Scars (band)

Fronted by Robert King and featuring Paul Research on lead guitar, John Mackie on bass, and Calumn Mackay on drums,[1] the band's first single was in 1979 on Fast Product; "Horrorshow"/"Adult/ery".

The band's song "Your Attention Please" appeared as a free gold flexi-disc in the first issue of the London-based style magazine i-D.

[4] Lemon Jelly used samples of "Horrorshow" in their song "'79 aka The Shouty Track" on the album '64–'95 in 2005.

When Lemon Jelly toured in support of '64–'95, they invited Scars (with original drummer Calumn Mackay) along to play live the sampled parts of "79 – The Shouty Track" in selected dates, including Edinburgh.

Scars played a one-off reunion gig in Edinburgh on 29 December 2010, their first live appearance in 25 years.
