OTHER:
Re: Sciflyer debut cd-ep - "I really liked it!" ADAM FRANKLIN (from Swervedriver) - no joke!
Sciflyer's music has been used in two professional surfing videos produced by Swell.com! One is an online-only clip of six-time world champion (and former Bay Watch star), Kelly Slater. The other is a retail home video documentary. Sciflyer is on the soundtrack with bands like Helmet, Nebula and Zen Guerilla! Video sales have reached 10,000 copies!
Sciflyer has a track on a new tribute compilation CD, Teen Feeding Frenzy, on the Go-Kustom Records label from Seattle!
