The Scary River project started in October 2007 after James Wolff (Super Volcano, NYC) began working with Adam Scanlon in an atmospheric shoe-gaze duet project. In January they relocated to the Copy Cat building in Baltimore, and began preparing a new 5 track EP at the Black Rock East Arts Collective (Book Eater, 2008). They performed their set for Brady Starr's art opening at the Lo-Fi Social Club in March. In March, Kenny Sanders (diemonsterdie/Labianca-Morpheus Records) joined the group with live drums to augment their electronic beats and Dave Underhill (Suits) began adding new keyboard and guitar parts to songs from the Neon Guns LP James wrote in 2007 and performed in the 2007 CMJ fall festival. Hurricane Machines and Ghost were originally recordings from Neon Guns. In April 08 the quartet moved into a new practice space to write and record new material for a Joe Dombrowski's senior Peabody Recording project. Their lyrics focus on stories that depict sureal scenes of serindipity, for example "Hurricane Machine" is an allegory of two bottles lost at sea in the middle of a hurricane, and "Ghost" tells us a story about the haunting of an old building, copycat residents familier with the building will hear several familier references. Scary River is currently recording their EP at Peabody Conservatory with Joe Dombrowski, a senior recording arts major. They plan a self-release in May of their debut 3 track EP "Maybe Thats Our Fate". The quartet is currently looking for a record label for distribution booking shows in Baltimore, Washington DC, and New York City.
