Our story begins in New York in the 1970’s. Melody and Kerry Fenster would sit around, making music out of nonsense to their heart’s content. Cut to the mid 1990’s, where a teenage Kerry would meet and befriend Matthew Pensabene, who had been raising himself on a steady diet of Zappa and duck.
The 2 young men would play on the streets of Nyack, NY on a regular basis, much to the pleasure of the denizens and chagrin of the local poultry. Up walks young Melody and sees the minstrels minstrelling and joins right in. That’s when it really began. The birthings of what would become their beloved Otis Steakroll Music.
After a few months of playing in and around NYC music and comedy clubs, they started thinking of doing something drastic, just for kicks. This was just prior to September 11th, 2001. After that experience, they decided to get the hell out of New York. After a few months of begging, borrowing and stealing, they had enough stuff to kind of call it real, load up a truck and move out West. Los Angeles! Land of the Sun, Desert by the Ocean. Since then, they’ve played at venues all over the City of Angels including 14 Below (Santa Monica), The Derby (Loz Feliz), The Good Hurt (Mar Vista), The Joint (West LA), The Sagebrush Cantina (Culver City), The Masquer’s Cabaret Theater (West Hollywood) and The Cat Club (Hollywood) to name just a few.
nNeptep has also performed at the Comedy Central backstage at the Hudson Theater with famed comic actor Taylor Negron as part of a show pitch for Comedy Central. Also, the band/collective/family known as nNeptep was commissioned by Los Angeles public television station KCET to write a song (“Proposition 66”) and then shoot a video for the program, “California Connected”. After a brief hiatus in order to facilitate their ice fishing habit, nNeptep is looking quite forward to more recordings and tours with which to educate the populace. So far, it’s been a fun ride……..

I moved out of my old house (which was next to yours in CC).. I miss hearing you guys practicing! It always made me want to get my bass out and play along!
We're awesome, thanks! Who knew babies could be so much fun? I was always kind of freaked out by them. She makes awesome faces when she sneezes and looks stoned afterward. We bought a townhouse and it's like camping in a giant obstacle course because we haven't unpacked. It's snowing here! :) Goodness, I miss you guys so much! Tell me what you're up to!
