UNTHINKABLE: WE CATCH UP WITH THE SCATTERED PAGES

HEY – guess who was the first Houston act to get the nod in the hay bailing granddaddy of online music sites this year? HA HA! GOTCHA! You thought this was another Jana Hunter superfan intro, didn’t ya? WELL SBT, cause, believe it or not, the first protagonists of pop to propagate the pitchy powder blue was none other than the Scattered Pages. Well, we haven’t checked in with the Baytown bombers since, and so we decided to get all timely, fun and news you can use about it with mild mannered and dashing bassist Kurt.

TSN: Sup?
Kurt: We, the pages, keep fairly busy.
TSN: Oh word?
K: Lately, we have been grooming the ever-reliable Falcon (Paul Valdez)
into our routine. Played a smashing gig w/him last Thursday at the Mohawk in Austin. It's coming together gradually.
TSN: Yo, holla at my boy.
K: Paul is a fantastic drummer and so is Andy, meaning they each have their own styles and dynamic tendencies. Paul would never just mimic Andy's parts for the sake of consistency (and we wouldn't want him to), so it will take due time for us to congeal as a four piece. That said, the goal for the foreseeable future is to have Paul join us when his schedule and our checkbook allow but to also continue performing as a three piece. The
core of the band will still remain the three of us.
TSN: Strictly Next Level?
K: We sit perched on the cusp of yet another new musical direction. I don't really know which direction that is yet because Brandon hasn't unveiled his 14 new and finished songs and I haven't finished my 4 new songs and Andy's got stuff too.
TSN: Throw some D’s on it..
K: We plan to make two trips to Nashville this Summer. We have a publicist friend there and we think we like the city, so why not. Austin is becoming friendlier to us as we mature, so all indications are that we will be making increasingly more frequent trips there as opportunities present themselves.
TSN: Real Talk, Thanks.

You can catch the Scattered Pages tonight at the Mink with Willowz and Paper Moons.
