   About The Scene of the Crime Rovers



We are partners with The Scrap Exchange (a really cool creative re-use organization here in Durham). 548 Foster Street. Durham, NC.

"The Scrap Exchange - where you can unleash both your inner artist and environmental activist." -The News & Observer


Mission Statement:
  • Take creative music out of the traditional music venue and into public spaces where it may be enjoyed at no cost by a wider cross-section of the community.
  • Play to promote community events such as benefits or social justice actions that the group believes are worthy causes
  • Compose and perform only works that allow musicians at every level of experience (beginner to professional) to participate in the band
  • Collaborate with the artists/creative individuals/arts organizations to create multi-arts projects that allow for participation from artists of all disciplines.


Press:
  • "...and a performance by the Scene of the Crime Rovers, a sort of punk marching band" -Matthew E. Milliken, The Herald-Sun. April 6th, 2008. (Article)
  • Featured in the News and Observer 2008 edition of "Eight Great Local Acts". David Menconi. Jan 25, 2008   (Article)   (Videos)
  • "The colorful alternative group... performed a few of its sort-of-jazzy, non-harmonizing originals along the way." -Ray Gronberg, The Herald-Sun. June 23, 2007
  • "an evolving Durham collective of out-minded people, musicians or not, as a marching band unlike anything you could have imagined"
    - Grayson Currin, The Independent Weekly. December 6th, 2006. (Article)
