THE SCANERS: Synth-Punk Menace Prepare (Third) European Tour Invasion - Festival and Club Dates Announced

PROMO ACCESS

BOOKING ENQUIRIES

HAILING from Lyon, France THE SCANERS form a sonic kaleidoscope made up of particles from The Ramones, Devo, The Dickies, and The Screamers with essences of others such as Brainiac, Useless Eaters and The Briefs.


 

Disguised as a raucous band of garage punks, this group of extraterrestrials dropped their debut self-titled LP back in February and have been on the fly ever since; swooping in on every un-spoilt and un-cropped circled hectare of European soil that hasn’t yet witnessed their ultimate abduction of our senses.

You can run, but there’s nowhere to hide from this band’s infectious punk. With drums bouncing along at a breakneck pace and a lobotomized guitar line twitching under the knife, The Scaners get right to work drilling their hooks firmly in your earholes -- and rumour has it, they have a new album armed and ready for release next year.

ORDER VINYL

The group will blast off next week on their third European tour this year, hitting the club and festival circuit like a guided missile from unknown corners of the cosmos; like a dance party in Area 51, their rhythmic blast hips to its own sonic infestation of devilry; with vocalist Pav Scaner hot-footing across the strands of temptation like a dervish as the keys of his organ dance as ones ears and appetite are instantly baited and trapped. 

Bassist Tama Scaner and drummer BX Scaner fuel their irresistible surge along with the escalated, spatial theremin gas and raw guitar prowess of Dédé Scaner getting under our skins like an infernal but exciting itch which you want to scratch but never lose.

The fusion of sixties, seventies and current punk ‘n’ roll, The Scaners are simply irresistible; manna to the devil in us all, they leave you with the feeling we are not alone.

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.
