Scuff
(ATTENTION! SCUFF NOW HAS A SINGER. ONE (demo) SONG HAS BEEN UPLOADED, A NEW VERSION OF "ALONE AGAIN")
When the music out there is all the same, somebody has to come and scuff off the blandness, and reshape it. Scuff has come to do that job. Playing and recording in John(drums)'s basement, Scuff has a small KC following and a fair sized online following, but plan to extend that soon.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Scuff formed theoretically in mid-april of 2003, when Ryan and John talked about getting a band together to do a video for a class project. The original lineup was..
John Colaw - Drums
Ryan Dobbeleare - Bass
Danny Cox - Guitar
Shawn Groves - Guitar
Matt Nelson - Vocals
It didn't quite work out with Shawn and Matt due to reasons that is their business and nobody elses.
The band actually got together for the first time, on Easter Sunday, on 4/20/03*. The remaining three met in John's basement and jammed for nearly 2 hours straight.
*4/20/03 = Easter, Hitler's Birthday, Columbine Anniversary, 4:20, SCUFF forms*
