A Boston MA based band in the early to late 80's who achieved a modicum of success on the college rock circuit in their day with an alt-country americana style sound. Fronted by Charlie Chesterman, their first vinyl appearance was on a 1984 Throbbing Lobster record label compilation, followed by a few singles, comp appearances, EPs and their two full-length LPs released on the Relativity label. Over the years they toured throughout the states, and built up a widespread following playing hundreds of gigs, including numerous stints opening for 80's club circuit regulars like Alex Chilton, The Replacements and Mojo Nixon. They finished their lively run with a split single with The Young Fresh Fellows and their last studio outing, 1988's Moons of Jupiter produced by Jim Dickinson. The band's lineup was included: Charlie Chesterman -- Vocals and guitar Stephen Fredette -- Guitar Mac Paul Stanfield -- Bass Randall Lee Gibson IV -- Drums Stona Fitch -- Multi-instrumentalist Burns Stanfield -- Piano/organ Chesterman, who ended the group in 1990, still performs with his newer band Chaz and the Motorbikes and has a website at http://www.CharlieChesterman.com Chesterman passed away in 2013 from colon cancer at the age of 53. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Scruffy+the+Cat">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
