PRESENTED BY TWELVE YEAR PROMOS AND LIBERTINE TATTOOING

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 @[NjQyMTgzOTU5MjA4MTA3Omh0dHBcYS8vMkRvcGVCb3l6LmNvbS86Og==:2DopeBoyz.com.]

Fans and critics alike can begin to anticipate FD’s third full-length album, tentatively titled Harmony Chlorine in late 2012/early 2013.
