The Distants

The Distants were an American indie rock band, based out of Los Angeles, California.

For the 1960s Detroit vocal group, see The Temptations.

Members
  • Guinevere King: Vocals
  • David Kelly: Guitar
  • Jamie Douglass: Drums
  • Steve Alderfer: Bass (2004-2007)
  • Ben Jindra: Bass (2007–present)

By the beginning of 2008, undisclosed but implicitly tragic personal reasons had seen King suddenly depart from the band, leading the remaining three members to form a side project named Echo Hawk. Kelly's death shortly afterwards on March 30, 2008,[1] effectively signalled the end of both bands.

In 2007, the band performed a cover version of the Echo and The Bunnymen song The Killing Moon, which was included on the Blood & Chocolate soundtrack.

The band's second album, an EP named Be Your Shadow, was almost completed at the time of Kelly's death. Containing the tracks "Highways", "Luminol", "Be Your Shadow", "Chemical Burn", and "Let's Catch Fire", it was never released.

Echo Hawk

gollark: Funlolz?
gollark: The new one is much better - it contains less code (if you ignore the giant cryptography libraries someone else wrote), can do partial updates, and can even cryptographically verify the updates to prevent tampering (probably).
gollark: The old updater thing actually used to just download files directly from pastebin every time it detected a change in one of them, but pastebin started being annoying and I decided I wanted stuff like version control.
gollark: Technically yes, but why?
gollark: Sadly, no, only OpenComputers can.
