<p><span class="font_large">Originally released in 2000, a little before the iTunes craze. The York, Pa. group "The Distractions" put out their one and only CD/EP. titled "DRY WATER"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The CD was an eclectic group of songs with various styles to show the versatility of the band. Track one<strong> <span style="color: rgb(211, 84, 0);">"The Jones in Me"</span></strong> was a modern rock tune which had a little edge to it, Track two<span style="color: rgb(211, 84, 0);"> <strong>"Solecells"</strong> </span>more of a Pop/Soul groove type thing, Track three <strong><span style="color: rgb(211, 84, 0);">"Dry Water"</span></strong> The title Track had a alterative feel with traces of Rock, Dance, and Country vibes, Track four <strong><span style="color: rgb(211, 84, 0);">"Guardrails in Heaven"</span> </strong>was a ballad, and Track five<span style="color: rgb(211, 84, 0);"> <strong>"Don't get behind"</strong> </span>was a cool Pop Crossover, very danceable. A mix of different feels from three different Soles. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The New Downloaded album will Feature a New Previously Unreleased Track called <span style="color: rgb(211, 84, 0);"><strong>"So True" </strong></span>Recorded in July 2, 2014 as sort of a reunion for the band. We recorded Chad and Beth's parts at in Harrisburg, Pa. at <strong><span style="color: rgb(39, 174, 96);">"The Green Room" </span></strong>on Front Street. Drums and Bass were recorded at <strong><span style="color: rgb(52, 152, 219);">A1A in Jax Beach</span></strong>. The tune is scheduled to be remixed later this month with Daryl Phenneger and will be released in September with the Dry Water Album Release on iTunes, 17 years from the original release in 2000.</span></p>

<p>(Joe Senger) - "I just thought is was time to get the songs on iTunes, its a diverse group of songs and every album tells a story of your journey in music. I really enjoyed working with Beth and Chad, and I hope they enjoy reminiscing the songs and being able to share the sounds" The Track we did in 2014 is cool as well, can't wait for you all to hear it.......

<p><span class="font_large">Well studios are important, and their are great ones all around Jacksonville. First CD "Never Too Late" was recorded all over Jacksonville in Garages, basements, and out houses but salvaged and Mixed by Stan Martell and he killed it, the next couple tracks (Leave Me Lonely and It's Alright) were recorded at A1A by Delaney Lewis, then later mixed by Daryl Phenneger. The "Up Yo Game" CD was recorded in several places including A1A, Danny's Home Studio in Tallahassee, Jesse's Dad's Studio in Palatka and Daryl Mixed this as well. The sound is smokin and Daryl is the Man as well. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I really dig working with all these guys, all of them are very good at what they do, and I see myself coming back to them again. But this time is different..... I want nostalgia, real tape, real flow..... </span><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/33807/53709ae9b44efca9b67a15266ad34f270ebda7cb/medium/tape.jpg?1498190375" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Where do you do it , where do you go.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Well to be honest, I wasn't sure until a few months back when I attended a benefit for Retrophonics Studio.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It was a great night to see the local music biz come together to help out a pioneer in the field, Jim DeVito.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I really thought about my plan to record in more of a live format this time, giving the rhythm section more feel and tightness. And to just jam with these guys, and do some Live Shows... it's been too long.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Thinking this over, I said to my self, let's do it at Jim's place. I have recorded there before with a Rock Band "747" , Brady has, Jesse has, Ninos has worked with Jimi as well, and almost everybody has been through the place I think, at least one time or another. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">By the way, Brady/Jesse/Ninos/and myself is going to be one tight ass rhythm section.... just sayin. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">There will be some cool guest spots as well, we'll see what happens musicians are fickle LOL.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Working on some preproduction now, hope to start rehearsals in Early August..... More to come!</span></p>

It's the Hip thing to do, but I am truly doing it for all of the supporters of the "Food Stamps" track that really took off after some of our old 45's from Leaf were selling on Ebay for $100 a copy.
