In Portland, you know you're becoming a big deal when you can more properly sound like you're not a big deal at all. Huh, you ask? We're talking about the DIY aesthetic, and no town does it better. Scott Garred's act rides warm and skuzzy sonics to narco-pop glory.
Scott Garred started off his career as Super XX Man (pronounced "super double ex man") in the mid-'90s while still a member of the Austin, TX indie pop trio Silver Scooter, putting out a pair of self-released cassettes. Garred has since relocated to Portland, OR, continuing a steady stream of releases that have moved from home recorded four-track material to full fledged studio productions. Along the way, he has also turned Super XX Man into a bona fide band, that these days features his wife Michelle on accordion, singer Ali Wesley, Kelly Dachtler, and drummer Bob Ham.
