Biography
The story of Distractress started in November of 2005 in Tammela when two long-time guitar player friends,
Aatu and Miika, had an idea of forming a band. First thing to do was to find a drummer. That turned out to be
easy job as Aatu knew Lasse who was studying in same Upper Comprehensive School with us.
In those days we were 14-15 year-old-studs.
First gigs were played without a bass player. Later on we found Jape from the very same
school. At first Aatu was afraid of asking him to play with us since he wasn’t that much into heavy
metal as we were. After one played gig he had to quit due to his another hobbies. Fortunately that turned
out to be very good thing – now we had to ask Aatu’s brother Elias to fill up the band. We felt
immediately that Elias was the right guy for the job. Since Elias’s joining we know what Distractress
really is.
After two years of rehearsing and ten played gigs we went to record our very first demo.
We spent two days of quality time at Masan Studio – and had a real blast.
Now we are writing new kick-ass songs and looking forward to play live as much as possible.
