Sea Scouts

Sea Scouts was born in 1994 at the initiative of Tim Evans (ex Mouth) on the side of Hobart, capital of Tasmania. The latter joins bass player Zach Von Bamburger (U.F.O.) and the two competitors manage to play and then release a first EP with the reinforcement of a rhythm box to compensate for the absence of a drummer. Monika Fikerle, a young self-taught beginner, quickly took up the position to complete what would be the band's first version. Equipped with a strong, dark and noisy musical personality, atypical - Monika, for example, plays without a snare box - which the public struggles to identify, the trio scummed above all its original island, nevertheless offering a quick getaway on the continent. The band implodes in the year of its creation following Monika's departure shortly after the return of the tour. Separated but not dead, Sea Scouts returned to life in 1996, still under the impulse of Tim who had been associated for some time with a new bassist: Alex Pope. The duo left from scratch, still without drummer and again accompanied for their live performances of a rhythm box replaced by Andy Hazel (ex U.F.O.) and then by Sara May Libero... before the formation finally recorded the return of its original drummer in 1997 after she found herself playing again with Tim in IOOIIOI .This lineup will be the most lasting but also the last one that Sea Scouts knew. It will allow him to pass a course with some more prestigious openings (including Pavement) as well as to record two albums (the band will re-record Pattern Recognition with Monika) and an EP in three years and even to fly away in 1999 for a confidential American and European tour, Cahotic and DIY as possible. Back in Australia, the trio will finally decide to stop the adventure there and disappear definitively one evening in February 2000 after a final concert in its original city. Members of the group have since been seen in different formations: Tim founded Bird Blobs and lives in New York, Alex is noticed in Ruins, Monika appears in the lineup of Baseball and Love Diagrams.
