====Distantsun====

Distantsun are a rock/metal band that are based in Beverley, near Hull in England.
The band formed in 2007, when Lead Guitarist TimmyD put an advert for a band in Beverley Guitar Shop, and within a week, bassist and singer Marcus Griffin, got in touch and joined. The songs combine mainly hard riffs with matching bass to the guitar. All the songs written so far have been written by Guitarist TimmyD, and have had praise from friends at his school.
When the advert was unsuccessful in finding a the rest of the band, TimmyD turned to his school friends. Asking 3 guitarists and 2 drummers, all turning down the offer. Eventually Eddie Thompson & Gavin Saul took up positions of vocals and drummer, but their stay in the band only lasted 3 weeks. Then in late April, a friend of TimmyD told him of a guitarist who was interested in joining a band. The two got in touch and Sam Wilson became the third surviving member of Distantsun.
The name was dicovered one morning when TimmyD was stuck in a queue on a road in Hull and looked up a train bridge and saw this graffitied on the bridge, quoting it was "like a sign that was looking down on me", the band agreed with the name.

Progress

Distantsun have not recorded an album yet, or played together, but a band practice is due anytime soon. Approximately 24 songs have been written by TimmyD, the first being the formidable, low D tuned and dearly loved Crazy Bitch. Other favourites are Rock & Roll and Take All The Love. Only one live perfromance has been performed under the name, Guitarist took his guitar into school and played a gig in the unbooked music room at the school. 1 hour before the performance, he was still considering which song to play first, consulting with Jack Farrow, the lead singer in the rival band of the same school, the Mds. He said to him that they may get kicked out of the room, so he should play their best hit, Crazy Bitch, he did and ended up playing that the riff of another.
