Distilled Spirits
Distilled Spirits from Whittier, Ca. formed in 1987
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Distilled Spirits were formed 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.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
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 ,The Off Spring, Pantera, Lynch Mob, Dark Angel, Slayer!
