The Untold Story of Brody Dalle and The Distillers

Brody Dalle was born Bree Joanna Alice Robinson on January 1, 1979, in Melbourne, Australia. As the granddaughter of Al Costello, a well-known wrestling champion in the 1950s, she initially trained to become an Olympic swimmer. After her parents divorced and she was expelled from two Catholic high schools, Dalle found solace in raw, aggressive music. At the age of 12, she discovered bands like Joy Division and Nirvana, and it wasn’t long before she picked up a guitar and formed her first band, Sourpuss, at just 13 years old.

Distillers is a best female vocal punk band ever and its all because of Tim midas blessing…unfortunately they lost it after Brody did stupid and change Tim on that useless guy who even took children from her….

Yea no… she falsely accused Homme of horrible abuse related crimes… while he was secretely battling cancer. She didn’t even show up to the last hearing to gain custody of her kids back. Her and her boyfriend forged her kids signatures for legal documents. Putting her boyfriend before everything else. This woman is a wreck.

I’m letting my two and a half years old daughter watching music videos and concerts recordings because I grew up in a music-less household until I was 16 and got mind blown by the power of Music, any Music.
She’s very impressed by this video and I promised her right here, right now that I will bring her to concerts whenever I will have the opportunity (and money!).
Music is Life 🤟🏻

Josh Homme didn't just alienate her kids from her, he sent them to a messed up rehabilitation camp when they wanted nothing to do with him. She spent years fighting to see her kids, I don't know if she has seen them though. He's a narcissist and I lost all respect for him seeing her struggles. I don't understand why people cannot just walk away from relationships, or how they can use kids as pawns in sick games.

Shes been a long time crank head and if you guys don't know who the turd is in her and Homme's failed marriage then check it out for yourselves. But be warned…your "punk rock queen" is going to ne knocked off the pedestal you've out her on. Youre not going to look at her as an amazing wonderful person anymore. Not even a sorta ok person. Theres a restraining order barring her from any contact whatsoever with her own children. In the u.s. for the mother to have zero contact with the kids….thats almost unheard of even in very heinous circumstances. People who sexually abuse their own kids often don't het that kind of judgement. Which is crazy, but im just putting it into context. Its bad.

I saw them at emos Austin. It was absolutely the most boring punk show I’ve been to in 40 years. She stopped for 3 minutes between EVERY 2 minute song. Not saying a word. She owes me $29

I saw the Distillers sometime in the early 2000s in Toronto, Canada. During the concert some chick in the audience yelled out "I want to f*ck you Brody!".

Her grandfather was Al Costello, never heard that anywhere before, huge wrestling fan my whole life, the Kagaroos were before my time, but I know they were a huge deal in the 50’s and 60’s where tag teams were headlining shows. They were still talked about in the 1980s wrestling magazines to where I knew how big they were.

Despite Hole similarities, they did have good sound and could have sparked bigger scene. Rancid is great band but Armstrong was probably in wrong and it's pathetic two great bands kind of flamed out over the split.

Somewhere in the 90s in an Orlando Florida warped tour my friends and I met Tim Armstrong and Lars Fredrickson. Tim walked out of their way to come ask if we were in a band and did we have a demo tape? I’m not sure if Lars was married at the time, but his girl was with him and Tim introduced us to his fresh bride Brody, who he went out of his way to say was the love of his life. They seemed very, very, very in love, and he seemed totally enamored with her, even as a teen, it struck me as heartwarming how much he loved her. The guy could’ve had any woman on earth probably and he had the one that you could tell he just truly and completely loved.

I feel like her voice is barely there in some of these live recordings you have in this video. Her voice is at times not rising above the instruments enough to hear clearly. I wonder if they were trying to do this as a style or if the sound tech people didn't do a great job during those shows? Her music videos sound better because it's the exact opposite.
