Ready for your dose of Distilled Spirits?
Why this name?
When it comes to rehearsing people won't be let inside our studio without a twelver of beer for the band. Each person who shows up at the studio and wants to watch rehearsal always see's the sign on the door. Twelver of beer or no entry. The presence of alcohol quickly became a standard and the name Distilled Spirits was born.
Do you play live?
Yes we play live! There is nothing like preforming a live show in front of masses of people. Our promoter is based in Orange County so we do most of our shows there. We get a high from each and every opportunity we have to preform in front of a audience arena size or not.
Special moments would be gigs with Yngwie Malmsteen one hell of a guitar player and bands like The Off Spring, Pantera, Lynch Mob, Dark Angel, Slayer!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gets your music played all around the world which is one huge plus! It also gives you the opportunities to sell your own CDS & merchandise nation wide and that definitely helps out. The doors and opportunities are so much higher having your fans, friends and the industry people ECT: listening to your music with one click of a button : Now that’s way cool!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the right opportunity presents itself of course we would, we're not stupid. We've always loved touring and it would be awesome to have the chance to tour with some of the bands that have something similar to offer.
Band History:
Distilled Spirits were formed in 1984 in Whittier, Ca. When it comes to rehearsal, fans aren't allowed in without beer for the band. Each person who shows up at the studio and wants to watch rehearsal always see's the sign on the door. Alcohol or no entry. The presence of alcohol quickly became a standard and the name Distilled Spirits was born. The bands stage presence is one of intensity and fun. We are working on the new album and it will be recorded with our good friend Tom Parham very soon. Peace out and thanks for supporting Distilled Spirits.
