School of Etiquette

Boyskout came to fruition in 2001 when singer guitarist Leslie Satterfield was offered a show opening for her long time favorite act The Need. Never mind that Boyskout didn't exist yet, or that she only had three weeks to prepare. She and band mates took the stage with a handful of songs, a bucket full of nerves, and disposition to spare. In 2003 the ladies of Boyskout met up with acclaimed Bay Area producer Jeff Salzman (Stephen Malkumus, Killers, Will Oldham) who recorded their debut album School of Etiquette, which came out in 2004 on Alive Records (Black Keys, Two Gallants). The album garnered critical praise, such as: 'If some CBGB's Frankenstein had managed, circa 1977, to transplant Patti Smith's sensibility into Blondie's garage-band pop, the result would have sounded something like BoySkout's 'School of Etiquette.'- Mark Jenkins, Washington Post.
