Welcome. SCUM is an non-for-profit, all-for-music organization created to bring bands to you and you to the bands. Santa Cruz, California is blessed with many underground DIY scenes. SCUM exists to assist them in their promotional efforts. We sponsor low-cost, non-alcohol, non-drug all-age shows.

SCUM would like to take a moment to discuss DIY (Do It Yourself). You might be surprised to find out how easy it is to put on a show, promote a show, contact a band, produce a record, or assist a local non-profit organization.

SCUM (in association with other creative forces in the Santa Cruz community) is in the process of establishing easy access to local resources. Our goal is provide YOU the tools and the means to organize and publicize your OWN shows. We are currently collecting the necessary information to make future shows a snap to organize. If you have space, ideas, sound equipment, a radio show, ANYTHING that can help, please let us know.

SCUM will gladly list any non-alcohol non-drug all-age shows in the Santa Cruz area. Send announcements, changes and inquiries to scum@deepthought.armory.com. Special thanks to Russ Granger for his service to the Santa Cruz music community.
