Electric Bass, Keyboards, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar
Tim Daniels crawled out of the sand on the beaches of San Diego back when his buddies were graduating high school. There was no surf that summer so he kept his mind busy with an acoustic guitar and 44 ouncers. Eventually the boardwalk politics ruled out this sort of riff-raff and sent him to the alleys of downtown, where he was taught meaningful song-craft and heartfelt guitar playing. The competition and prostitution was overwhelmingly exhausting so Tim hopped a freight car to the open blue skies of Taos, New Mexico and formed his band, The Distractions.
He begged, borrowed, and recorded 12 songs and called it Exclamation. The local radio station loved it and kept six songs in rotation for years. They still play a few now and then between commercials. With all the fame and fortune Tim could afford to dabble in bass guitar and keyboards, which brings us to the present. Tim recently found his joy ride in Gertrude's Hearse where the open road seems to be the future.
