The Scarring Party want desperately to tour the west coast. To cover our expenses, we’ve set up some rather bizarre incentives.
The Scarring Party wants desperately to tour the west coast this April/May. Unfortunately, the making of our new album Losing Teeth left us virtually bankrupt and unable to fathom embarking on a venture west.
We are a band without a booking agent or record label, and while we are quite accustomed to funding records and these endeavors ourselves, sometimes we need to rely on the kindness of strangers and patrons. Would you like to be one of our strange patrons?
To cover some of our expenses, such as renting a van, gas and potentially shipping or renting larger pieces of gear, we’ve set up a set of ludicrous incentives through Kickstarter to assist with finances for our tour. We wanted our incentives to be personalized in some manner, like song portraits, unique mixes and dental paraphernalia. If we reach the goal of $1500, we can finally tour the west coast (California, Oregon and Washington).
You can hear our music at the Scarring Party web parlor or on myspace. If you prefer reading about music to actually hearing it, the Onion AV Club wrote a wonderful review of our new record.

A plaster cast of Daniel’s teeth. This is one of a kind. There are likely many sane people wondering why anyone would be interested in such an odd item. Our place is not to pass judgment.

The Scarring Party will write a song portrait about you, exaggerating your exploits and sensationalizing your biography in narrative song. We will record the song and send it to you. With our help, you can achieve immortality.
