June 2024 - Summer Update
Hey all,
Last few months have been pretty hectic so just giving everyone a update. January through March saw the band recording bass and drums for the new album. They were recorded at Trevor's studio outside town. many thanks to Trevor for letting us use it and for Aansen's time and commute to do it as well at Trevor's bass contribution. We also squeezed in a couple of local gigs at Cafe Deckuf which went over well in February and April. Thanks to Resist The Throne and Chaos for inviting us to play. Twas a good turnout and a blast!
Trevor left the band at the end of April due to some health issues. We were sorry to see him leave, but appreciated very much our time together albeit short. Auditions were held immediately and by the end of May, we had our man. The band welcomed Zac Bryan to the fold. He made his live debut with the band for another local gig this past month at House of Targ with headliners, Dali Van Gogh.
The band will resume recording the new album this summer with a planned autumn release later in the year. The first single is expected to be out by late summer. Stay tuned for "On & On" coming soon!
Some other projects note worthy being worked on: a new website and some new merchandise. More on these in the coming months.
Hope everyone has an awesome summer. Stay cool and rock on!!
Ger,
Scarecrowz

SEPTEMBER 2022 UPDATE
Hi all,
Yes, it's been a while since our last update. The band had been busy with shows, summer vacations and plans for rehearsing the new songs, picking which ones would be recorded and recording the new music. In late June, Sebastien left the band and a quick replacement had to be found for the remaining booked dates. Our ex-bassist, Julian was nice enough to fill in. We are still however on the hunt for a permanent bassist. If interested, send us an email or contact us on our socials!
We are also looking into some new Merch in the next while. If there is something you would like to have from the band, again, let us know.
Recording will start the first weekend in October. We'll begin with demos which will be done again in the JamBarn Studio we recorded "Dusk Of Another Dawn" at. It remains to be seen who will oversea the final recordings. We are fielding out offers from other studios in the meantime. That said, the plan is to complete the demos by end of December, begin the professional recordings in January with a Summertime release timeframe if all goes well.
We have a a couple other things on the go, but nothing worth mentioning at this time other than work to increase our online presence. More details to come!
​

Seasons greetings/Year End Review
Well, we survived yet another year of COVID. We managed to finish and release our Dusk Of Another Dawn album in March. Got back into the studio to resume rehearsals and auditions in June. Hired our new drummer Aansen in August. Performed shows again in October and November. We've amounted an bunch of new song ideas of which we are about to embark on come the new year. All in all, despite the circumstances, I would say we have persevered which has been the enternal message of this band since day one. We would like to take this opportunity to thanks our friends, families and you, the fans for helping us along this unending journey. Happy holidays, stay safe and we will keep you abreast (as always) on our plans as they unfold in the new year.

JANUARY 2021 UPDATE
Hi all,
Our second single, “Skywalk” has just been released. The new album, “Dusk of Another Dawn” will now be released in the new year due to COVID shutting down our studio earlier this year. Just some gang vocals, mixing and Mastering left to do. We will give everyone a heads up for release date soon.
The band is currently in talks to develop a new website. The band has also signed on with DALYCE Entertainment to assist the group in promotions and bookings.
Our track, “Clever Pennies” from our Refuel album, made #1 on the N1M.com Charts so big shout out to all who supported a track we never thought would be such a favourite.
​
DECEMBER 2020 UPDATE
Well, folks...that’s a wrap on the recording. We just finished the new album. The title “Dusk of Another Dawn” should see the light of day in the new year. We’re onto mixing, mastering and then packaging/promotions. We are also working on a documentary to coincide with the album’s release.
We signed a contact with Dalyce Entertainment in November to assist with Show bookings. During Covid, this might prove tricky, but confident something will come of it by Spring 2021.
Auditions will also start in the new year so stayed tuned for more details on that subject.
Have a safe and happy holiday and hope to see you in 2021!
Ger, Reno & Seb

SEPTEMBER 2020 UPDATE
​
Hi all,
​
It just occurred to me that Scarecrowz hit a milestone the other day. What with all the Covid and head deep in recording, I missed the fact the band turned 20! It’s been quite the ride so far with all the ups and downs (just like life!). Looking forward to more years of rockin’ out with all of you and again, thanks to ALL of you for your support over the years.
Rock Hard, Ride Free
