Scomo Goes To Hawaii

by Dr Sure's Unusual Practice

supported by

R Dawn Timely but bizarre little statement EP. Dr Sure's are in touch with the absurdity of a very real crisis on this release. Favorite track: Thoughts & Prayers (From The Deckchair).

about

A Christmas mini album called “5 songs written in Hawaii by a climate change denier, Pentecostal christian and national leader whilst on holiday during a catastrophic national disaster the likes of which have never been seen in recorded history” or “Scoomo Goes 2 Hawaii” written by Dr Sure 21-23 December 2019

50% of profits will be donated to the RFS to assist in their ongoing battle, the other 50% will get Scomo back to Hawaii after this whole thing blows over.

(That’s a gag btw, 100% of profits have gone to the Rural Fire Service / volunteer firies. There’s also a bunch of options here to donate directly www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/dec/21/how-you-can-donate-and-help-the-volunteer-firefighters-in-australias-bushfire-crisis )

I'm so glad PP is getting some due and getting out there in the world and playing where others can find and also love them. Bouncy and punky with an edge and a humor that is properly edgy, not just gauche. Richard Weems
