Original Saliva singer Josey Scott was recently a guest of That Fuzzing Rock Show and talked about his new band, Shade Violent, “It’s a collection of some friends of mine here where I live in Oklahoma. And my stepson Dylan is my rhythm guitar player. And we’re just in the process of writing the record right now. And we’re just now getting in the studio and starting to figure some things out. We’ve done a couple of shows, a couple of start-up shows… But, yeah, we’re just getting it together and sort of sussing things out.”
Scott talked about his approach to the new music, “My mission is to get back to that kid in Memphis. One of my favorite producers, Malcolm Springer, in Nashville, said, ‘Where’s that kid that used to run around with a green notebook full of lyrics under his arm and the backpack and the black blazer? Where’s that kid at?’ And that’s exactly where I’m trying to find my way back to that kid. I’m trying to find a way back to that first love, why I fell in love with music in the first place and why I think music is so beautiful and so moving.”
