Welcome to the official
SCATTERBRAIN
pseudo website!
News, music, videos, merchandise, and other
miscellaneous miscellanea.
Scatterbrain was a band that defied labeling. Rock? Hardcore? Metal? Thrash? Rap? Yeah, all that and more. Scatterbrain wrote, recorded, and toured from 1989 - 1994. For many, they were known for their minor hit, "Dont Call Me Dude," which received regular rotation on MTV's "Headbangers Ball," and was a top-ten pop single in Australia. For others though, these guys were about much more than one song or video. Real Scatterbrain fans knew the band as tight, talented, diverse, funny, heavy, clever, and kick-ass.
The band was formed in 1989 from the leftover pieces of the classic NYHC band Ludichrist. Ludichrist was known for its excellent musicianship and eclectic sound, and these elements were carried over to Scatterbrain. Without the hardcore label of Ludichrist, Scatterbrain was free to take the music anywhere they wanted, and take it they did. How many bands cover Cheech and Chong, and Mozart on the same album? Scatterbrain did. Their debut album, Here Comes Trouble, showed the bands hardcore/trash roots, but added a whole lot more. Jazz, classical, rap, hard rock, blues, funk, classic rock, doo-wop, avant-garde, punk, and more, could all be heard rambling through this record, as well as their subsequent releases, Scamboogery and Mundis Intellectualis.
The band also had a reputation for great live shows. They were tight, heavy, and highly entertaining. Debauchery, costumes and cover songs were nightly occurrences as Scatterbrain littered the stages and cities of the world with their presence. Besides ripping through their original material, on any given night one might see a medley of Mozart or Motorhead, a cross-dressing, dildo-slinging version of Motley Crues "Girls, Girls, Girls," a giant chicken singing Lynyrd Skynyrd or The Allman Brothers, and the band channeling the devil himself for Frank Zappa's "Titties and Beer."
And now they're back, but just for a minute. See 'em while you can - you may never get another chance...

You guys rock, and I really appreciate how you have tried to get the word out on a label which should be forever blotted out of the American Lexicon, "DUDE." I fly into a mad rage when I hear that seemingly simple random assortment of letters. I mean I really choke a bitch!
I remember seeing Scatterbrain twice in Australia back in the early 1990's. What a trip man! A great live band with fucking killer riffs, time changes, parts, lyrics etc, have all the cd's (some you signed at an instore in my hometown of Adelaide!). Was a pity you split up but was glad to hear that you got the band back together again, just wanna know, is there any chance in hell, that you'll come back to sunny Australia? Would be an awesome comeback to these shores, let me tell ya! Still heaps of old school fans down under, so please please, come back to Australia dudes ...oh wait, I can't call you dude!!!
Does anybody know whats happening with Mike Boyko? The man is one of my all time inspirational & legendary drummers.....whats happening mate? where are you?
