle of Mudd, The Strokes, and 70’s Psychedelia but played in a power trio format giving off Trailblazers vibes such as Cream and The Police. We are passionate and dedicated to our music, connecting with our fans, and being easier to work with than any band you know. We all played in as many bands as we could from an early age. Some bands were better than others, and over time we got to be better players. We constantly wanted to play with even better players, and to start playing our own compositions. Eventually we all did that, and set our sights on writing in collaboration with others. We are convinced that this search for a collaborative music making experience is why we came together. Dan (guitar) is from Chicago, IL and was influenced by The Beatles, Eric Clapton, John Mayer, and Dave Matthews. Chas (drums) is from San Diego, CA and was influenced by The Beatles, The Dave Brubeck Quartet, The Who, and The Kinks.
