Recently reunited trio Scarce have been playing here and there for the last year-and-a-half or so, and tomorrow night they’re going to be at Jerky’s. As part of the wave of Boston-area alternative bands to get major record deals in the mid-nineties, things looked really promising for Scarce until fate intervened; shortly before the release of their album Deadsexy, singer Chick Graning suffered an amnesia-inducing brain hemorrhage that caused him to forget all the words and guitar parts to all of his songs.
The group waited for him to recover, then re-recorded the album, but that time the fickle people at A&M had lost interest and the band broke up shortly after. It’s really unfortunate, because Deadsexy is one of the best albums of that era.
