Scarfo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scarfo were a British rock band formed in Andover, England in 1994 by former art college students Jamie Hince (vocals, guitar), Nick Prior (bass), and Al Saunders (drums). The band moved to London where they played many gigs, attracting the attention of Fierce Panda Records, who issued their debut single, "Skinny" in 1995. They then signed to Deceptive Records and their self-titled mini-album was released in November of that year. They released several singles over the following three years (two of these - "Alkaline" and "Cosmonaut No. 7" - making it into the UK top 75), and the album "Luxury Plane Crash" (1997).

Jamie Hince is now the guitarist in duo The Kills.
