   About The Distractions
Let me give you all the background.... We started out as a four piece with no direction, no money and no instruments. Our first band practice was in a barn in 2002. We had the keyboard, a target guitar and a small electronic drum toy. Then we called it a day for about a year until we decided to pick it up once more. This time we actually had songs (never to be heard again) and we had a new member. Our new singer Andria lasted in the band a few months but it never really worked out. We made our first demo in 2004 called "Dabble" and shortly after we created "Pass the Happiness" with the help of our new drummer Ian. Ever since we play Goldsoundz, the Top Floor, right-wing 4th of July parties and who can forget the infamous Louie, Louie jam with Steve Rouse. In more recent news we recorded "Jar Song" and "Range" at the Park school and just came out with "Road of Life" which is a real recording without the kinks. God knows whats next. Maybe our own Ipod.... I bastardized my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Hey guys,

Tix would be fantastic -- always good to see you guys rock in person. I'm going to talk to the rest of the band about seeing you in April...

Meantime, check out the new Sessions section of our website -- we'll be releasing snippets of actual rehearsals and impromptu jams every week, no charge. We'd love to hear your feedback!

Keep up the awesome music. Can't wait to hear more -- hopefully, we can share the stage again soon!
