The Distractions The gig was awesome. As 1/2 of the band, we opened up for a percussion / 8-string guitar quartet headed by percussionist Brian Fazio. They jammed on jazz and were great. Keep in contact! peace

The Distractions Hey Peoples, We're getting very close to unveiling the new CD. What do you think? Should we only offer it on-line, only on CD, or both? Any suggestions?
The Distractions Kai is tuning up the old bass. I actually think he was looking to see where the 11 was on the volume dial....
The Distractions Whoops! Mike broke his cymbal practicing to impress you guys! He never was known for his soft touch...
