BATTLE BORN - GERMANY

Battle Born is the debut full-length from Scurvy Bastards who began in 1999 as an impromptu all are welcome party-crashing experience in Carson City, Nevada. They foiled other peoples' drinking attempts with sea-shanties played on accordion, a banjo, pots, pans, guitars. All this and a growling Cap'n. Eventually, the switch was made to incorporate a rhythm section, and song arrangements came together shortly thereafter. The Bastards' debut single, the Polaris 7', was released in the summer of 2002 on Slovenly Recordings and is now out-of-print. To date, Scurvy Bastards have played extensively in the western U.S., Opening up shows for Pere Ubu and Wesley Wills, among others. Their first fullU.S. Tour will begin in April 2003. Tracklist?1.
