Flight Distance (DJ Calkuta and MCs Patience & Bender) are an
independent hip-hop group from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. They formed in
2004, releasing their highly regarded debut album, Run For Your Lives!
in 2005. They quickly became a local favourite because of their
memorable energetic, engaging live performances and cold &
calculated, thought-provoking and exciting recorded material.
Flight’s strong hometown following has since helped them take their live show from Ontario and Québec to south of the border and overseas to England and France, with further touring in the works.
They’ve toured with OG Hindu Kush, Ceschi (Fake Four Inc.) and Thesis
Sahib (Grimm Image Records). FD has also shared the stage with such acts
as Ghostface Killah, GZA (Wu-Tang), Shad, Jedi Mind Tricks, Action
Bronson, Brother Ali and even the father of hip-hop, Kool Herc, among
countless others.
Flight Distance have been a mainstay at
Montréal’s popular Under Pressure International Graffiti Convention,
performing many times over the years. Including in 2011 with Masta Ace.
That same summer, they also played Albany, NY’s Beat*Shot Festival,
(also with Masta Ace) and MEG Fest (Montréal Electronic Groove). In
2012, they were featured in Canadian Music Week (CMW) and played
Ottawa’s coveted RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest.
In 2011, Bender was
crowned champ of King Of The Dot (Canada’s premier rap battle league)
and is considered one of the finest battle MCs in the world.
Bad Information maintained #1 position on CHUO FM radio in Ottawa for 4
weeks, and debuted at #4 on !earshot, the national campus and community
radio report, in their October 2011 specialty chart for hip-hop.
Flight Distance’s music has been featured on several influencial
hip-hop blogs including the highly-esteemed @[NjQyMTgzOTU5MjA4MTA3Omh0
Fans and critics alike can begin to anticipate FD’s third full-length
album, tentatively titled Harmony Chlorine in late 2012/early 2013.
