The Distrakted

About Me

In 2006, after the demise of 'Jim's Gayness from Gayland', Jim Manneh became depressed in not being able to the play in a band anymore. Before taking his own life, with a discarded Conch shell, he found a drummer by the name of Phil. Phil too shared the dream of performing once again after his Punk band 'Overbored' came to an untimely end. They shared some common tastes in music.

After discussing which musical direction they would head in, over a few pints and bottles in Grand Central, they headed home in a drunken state. Whilst on the way home they accidentally bottled a hobo begging for Pizza scraps, when he screamed in agony, they had found the voice they were after. After this encounter it was discovered that this Hobo was the secret offspring of one Jonny Rotten and Billy Talent, doomed to walk the Earth shamed of his past. There was still something missing to this line up. After months of searching the Himalyan mountains for a Buddhist Bassist, no hope seem to be in sight. Then one day, llike a ray of hope John arrived with his bass skills and completed the line up.

After a shave and some haircuts, they were ready to make music. The rest remains to be seen

At least a year had passed when 'The Distrakted' had completed their line up and had gigged here and there, recorded tracks and made new friends along the way, but something was still missing. The band had always discussed incorporating a rhythm guitarist but had never found the right candidate for the job, and so continued regardless. After months of advertising and hoping to no aveil they came to realise that the answer had been staring them in the face, Rowan. Having known the band since their start, Rowan had agreed with them for a tryout. After a few succesful practices Rowan was offered the position, which he accepted.

Ready for war once again 'The Distrakted' have upgraded their arsenal and are ready to engage in an Onslaught of Hardcore Punk mayhem!!!
