Scroat Belly Live! February 3, 2007

Bloodshot's most loved, reviled and feared band reunites for a handful of shows!

Even today, 10 years on, people at Bloodshot come to fisticuffs when talking about the most polarizing Bloodshot band ever, Scroat Belly. In the most recent dust-up, Steve held a CD tray sharpened into a plastic shank to Robs neck until he agreed to put one of their two glorious albums back in print. It didnt take much convincing because Rob knew his life was cheap compared to the cult-like fanaticism that beats in the heart of Scroat Belly true believers.

You know half the members of this band from their subsequent time in Split Lip Rayfield. And if you know anything about that band, you know they bring a ferocity to the stage unmatched this side of a terminal case of rabies. Well, Scroat Belly makes Split Lip look like the Partridge Family.

Over the years, people have tried to categorize the uncategorizable. It cant be done my friends, and thats what makes the legend of Scroat Belly endure. The feedback, the fiddles, the "what the hell?!?"

The Kansas Heartland can be a cold cruel place. Two of the most infamous things that its ever produced are In Cold Blood and Scroat Belly. When you can read the former for laughs youll be ready to understand the latter.
