The Randells will play!

Scruffy the Cat will play a free warmup show at Cuisine en Locale, 156 Highland Ave. in Somerville, at 9pm on Wednesday, 7/22. I mean, "The Randells" will play this show, slip of the fingers. See you there!

Scruffy playing TT the Bear's Place's grand finale!

See the press release for details!

The Good Goodbye is out!

"The Good Goodbye is a marvelous look into the band's lost archives, and the Memphis tracks suggest they had at least one more great album left in them if they'd gotten the record deal they needed at the time." - AMG

Get it now directly from Omnivore, or from Amazon, iTunes, or wherever else you get music!


Praise for the Sony and Omnivore releases!

"one of the finest under-the-radar acts of their time." - American Songwriter

"It was with surprise, elation, and a few 'hell yeah's' thrown in that word came of the impending reissue of the band's albums..." - No Depression

"Look, I might not know you personally, but you go out now and get these as soon as they hit... Yes, I'm excited, why do you ask?" - DJ Illuminator

We're very excited to announce that a whole slew of Scruffy music - unavailable for years - will be released in August 2014. Sony Music has remastered all four of the band's official releases (2 LPs and 2 EPs - 38 tracks!) and will be issuing them as Time Never Forgets: The Anthology (86-88). Meanwhile, the good folks at Omnivore Recordings are assembling a collection of previously-unreleased and rare recordings. These two projects should be amazing companion pieces and together will represent "the complete studio works" of the band. We're very happy that the music will again be available for our fans, old and new.
