In February 2007, Scrub Club's page passed the mark of 10,000 song downloads from Soundclick. Still growing!
As of April, the Scrub Club Records Soundclick page has been viewed over 23,000 times. Due to switching gears and us putting our music available for download on our OWN site instead of Soundclick's, we have stopped using their premium services and will no longer have access to all of this chart information.

"Ganon Slayer" topped the entire Video Game genre at Soundclick, reaching #1 in a matter of a week, beating out all 4,240 other entiries. In the much larger Electronic genre, it hit #10, beating out an amazing 197,524 other entries.

"Fake" set high on the Alternative Hip Hop charts at Soundclick, reaching #14 in about a month's time, beating out an astounding 71,158 other entries. On the entire Hip Hop charts, it hit #408, beating a staggering 1,043,075 entries.

"Way Back" keeps rising on the Alternative Hip Hop charts as well. As of this report, it sits at #126, beating out 71,046 other entries. On the whole Hip Hop charts, it is at #1,946, beating out 1,041,537 other entries!

What Hatter considers an old, shitty, weak attempt at freestyle spoken word, "3AM Freestyle" sits at #265 on the Spoken Word charts, beating out 3, 876 other entries. Damn.

All songs on the Tensix album except for "Snap" were above #1654 on the Alternative Hip Hop charts at Soundclick, beating out more than 69,500 other entries! Snap stays at #2332, still beating out 68,840 entries.

Even more impressive, all songs on the Noncents album were above #1615 on the Alternative Hip Hop charts at Soundclick, also beating out more than 69,500 other entries!

OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS

Scrub Club is known around the city of Wichita and the surrounding area as "The good guys" that help out everyone else in the underground and artistic communities and currently is not the target of beef from anyone. At least, not that THEY know of.

MadHatter's song "Fake" gained an amazing 80% Phat vote from ICP's Phat Or Wack Contest, the highest score ever achieved, but also shared with Scrub Club's former artist from New York "Da Kippa" with his song "Am I Crazy?" which also ranked an 80%.

"Tensix" was professionally pressed and released by Scrub Club Records with $1,800 in financial backing from Ninja Records. Ninja Records picked up on MadHatter's music through online promotion of the FIRST version of Tensix, which was recorded on a $6 microphone as Hatter slept on floor after floor of his friend's apartments after he was forced homeless in 2003. Multiple sites like Amazon.com, CdBaby, and other distributors still sell an unending supply of this album for a price of $3.50 to $10, but Hatter doesn't get a single penny of the profit. All the money goes straight back to Ninja Records.

Denise Neil from The Wichita Eagle has stolen 2 stories from MadHatter without credit. That's an accomplishment.

One morning while Hatter was getting decimated by a chiropractor in 2001, the radio was on B-98's "The Brett & Tracy Morning Show." The two extremely conservative DJs were bashing on the Shadow Puppets, claiming that things like us and our music were twisting the young people of Wichita into violent teens. Several other nutty old people called in and agreed with them, even though we're sure none of them ever heard any of our music. Free promotion! Thanks!

On at least two separate occasions, Power 93.9 resident douchebag djs Crash and The Hitman have dissed Scrub Club, not even getting the name right. "Scrub Records" and "I'm A Scrub Records" were the monikers they used, and the funny part is that they were calling us Scrubs and saying we were broke and couldn't possibly be making money in Wichita. They obviously didn't know who they were talking about. Dumbshits. Free promotion again!

Once upon a time, Wichita radio-hit-whatever Twansac was rumored to have beef with MadHatter and vice-versa. Hatter met up with him in person at one of Twan's promo events and made sure everything was all cool. Just rumors.

Other than the USA, we currently have Scrub Club Soldiers in Canada, China, Australia, Sweden, Germany, Brazil, South Korea, Great Britain, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, Russia, India, Singapore, France, Ireland, Malaysia, Argentina, Bahrain, and Hungary. Worldwide, baby! Even in small numbers, those small packs of Soldiers in other countries will spread the message like a virus! It will only be time now...

We're pretty sure we own the record for the amount of flyers in one space at one time in Kansas. Over the years, we have literally personally handed out over 200,000 flyers. But once, former member Dub tossed bundles containing 20,000 flyers off a parking garage roof as we watched the fiery red and yellow papers float slowly into Old Town. Not exactly something we had planned... We're sure the street cleaners were not very happy.

The professionally pressed "Tensix" cd is still being bought online under the publisher Ono Productions. Copies have popped up in Japan and Mexico.

Once during 2001, Joe Roach (Previously of T-95) announced that we were promoting for the Shadow Puppet's first show live on the air. It included instructions on how to get where we were... which was up and down Douglas. We were there on the street corners in full costume giving stopped cars flyers and avoiding the police. It was a fun time. We'd like to say it was because Joe loved our music, but in fact, he didn't care for it. Our fans at the time were just jamming his phone lines requesting for on-air help.

Bands we have played with live: The Used, Skinlab, Handsome Devil, Toe Tag Timmy, Vyreal, Balance, Doc, D.R.E., Tempest, Hyper Sniper, Sokt, KRT (Knight of the Round Table), St. Chuck, DJ SVS, Vivisection, Reach, DJ De4ek, StrongBad, True Illusion, DJ Blue, and others we can't remember.

MadHatter's song "Snap" has been credited on several occasions for saving the lives of people who were lost and even ready to give up their life rather than deal with abusive families and other horrible situations. It's also the Scrub Club track that EVERYONE can relate to. Hatter gets emotional to this day whenever he performs this song live, because of the understanding looks in people's eyes in the crowd as they listen to his words.

Scrub Club was featured in the Lucas-Sylvan Newspaper (Russell County) on Thursday, June 2nd, 2005 for stirring up the town during their shooting for the "Puppet Show" music video. The half-page article submitted by the amazing folks at The Garden of Eden, included a large picture of the entire cast, friends, and production crew for the video. The story ended with a plug for the site. Here is the article in its entirety:

MUSIC VIDEO MADE AT GARDEN OF EDEN

The Garden of Eden had some unique visitors from Wichita on Sunday, May 22ns that had some people turning heads to take a second look while driving by. A band called The Shadow Puppets were here filming a music video in the back yard of the Garden of Eden. It is the second music video the band has worked on together and they have other songs and cds as well. The group had on yellow and black face paint and mostly black clothes on, so you can imagine what a sight it would be to drive by and see that at the place that everyone remembers as spooky.

The name of the song they were dropping the video for was "Puppet Show. (Shadow Puppets: "Second Act") If you would like more info on this band, you can visit their website at www.scrubclubrecords.com.

Making the video at The Garden Of Eden was an accomplishment in itself, what with the legendary 92+ year old property of S.P. Dinsmoor being an official National Historic Registered location. It is the first and only music video filmed at that property. Here's a little more on the wonderfully beautiful and creepy Garden of Eden taken from the "Legends Of America" web site:

In central Kansas, just 15 miles north of I-70, sits the tiny town of Lucas.  Though the town has less than 500 residents, it was officially designated as the “Grassroots Art Capital of Kansas” by the governor in 1996.

While there are several grassroots art sites in this small town, the most famous is the Garden of Eden.  Built by Samuel Perry Dinsmoor, a retired schoolteacher, Civil War Veteran, and Populist politician, Dinsmoor moved to Lucas in 1891and settled on a farm outside of town with his wife. However, in 1905, at the age of 62, Dinsmoor bought property in town and set about building his "creation."  The first task at hand was the construction of a “log cabin,” which wasn’t made of logs at all, rather, the 27 foot timbers were actually carved from limestone.  The artist also built much of his own furniture, including a desk where he kept his money, due his extreme distrust in banks.  In no time, passersby were stopping to look at the unusual house, which Dinsmoor called "the most unique home for living or dead on Earth."  Completed in 1907, the eccentric artist began to give tours of the house the following year. For the next 22 years, Dinsmoor continuously labored to build his unique “Eden” adding some 150 different sculptures, representing his interpretation of the world’s creation, history, and his personal views of political goings-on.  Utilizing 113 tons of concrete over the years, the eccentric artist created mammoth insects, angels with massive wingspans, 40 foot tall trees, frolicking children, numerous political messages, and even a waving concrete American flag.  Life size statues of Adam and Eve welcomed visitors to his home with Eve offering visitors an apple.  However, the original sculptures so shocked the townspeople as they portrayed their "natural state," the town leaders soon forced the artist to cover their "privates" with concrete loincloths.An "all-seeing-eye-of-God" was hung from a branch on the "tree of life."  The "eye" included a hose that ran from the basement of the house so that Dinsmoor could shout at passersby, pretending to be God speaking to them.  The first to have electricity in the town, Dinsmoor wasted no time wiring his sculptures so that they could be lit up at night.  Dinsmoor even created his own 40-foot high pagoda-style stone and concrete mausoleum for himself and his wife. However, when his wife died, the town insisted that she be interred in the cemetery rather than the mausoleum.  Though Dinsmoor initially complied, he later dug up her coffin and placed it in a steel-reinforced crypt in the mausoleum so that she couldn't be moved. Shortly after Dinsmoor’s first wife died, the artist married his 20-year old housekeeper in 1924.  Eighty-one years old and still going strong, the pair had two children.  For his new bride, he built a sculpture of his own face, just outside the kitchen window, so that she would see him waving at her every day. Up until just a few years before his death in 1932, Dinsmoor continued to provide tours of his home and garden to the many curious people who stopped by for a look.  He even created a tour book for the property. When the artist died at the age of 89, he left instructions that he be mummified like an Egyptian and placed in a glass-topped coffin in the mausoleum.  He continues to rest there today and can still be viewed by visitors.

Today, the Garden of Eden is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and welcomes some 10,000 visitors a year.  The site is owned and operated by a preservation group."

As you can imagine, Scrub Club holds the chance to make a film at the historic Dinsmoor property with pure honor.
