GIGS LIST

Did you ever see Scruffy the Cat play live but you don't remember when or where it was?
What was the name of the band that opened for them in [insert city here]?
Did they really play a show with Paula Abdul?
Scruffy bass player MacPaul Stanfield has made answers to such questions
more than possible by generously providing a comprehensive list
of every* Scruffy show complete with date, city, venue, bill and comments.

*Big Tim from Plymouth, MA has sent in a scan of a ticket for a Scruffy show that took place TEN MONTHS before the first show listed here. See the HOMEPAGE under February 20, 2006 news for details.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've just been informed that this list is comprised of (for the most part) all shows that took place once MacPaul joined the band. There are some missing shows & perhaps quite a few shows earlier than the first one listed here. Any information added by me to MacPaul's list will be done in BLUE TEXT
