L.A. Scoundrels

A new band made their first appearance at a MAMA Cares fundraiser in August: L.A. Scoundrels. Despite the name, they’re not from the west coast; it’s an aggregation of Madison-area all-stars including keyboardist Dave Adler (The Gomers, Steely Dane), multi-instrumentalist James Strelow (Dearth), and others. L.A. Scoundrels also features original songs and guitar work by Nick Matthews. There are rumblings that at least one of Strelow’s bandmates in the Elvis Costello tribute Get Happy!! may also take the stage at the Harmony on Friday, but you'll have to be there to find out for sure.
