NEWS 6/8/02:
Well, as most of you have figured out by now, The Scrubs are no longer an active band. There is no great breakup story - it was just time for us all to do different things. But we can't thank everyone we met while playing with this band enough. We will take these experiences with us for the rest of our lives.
So what now? Well, Jamie has started a new rock band called Caruso, who will be playing its first shows during this month of June. Mike has been playing with our good friends The Story Changes, the rock band from Dayton, Ohio. And Jeff has been gettin' down at the Berkley School of Music in Boston. We hope you all keep in touch and maybe we'll be in your town soon with our new bands. Peace.

Look for it on Warner Cable in the Cincinnati area.
