death from the side

About Me

Due to circumstances beyond the control of this finite world the summer of 2007 left the three piece rythm section of local L.A. rock band The Distants without a singer. With The Distants being on a temporary hiatus David Arthur Kelly (guitar) returned to L.A. after having spent a month at Wauzhushk Onigum (Rat Portage) First Nation Indian Reservation at Lake of the Woods, Ontario. He brought with him a host of unfinished songs and ideas. Thankfully drummer Jamie Douglass and bassist Ben Jindra were eager to collaborate and help David finish the tunes adding their own unique signatures to the skeletal ideas. Things came together rather absurdly fast and in three, three hour jams the five songs that would make the EP were arranged and demoed (Opposites Attack in under seventeen minutes). All bed tracks on the EP were recorded at Ben’s house on a Yamaha 4 track, the guitars and vox being completed at David’s on a computer.The artistic intent of Echo Hawk is FUN FUN FUN.
