Growing up together and a shared enthusiasm for music may have been exactly what San Francisco Bay Area Natives Noel “Deeskee” DeMello and Stacey Dee needed in order to make the most Honest, Heartfelt and Hopeful songs that two people could ever make together. Throughout their lives, they have always been huge fans of both Hip Hop and Punk Rock music. When time finally drove them apart, Noel began taking his career as a Hip Hop Producer/Engineer seriously and moved to LA and gained worldwide notoriety for his work with dozens of iconic artists such as 2mex, Xololanxinxo, The Shapeshifters, The Visionaries and even members of Freestyle Fellowship. Stacey made her mark with several touring punk rock bands that she fronted, such as The Angry Amputees (who were featured on Tony Hawk’s Underground), Compton SF and The CITY. She inevitably ended up in LA and in 2009 Noel and Stacey released their first collaborative project with fellow artists 2mex and Die Del Amor forming the short-lived hip hop quartet The Returners who released their album “Break Up Your Make-up” digitally on Strange Famous Records. The album continues to be well received and has quickly become a cult favorite. They collaborated with 2mex once again on “My Fanbase Will Destroy you” producing “Fun In Funeral” and “I Just Didn’t Know”.



The culmination of their life long friendship and having come from the same background, with the same stories and experiences to reflect upon, is the one of the most important reasons why their music comes off so genuine, and true. Of Course, the added bonus of coming from two completely different musical backgrounds didn’t hurt either. It really only adds to their adaptability when writing, what they call, “The Best Music They’ve Ever Made”, which is why they formed their new group, Knives and Gasoline.

Their combined love for so many genres of music, their lifetime of friendship, and the trust that Noel and Stacey have for each are truly the influences for their debut release, “Love Songs for Crime Scenes”. There is nothing contrived or trite about Knives and Gasoline…. THEY ARE PURE ART! They have never tried to sound like anyone else… and in doing so may have stumbled onto a completely new genre of music…. The essential mixed tape of every song you’ve ever loved to and wanted to kill to!
