1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
S.C.R.D. TO PERFORM DEBUT SINGLE “SOMEDAY”
AT BETTER BOOZE FESTIVAL, WEBSTER HALL, NYC
Saturday, June 13, 2015 • 12:00p ­ 3:30p
New York, NY (June 10, 2015) ​­ Gramercy based creative duo ​Sweet Chuck​ and ​Ravin Dave​ are
ramping up to release their first studio single, “​Someday​” later this month. But not before they appear as
special musical guests at the ​Better Booze Festival​, this Saturday, June 13, 2015 at ​Webster Hall​.
These two metro­sexual peas in a pod are a modern day Cheech & Chong, meet Jack Black, with old
skool beats, nu­skool instrumentation and a fresh new underground sound. Infused with witty, humorous
and slightly satirically lude lyrics, ​S.C.R.D.​ take us on a journey through heartbreaks with a passionate
love for life and the thirst for adventure by two rockstars!
In their first debut pre­release single performance, S.C.R.D. will be joined by DJ 187 Sound and the
magnificent ​Marissa Mermaid​, a talented and well­known violinist who’s part will be played by
Marissa Licata​. Similar to Sweet Chuck and Ravin Dave, Marissa Mermaid is a fictional character that is
being created and brought to life not only through the music, but also social media, online content and live
performance.
The Better Booze Festival is presented by ​U.S. Veg Corp​ and Webster Hall, and the event aims to
showcase a variety of alcoholic products free of ingredients derived from animals and other unsavory
items that aren’t necessary in making quality and delicious drinks.
“This festival is aimed to raise people’s awareness that not all alcohol is created equal. If the FDA
required all ingredients to be listed on alcoholic beverages most people would be shocked and not in a
good way”, proclaims co­organizer Nira Paliwoda.
Similar to the goals and objectives of the festival, S.C.R.D. are out to do the same, but through music.
Meaning, Sweet Chuck and Ravin Dave have taken an organic approach to making music. “Someday” is
the first single on their forthcoming album “The Adventures of. . .” due out this fall. The track features a
well known bassist and violinist, both who help bring life to the record and depth to the overall sound.

2. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
S.C.R.D.’s approach to making music is the tried and true approach via collaboration. They are doing it in
a 21st­century style writing, composing and recording of each concept, all which are based on true
stories. “Someday” is not just a story about heartbreak and rebound, musically it’s a story about
collaboration between a bunch of characters seeking to release and have fun.
