ABOUT US - Distant Bells - Pink Floyd revival band

.: Who we are.. a brief history

The Distant Bells band was founded on 3rd November, 2003 originally as a live band for theatre play called "The Pink Floyd Odyssei" written by Premek Dofek and Karl Carbol. Founding members were: Premek Dofek (g,voc), Ondra Bystry (sax,keyb,g,voc), Honza Vokurka (keyb), Libor Treska (g,voc), Milan Zink (bg), Kuba Sedlak (ds,voc), Iva Macikova (voc). Before the first performance Libor Treska became the sound engineer and his possition was taken by Honza Sysel (g,perc,voc). The first concert was performed on 9 May, 2004 In 7 and half theatre.

We have desperately looked for some new vocalists. On 21 and 22 June, 2004 Marketa Sedlackova singed along with Iva but she left the band after these performances. Special light effects and video projection has been directed by Pavel Drlik. Another important person, Vojta Kala, has helped us as a technician and second sound engineer. Kamil "Kimi" Fedr, talented young photographer, shot many pictures during our shows. Premek together with Honza cut a brand new video projection for our live concerts. In summer 2004 we decided to call our group DISTANT BELLS. In September 2004 the band was finally joined by two vocalists, Katka Hanakova and Lucka Horakova.

Currently, we are preparing acoustic show called The Pink Floyd Unplugged for clubs and smaller stages. Unfortunatelly Iva Macikova, one of our founding members, left the group....:(
