Distortion Biography
Started off with Lead Guitarist Colin and Bassist Joey looking for a band.Months passing by finding no members.October 2005 came and we had to play 2 gigs (in 1 day) in balla on december 7th 2005 to a sold out show of 500 people over the 2 shows.Arena was packed so we needed members fast and thats were we found Drummer Maarten. Another day was opened up for December 8th selling out to a stunning 250 people.December 9th was then opened up once again selling out to a 250 spectacular audience.Drummer Maarten found Guitarist Thomas and Colin found Peter for Singing.We called ourselves Distortion.
Distortion began practising for the 3 shows playing over to 1,000 people overall.After 1 month of practising the set-list was completed and were ready for the gigs.Problem was we couldnt play anything to heavy,so that knocked Metallica,Trivium,Dragonforce and Children of Bodom of the list.So we played entering up with Queen-We Will Rock You,Guns N'Roses-Sweet Child O'Mine,1 insane minute of a Drum solo featuring lots of Double Bass Drumming, which made its way to My Sharona,Smoke on the Water into the main riff of eye of the Tiger and finished up with or own song called "The Last Song".Also on the 8th of December show we played a few Pantera songs for our soundcheck backstage in memory of legend guitarist Dimebag Darrell who was killed on that day in 2004.
Gigs were finally over,we took a break.Guitarist Thomas left the band,because he couldnt fit in the time.(He started up his band Loudnoises with his brother on guitars iswell).Also Singer Peter had to leave iswell.The Band now features:
