i guess i never answered this question...

i first heard the distillers six years ago. i was riding in a friend's car and we were listening to a mix tape that someone made her. "gypsy rose lee" was on it. it's still my favorite song.

One of my friends liked them and I was a big Rancid fan so she loaned me Sing Sing and it's all a listened to for like, 6 months FTW

in 2002 or 2003 my friend told me about them but at that time i was broke and had a dialup internet connection so i couldnt get their music. not to long afterwards, i went to see the band Leftover Crack, who just happened to be opening for the one and only Distillers. well not one and only, since they changed members a ton of times haha.

after that i was obsessedddddd, finding out brodys real name and then i started listening to the bands Andy used to drum for, and it was just history from there.

i was in a record shop, and on the stereo their self-titled album was playing.

the songs were blackheart, gypsy rose lee and the blackest years i believe.

i was a really big rancid fan.....!!!!!
and i saw somewhere at my friends house a poster with them!!!!!!!

Acerbic_Heart · **Posted:** Wed Feb 27, 2008 5:41 pm

tony hawks underground 2...lol, i find it funny for some reason.

none of my friends have ever heard of them--my friends don't like cool stuff, so i had to find the distillers through a video game! before that there wasn't any female leads/groups i liked. from there--i expanded my musical horizons.

I saw their drain the blood video on tv, back when they played good videos hah and i was like "dude they rule" so then i got all their albums and really liked em, i was a rancid fan before i was a distillers fan but didnt know that they were a couple or anything.

Dirty Frank · **Posted:** Thu Feb 28, 2008 10:29 am

One of my friends played Drain The Blood on her cellphone.That night i downloaded 5-6 songs and really liked 'em.

My friend nick wanted our grunge band to do a cover of "Coral Fang" and made us listen to the album, this was right after it came out, love at first sound... And we also did "Go with the Flow" by Queens... A lot of simularities in both songs... I wonder... No not possible...

Uhm, Punk-O-Rama 8? I Am A Revenant's on that.

LoverTits · **Posted:** Thu Mar 27, 2008 9:19 am

hmm i was either 13 or 14 and i think i saw their drain the blood video on much music and i was sucked right in.
i bought ssdh, and coral fang..and my best friends daddy order me the self titled because i couldnt find it anywhere.

KaylaMae · **Posted:** Sat Mar 29, 2008 1:42 pm

Before I met my husband, he went to the Rancid/AFI/Distillers show at Clutch Cargo. They were introduced as "Tim's wife's band. I forget their name." He thought Casper was hot, but that's irrelevant. Anyway, I met him not too long afterward and he gave me a t-shirt from the show. I think wearing a band t-shirt of a band you've never heard is lame, so he let me borrow the cd. I was hooked from then on.

flonightheart · **Posted:** Sun Mar 30, 2008 3:27 pm

Caught Drain the Blood video in 2004 on Subterranean one night and was blown away. Next day I go to the record store looking for Coral Fang but they only had the one with the animals on the cover so I bought SSDH and special ordered Coral Fang with the explicit cover. I listened to SSDH everyday untill Coral arrived. Afterward I went back and bought the first record. Now I check wikipedia and this site almost everyday for new info on Spinerette.

Black_Flag · **Posted:** Sun Mar 30, 2008 3:31 pm

wikipedia is not a reliable source, mate.

flonightheart · **Posted:** Sun Mar 30, 2008 4:08 pm

yeah but they seem to know when new albums are coming out way before anyone else.

Deep Throat · **Posted:** Mon Mar 31, 2008 1:09 am

I remember sitting down a few years back with some friends talking about female vocalists...Wendy O came up in our discussion and someone mentioned that she didn't have shit on Brody. I had never heard of her before and so I refused to believe that there was really hope of another amazing front-woman in punk/alternative (whatever the fuck you wanna call it) music. I made him put on The Distillers' first album and to my shocking disbelief...he was right. I was instantly hooked, intrigued by her voice and the entire bands' sound. Been a fan ever since..

Mohikan · **Posted:** Mon Mar 31, 2008 1:13 am

I got tipped by a friend... fucking love this shit!!!

That is the same way I found out about The Distillers!
Then I bought Sing, Sing Death House and Coral Fang.
I instantly loved the raw vocals of Brody and awesome lyrics.

Jesus sent their cd in my sleep.

That has to be the best answer I've heard. I think it means you're the chosen one, or something...?

Well Jesus hates everyone but me; he sends me treats from above.

m921 · **Posted:** Tue Apr 29, 2008 10:30 pm

Well, one morning, I looked out a window in my house and there was a headless squirrel on the roof. I bet it was Jesus too... or a raccoon.

Well no one can get out there so I've seen the process of decomposition. Still a few bones left out there after a year or two.

The moral of the story is Jesus does like you better than me. :/

They were at Warped Tour 2003 and I walked by this small stage and see these tough ass girls playing instruments, swearing, and spitting. I loved it. Then I got their self-titled and fell in love.

I was watching "Mono" by Courtney Love on Youtube, and a couple other of her videos. Every time it ended, the first-up suggestion was The Young Crazed Peeling and I was like...FUCK OFF SUGGESTION. Finally, I decided t o give it a try and instantly fell in love. Been the craziest fan ever since
