We've just added an acoustic oriented version of the band. It will feature Michelle, Johnny and Mike with alternate material and reworked versions of old and current favorites. This will be oriented to smaller, intimate venues. We think you'll really enjoy the music and the performances.

We're pleased to announce that The Distractions will be playing Woody's River Roo throughout 2008. Check the calendar for all the listings. The Roo will now be featuring bands on Saturday nights as well as Fridays and The Distractions will be a regular part of the line up. Thanks to friends for the great turnouts and making this happen.

MICHE & THE DISTRACTIONS: COME & GET IT -- Somewhere between the early '80s femme fetale band Scandal and the earthy blues bands you're likely to find at the Ringside Cafe in St. Petersburg is Miche & the Distractions. Lead singer Michelle DeLorme offers moody, sexy vocals that are at times reminiscent of a Black Velvet-y Alannah Myles.

With an impressive range -- from saucy, bluesy guitars on Quicksand to jangly Celtic riffs on Thieves -- the Distractions are a crowd pleaser for any adult audience. Note the noirish slide guitar on Fooling Around and the sassy hand-claps in If I.
