This Punk-Rock act was formed in late 1997 in Los Angeles, California
USA, by Aussie-native, Brody Dalle, with Rose Casper on guitar, Kim Chi
on bass and Matt Young on drums.
The quartet, helped by Rancid's Tim
Armstrong who later married Dalle, recorded in L.A. their self-titled
debut album which was issued in April of 2000 on Epitaph Records .
The band released the second album, "Sing Sing Death House",
in mid-2002 breaking the top 30 of the Billboard Magazine's Independent
chart, meanwhile Kim Chi left the group and Ryan Sinn replaced her on
bass; Casper and Young also quit the band with Andy Outbreak taking over
on percussion for a while.
Brody Dalle duetted with her husband on the track "Weigh On My Mind"
included on The Transplants' self-titled
album and subsequently managed to reassemble her band by recruiting guitarist
Tony Bradley and drummer Andy Granelli.
The following year Dalle ditched Tim
Armstrong in favour of Queens
Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme and in October The Distillers released
its third album, "Coral Fang", which broke the top 100 of The
Billboard 200 chart, highlighted by the Modern Rock top 30 hit single,
"Drain The Blood".
