The Short Cut Story

The Scars were formed, when a parole-officer brought together two of his subjects: one being
Arthurx an undirected textwriter and the other
Pete Rash more a guitarist/composer type.
After spending lots and lots of time humming and playing together they build a body of songs, added were then:
Tack Crash, who had been teared out of a local bar as a drummergirl and
Lee Roy Hooker, who attended the College for International Hygienic Soccer Shoe Marketing.
They toured all ratholes of their townshipworld, before the RoteRec label offered them a record deal, that included three month at the Rosewood Studio's.

Originaly, after having poured seven and a half tons of milkshake over his mother and seven sisters Arthurx was sent to jail:
Life without parole,
A live long course on how-to-be-nice-to-your-fellow-citizens. Extremely kind behaviour favored his early release, at which he decided to dedicate his live to the arts. Whatever that would mean.

Pete Rash was caught for trafficing cowfeeder, when he carried a suitcase for a ladylike creature and only spend minor time, later became a famous tennisplayer under a different name.
Lee Roy Hooker was trucked to death by a shoeload of soccerballs.
Tack Crash blew his left ear with a double hihat, fell of a bridge to Babylon and was able to catch a fishline just before he got wet pants. Never relaesed it out of his hands.

So if you think you know anyone, who would possibly be able to fill one of the empty gaps and who could play from heaven to hell and the other way around,

Arthur..............................................Tack Crash.

"It's a full-scale assault on all six senses.Yes, you read it right. This sort of thing penetrates your psyche, too. And you don't see N'Suck doing that for you, now, do you?! And is, amazingly, startlingly poetic.

The first song, "Rude Moon," does nothing more than assault you and your sub-woofers with full- scale bawling out of the lyrics. So what? Skip to "Mother Queen" for the sonic poetry: "Please give me a glance at your daughter/Just a moment and a single faint word."

Wherefore art thou, Arthur? Dost thou knowst how bittersweet thine lyrics be, enough to wheedle a sexual favor out of a throng of disillusioned girls or three? "

Somewhere in Holland, a red Squire guitar, a delay pedal, a couch pillow and a high hat were stolen. The children whisper of a man resembling Bob Dylan living in "that" house. Somewhere Arthur has returned to his closet - waiting for a beating that already may have arrived.

I need some crack, a battery acid sandwich and another listen. The next day I will travel to Holland and see The Scars. I suggest you do the same.
