DESPERATE ELECTRIC EPK
In a year where dance music continues its revival, "We Can Go All Night" stands out for its regional swagger—Montana's answer to the global party pulse. It's the kind of song that turns a Thursday night into a weekend, perfect for road-trip playlists, pre-show hype, or those 3 a.m. moments when you're still going strong. If you're into Dua Lipa’s disco revival era, Jessie Ware's dance cuts, or anything that bridges '70s glitter with '00s indie-dance, Desperate Electric's latest will light you up. This isn't just a single; it's the anthem for their current run, and hearing it live (with the duo's infectious energy) is bound to be explosive. --Our Sound Music, 2026
"Desperate Electric is a band that is constantly evolving. They’re not content to rest on their laurels. They’re always pushing themselves to explore new sounds and new ideas. And that’s what makes them so exciting. They’re a band that’s not afraid to take risks. And with “Wildfire,” they’ve taken their biggest risk yet. And it’s paid off. This is a band that is on the verge of something big. And I, for one, can’t wait to see what they do next."

"If you ever wondered what it might sound like to party under the northern lights while wrestling with existential desire, “Don’t Fall in Love” by Desperate Electric is probably close. Dangerously close. The album is a shimmering rollercoaster of want and woes—like sipping neon cocktails that buzz under your skin, knowing the hangover might hit harder than expected, but loving it anyway."

BIO
Emerging from the mountains of Montana, Desperate Electric invites you to a universe where Marvin Gaye meets Daft Punk for cocktails. Seamlessly fusing the worlds of organic and electronic, their music is an unbridled expression of desire. Dubbed “Montana’s Hottest Power Disco Duo”, Desperate Electric brings the baby makers and the booty shakers to the party. Their supercharged sensuality invites the audience to join them in releasing all inhibition, surrendering to the music, and letting the seduction of dance take the reins.
Kayti Korte and Ben Morris met as music majors at Montana State University. An unlikely pairing of a classically trained vocalist and a collegiate rugby player with rock-star instincts. What began as an unexpected connection quickly became a creative partnership and after graduation, Kayti joined Ben’s then-current band. Once the two began writing together, it became clear something bigger was taking shape.
In February 2018, they launched their first project, DASH, a four-piece band rooted in rock, soul, and funk. The group recorded an album and hit the road within months of forming. During a notoriously difficult 2019 tour, Ben programmed electronic drums on the fly after losing their drummer with little notice. As lineup instability began to challenge the traditional band format, Kayti and Ben pivoted, leaning into electronic production in a move that would ultimately redefine their sound. What began as a necessity became a creative breakthrough, fusing live instrumentation with electronic drums and synth-driven textures.
Out of that transformation, Desperate Electric was born, named after an EP that captured their evolving identity. The rebrand marked a clean break from the rock band model and the start of a bold new chapter as a pop-forward, power disco duo.
Since then, Desperate Electric has built a reputation as a high-energy live act. From their Montana roots, the duo has expanded nationwide, performing hundreds of shows in more than 35 states since 2019. Their touring schedule included over 100 dates in 2025, alongside sold-out headline shows, and festival appearances across the country.
Known for effortless vocal harmonies, dynamic stage presence, and a seamless blend of electronic and live elements, Desperate Electric delivers performances that are as polished as they are, well, electric.
