About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

The story of Midnight Scraper started in 2001 when we got together to play some Beatles tunes and drink a few beers. Well, it got out of hand after a couple of hours so we decided to stop playing and sit down and chat instead. We were all big fans of Lennon's Beatle gang and we agreed to get started in that direction musically. As time went by we were turned on by lots of bands and styles. Country, Blues, Soul...many hours have been spent listening to fantastic music from all over the world. From time to time we've almost lived in our rehearsalroom, writing-playing-listening-recording. If you've ever been to one of our many latenight parties then you know what we're talking about. Something from Keef, Ronnie, Otis, Ray, Gram, Tampa, Ike & Tina, Aretha, Etta, Van, Leon, Taj, Rod is always bursting from the speakers or from a guitar. Many sunday afternoons are spent throwing away empty bottles and emtying ashtrays. We've had lots of fun there partying, jamming and rehearsing. Lately we've been quite busy recording our debut album, planning videos and shit. See ya!
