Scarf Party

About Me

La partie d'écharpe est morte.
Scarf Party is an electronic music project out of Kansas City, MO. If given the opportunity to coin their own genre, Scarf Party would call it turbosad. Walking the razor-thin line between sincerity and satire, Scarf Party can perhaps be difficult to pin down, but one thing is certain: it's definitely made on a computer.
All of Scarf Party's releases thus far have been as free downloads, and this trend will likely continue in the future. Should we ever decide to try and capitalize on the work we've done, we'll play shows and sell some merchandise. In the mean time, sit back and enjoy the free music, and tell your friends.
You can reach us at scarfparty -at- gmail -dot- com.
Our fourth release (double EP):
Our third release (EP):
Our second release (Album-length EP of covers):
And lastly, our first release, "November of The Year of Our Lord Two Thousand And Seven," can still be downloaded by clicking here (double EP).
