The Distants
The Distants were an American indie rock band, based out of Los Angeles, California.
Members
[edit]- Guinevere King: Vocals
- David Kelly: Guitar
- Jamie Douglass: Drums
- Steve Alderfer: Bass (2004-2007)
- Ben Jindra: Bass (2007–present)
By the beginning of 2008, undisclosed but implicitly tragic personal reasons had seen King suddenly depart from the band, leading the remaining three members to form a side project named Echo Hawk. Kelly's death shortly afterwards on March 30, 2008,[1] effectively signalled the end of both bands.
