Scraping for Change*

Scraping For Change (also known as SFC) is a Bay Area based rock band. The band
formed in Belmont, California in 2003. Scraping For Change is lead by vocalist and
guitarist Sterling Selover. He is currently working with bassist Jon Graham and
drummer Joe Sanchagrin.

The founding members of the band were Sterling Selover and Anthony Andrade, Jr. They
met while attending Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California. They
instantly began playing and writing songs together. Selover and Andrade, Jr. had an
opportunity to record demo tracks at a small studio built in the garage of a
residential home in Turlock, California. Before going into the studio to record a
demo track called "Black and White," Selover and Andrade, Jr. acquired the use
of Manny Gonzalez, a college friend, to play bass on the recording. The band grew
with the addition of Chris Lovero on guitar, also a college friend.
Scraping For Change made their debut on Notre Dame de Namur University's college
campus in the spring of 2004. They played their first concert as Scraping For Change
with Selover, Andrade, Jr., Gonzalez, Lovero and brought in Tim Urbanski to play
drums.
The band went back into the studio to record demo tracks as a four piece with a
studio drummer. Later they called on long-time friend and drummer, Joe Szulkowski to
join the band and to complete the demo sessions.
In the summer of 2004, Scraping For Change went into Sparks Studios in Emeryville,
California to work on their debut album, Heartaches and Danger. They worked with
Kirk Casey and Tim Gorman (who has worked with The Who, The Rolling Stones, and
others). They released their debut album in August 2004.
"Crazy Mary" and "Neverending Blue," tracks off Heartaches and Danger hit the
airwaves in Indonesia on rock radio station Prambors 102.2 FM in November 2006. SFC
went on tour throughout Indonesia in the summer of 2007 to play in the largest music
festival where their song "Crazy Mary" hit 1 on the charts!!!
Scraping For Change is currently working on a follow-up album to Heartaches and
Danger. The band is very excited about the music that they are currently writing.
They believe it to be the best music they've ever written. Songs will be
periodically posted for a sneak peak at what's to come.
