Hello everyone. As you may know, former bandmember Mike Pittman suddenly passed away on August 27, 2007. The cause was due to an undiagnosed brain tumor. Mike fell into a coma and never recovered. Those who knew him will miss him greatly. He was known for his tremendous talent, kindness, honesty and wit. Mike was in DW for four years, and we're proud to have played with such a great musician and friend. We're truly honored to have met him. Our condolences go out to Mike's mom Doris, his kids Brandon and Brittany, his band "Hellstrum", and all his friends and fans out there whose life he touched with his gift. Vaya con Dios, brother.

METAL ON!

Hello everybody! As you may know, Mike Pittman ended his tenure with Distant Warning back in September 2006. Since putting the call out, we have auditioned several talented drummers (and some not), but overall we were very pleased with the response we got. Thanks to everyone that applied and auditioned.

Having said that, I'm pleased to announce that Steve Larson is the new guy behind the kit. Steve's been jamming with us since January, and he's doing great learning the vast DW catalog. Also the new material is progressing nicely. His playing is simply amazing! He's been playing drums for 35 years, and he possesses a great mastery of jazz and progressive rock techniques. All that, and he's a pretty cool dude too! We hope to have some new photos of the band here very soon.

We still won't play out for a while because we're concentrating all our efforts on getting the new album done. Also, I've been completely overhauling our website as time permits. Stay tuned!

Duane
