George Scott III (October 16, 1953 - August 5, 1980) was a bass player for several New York City bands during the No Wave era.
He eventually bought a bass guitar and joined Boris Policeband and Randy Cohen in an early no wave band called Jack Ruby,[1] named after the man who assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald.
After Jack Ruby dissolved around late 1977, Scott joined the Contortions, a band led by James Chance, formerly with Teenage Jesus and the Jerks.
The same year, he appeared on a No Wave "disco" album by James White and the Blacks, which was essentially the Contortions with a new name and sound.
It was around this time that Scott teamed with Lydia Lunch, who had worked with Chance in Teenage Jesus to form 8-Eyed Spy, a fairly popular No Wave band that consisted of Pat Irwin, Michael Paumgarden and Jim Sclavunos.
