Answer: The Distillers

Released in 2000 on the Hellcat/Epitaph label, operated by Tim Armstrong.

3. What band was Brody Dalle in before The Distillers?

Answer: Sourpuss

I made up all the other answers. Sourpuss was formed in Brody's mid-teens and perfromed at Australia's Sommersault Festival in 1995.

4. How old was Brody Dalle when she met her future husband, Tim Armstrong?

Answer: 16

They met at Australia's Sommersault Festival; initially, Brody lied about her age. I believe Tim was in his thirties at the time. They moved to LA to get married when Brody was of age.

Kim left after the first record to join the Original Sinners. Mat Young followed soon after.

6. What band did two members leave the Distillers for?

Answer: Original Sinners

Kim and Mat left to join the Original Sinners with Exene Cervenka, formerly of X.

7. Which Distillers music video did Brody Dalle direct herself?

Answer: The Young Crazed Peeling

Their very first music video. A simple but powerful video, off "Sing Sing Death House", their sophomore effort.

8. How was Tony Bradly aquired?

Answer: He was a roadie with them for years.

He was brought in to polish up the sound a little bit. They wanted a heavier guitar sound and that's exactly what they got from Tony for "Coral Fang".

9. Brody Dalle divorced Tim in 2003. After the divorce, she met a new guy, who also happened to be in a band, what was his name?

Answer: Josh Homme

Josh Homme is the main man of Queens of the Stone Age.

10. Name the Australian town Brody grew up in.

Answer: Fitzroy

This is mentioned in the song "The Young Crazed Peeling".
"My name is Brody I'm from Melbourne.
Fitzroy, Melbourne, Fitzroy, Melbourne.
I grew up on Bell St. then on Bennett St.
My mom kicked out my dad for battery."

11. Brody was kicked out of public school at age 14.

Answer: False

Actually, she was kicked out at age 15, did I get ya?

12. Which big show did Brody's old band play (the one where she met Tim)?

Answer: Australia's Sommersault Festival

Way back when Brody was 16. Brody was in Sourpuss with her chums and they got to play on the same stage as big bands like Sonic Youth, The Beastie Boys and, of course, Rancid.

13. Where did the Distillers pick up Ryan Sinn?

Answer: A record store.

Ryan was working in a record store, no band or anything. I don't know how they got him (I can't even imagine the conversation!), but they did, and he's a mighty fine addition, too! Listen to "Die On A Rope" from "Coral Fang" and you'll see what I mean.

14. The Distillers' third CD, "Coral Fang" has two covers. One has a naked woman bleeding on a cross, what does the other cover feature?

Answer: A field of animals.

I'm guessing the animal cover was chosen because the other cover was a bit too graphic, to say the least.

15. What is the name of the song by Blitz that The Distillers covered?

Answer: Warriors

Brody Dalle is often seen sporting the white, ripped tank top with Blitz written across the chest. This cover was recorded for the CD compilation "Old Skars and Upstarts, 2001".

16. Finish the lyric from the song "Sing Sing Death House": "I believe i will open up For all my _____ will surely come undone."

Answer: Rage

Don't you love that song? So short, but so full of RAGE. Obviously it's off the album "Sing Sing Death House", track number 5.

17. Finish the lyric from the song "City Of Angels": "They say this is the city, The city of angels. All I see is ________ _________."

Answer: dead wings

Great song, got me hooked on the Distillers the second I saw the video. This song off "Sing Sing Death House".

18. Finish the lyric from "Dismantle Me": "I fancy you but I've been destitute and all I know dissolved. I could never _______________."

Answer: reundo you

Pretty cool lyric from the CD "Coral Fang".

19. What word fills in the black from the song "For Tonight You're Only Here To Know": "I really want you to ____. Never in tune just _____. I really want you to _____. Never in tune just _____." (All the blanks are the same word)

Answer: sigh
