THE LATEST

March 01, 2002 - SIXSOUTH is off and running, the band left York, PA today on their 3 week tour of the western states. Having toured the East coast and Southern states in the past, this will be the first time out to the west for the band. Check the tour page to find if they are headed toward a town near you. If not don’t despair as they should be headed out for a longer tour this summer.

February 01, 2002 - Scooch Pooch proudly announces that we are in production on a 20 year retrospective of the greatest unsigned punk band of all time: THE SILLIES! This was the band whose shows the members of The Stooges and MC5 would come to see. Stiv Bators of The Dead Boys said The Sillies was one of the best bands they ever played with. Maximumrocknroll called them "Detroit's first TRUE punk rock band" while the Detroit News called them "an X-rated gong show for the young and desperate". The Cleveland Police Department banned them from the city limits after just one show there, as did the University Of Detroit. The City of Lansing shut down their concert a week before it happened. Their tour of Canada with Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers resulted in a minor case of electrocution for Thunders when he got on their bad side.
All The Sillies favorites will be on the CD from "Sex For The Handicapped" and "Lesbo Love" to their unforgettable "Love You To Death". Most of these tracks have never been available to the public and were heard only by a handful of music business insiders.
Scooch pooch also has a very limited number of their 1994 live cassette "Public Enema #1", which has been unavailable for years. Keep logging on to scoochpooch.com for more details!

December 03, 2001 - Ok, folks it is now official!! Scooch Pooch Records would like to welcome Portland OR’s very own Pornstore Janitor!! Pornstore Janitor rips loose a sloppy mix of DWARVES, MDC, CIRCLE JERKS, and DI brand of Punk Rock. Their debut release for Scooch Pooch is the stellar (we think so a least) “Porn Again”. 13 Barn burnin’ numbers. You can get more official info at http://www.pornstorejanitor.com/ or keep checkin’ in for all the updates you can use.

October 17, 2001 – A big hi-ho congrats goes to Cobraman’s alter ego Jimmy Luxury, who’s warped hip-hop-jazz-swing-type-sound can be heard in the upcoming film Ocean’s Eleven, as well as the trailer. Normally we here at Scooch Pooch HQ would not shill for the corporate movie world but what the hell. Look for Cobraman’s self titled EP and 12” single out in early January 2002. If you just can’t wait check here for the MP3 of “Taste For Danger”. Cobraman ain’t the typical Scooch Pooch release, but when faced with shit the dope ya just can’t say no. Enjoy!

September 10, 2001. Finally, after all the kickin’, screamin’ and whinin’ The Nifters Riding Shotgun has been sent to the press. The long promised debut by Sweden’s soon to be Kings of rock will hit stores on October 24. David, the mastering guru over at Better Quality Sound, had nothing but praise for this full length, saying that this baby has more energy and excitement than 99% of the work they’ve been doing. For more information on The Nifters check out their website or listen here to this scoochpooch.com exclusive. The lead track from Riding Shotgun, titled “Random Ride” is presented here in MP3 format.

Earlier this year, well July 11, to be exact Frigg A-Go-Go played the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame summer concert series. After a scorching set at the 2001 SXSW show Frigg was asked to go to Cleveland for the concert series. Being wooed with wads of cash, hotel rooms filled with booze and other such goodies how could they turn it down? And to top it all off MTV was on hand to film. The following is an excerpt from Jeremy’s email about show:
“Yeah it was a pretty cool crowd. I'd guess about 500-600 people but I could be off. I'm sure MTV will make it look a lot bigger than it actually was. I don't think most of the people knew what to make of us. They did freak out when Ronnie shoved his guitar down his pants. They really seemed to like that. Later that night Ronnie got mobbed by a group of girls. I went down the stairs and people started cheering for me which was pretty weird. I guess that was our 15 minutes and it was a blast. I'll try to send you a copy of the video. Like I said the camera was right next to a side monitor so all the sound is really fucking distorted but you can see the crowd and all of Ronnie's antics.”

If we ever get that tape we’ll try and make bits available to download on the web. In the meantime check out Frigg A-Go-Go’s “The Winning Score” LP/CD.
