The Scaners Drop New Video Ahead of U.S. and European Tours; New 7″
As posted in Live Eye TV today
Look for French punks The Scaners to crash land their psychedelic space ship on the West Coast of the United States this coming November. The band’s first-ever visit will feature two nights in the Seattle area including a stop at Lucky Liquor in Tukwila and the Freakout Festival in Ballard. The Scaners will also be joining The Briefs for a few dates on their European tour this coming December. You can find a list of the upcoming shows after the video embed below.
Additionally, the band follows-up on their 2019 LP II (Dirty Water Records/Adrenalin Fix Music) with a new 7″ featuring a little nugget off the long-player called “X Ray Glasses: On.” An exact release date is yet to be announced but it is expected out in December via a consortium of labels including Adrenalin Fix Music, Dangerhouse Skylab, Spaghetty Town Records, and Ghost Highway Recordings. Below, you can watch the band’s video for “X Ray Glasses: On” directed by Hugo “Frogy” Reymond.
Had your fill of news from The Scaners? I doubt it! The group will also be included on a French tribute album for The Fall. Put together by the label Teenage Hate Records, the compilation is due out November 15th. The Scaners will cover the track “Sparta FC,” and the cut features Xanthos Papanikolaou from Bazooka.

The Dirty Water Club started in October 1996 in the Tufnell Park neighbourhood of north London, at a venue called The Boston. The club's name is derived from The Standells' 1966 hit 'Dirty Water' which glorifies the US city of Boston, Massachusetts.
Past performers have included The White Stripes (voted by Q Magazine as one of the top 10 gigs of all time, Mojo one of the top 30 and Kerrang one of the top 100!), The Gories, Country Teasers, Black Lips, NOBUNNY, Kid Congo Powers, The Fleshtones, Billy Childish, Radio Birdman, The Dirtbombs, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, The 5.6.7.8's, The Horrors and The Brian Jonestown Massacre to name just a few. The club has also seen some original '60s performers, such as The Monks, ? and the Mysterians, Kim Fowley, Sky Saxon, GONN, Michael Davis of the MC5 and more grace its stage.
Their in-house record label, Dirty Water Records, is one of the leading garage/beat/(real) R&B labels in the world.
