Dear Scratchers,
Here is the result of an interview Charlotte at the Herts Ad newspaper gave Andy... a few of the facts appear to have been, how can we say 'misinterprited'... but hell, why let the truth get in the way of successful story! Thanks Charlotte...
Scratching A Hometown Itch
16:37 - 04 December 2008
PUNCHY pop band The Scratch have returned from a nationwide tour and are now determined to conquer their home town of St Albans.
John Viney, Andy Thompson, Andy Grimwood and The Baron met in St Albans and have been playing together for seven years. With two albums under their belt and performances at gigs all over the country, the band have collected a strong basis of teenybopper support and celebrity fans such as Goldblade's John Robb.
But it all began with performances at St Albans pubs and lead singer Andy Thompson felt that it was about time they returned to their roots. He said: "We want to concentrate on being a St Albans band at the moment and winning fans from our home town. Our city produces great bands year after year and we're hoping we'll be the next ones to make it big!"
The band, who have performed alongside acts such as Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller, describe their music as funky pop laced with a bit of punk and include The Blur among their list of inspirational artists. They have played live sessions on radio stations such as XFM, when DJ Clint Boon praised their, "ace tunes and great spirit" and predicted that they'd go all the way.
The St Albans born and bred rockers spent last month filming here for their most recent single, Against the Grain, and they have also committed themselves to a weekly performance at The Horn starting in 2009, where they'll also play a special charity gig on December 18.
Against the Grain will be released next month and you can find out more about The Scratch and their up-and-coming performances at www.thescratch.co.uk
