Commercial Appeal, Memphis - extract from article, 2nd June, 2006
....[Stephen] Burns is back in Memphis for only the second time in six years, working on a new album and -- perhaps more exciting -- leading the latest incarnation of the band in the first local Scruffs performance in more than 25 years.
The Scruffs -- featuring Burns (vocals and guitar) with United Kingdom bandmates Paul Napier (lead guitar), Simon Cottrell (bass) and Mark Rodgers (drums) -- will perform Saturday night at tiny Murphy's, 1589 Madison. Admission is $10, and the show could start as early as 9 p.m.
The band spent much of this week at Midtown's Ardent Studios, where the Scruffs (and Big Star) made their classic early recordings. The upcoming album, titled Pop Manifesto, mostly was recorded in Scotland, but Burns wanted to finish the CD and record a couple of new songs at Ardent, the studio where he's most comfortable (and where he worked as a doorman at age 17)....
