SCURVY DOGS BEGAN LATE IN 1998 IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, WITH MIKE KLOSOFF (PHANTOM LIMBS, THE GODS, CRETACEOUS) ON DRUMS, AND EVAN ON BASS. THEY FILLED OUT THE BAND'S PERSONELL WITH SAMMY HANGOVER (DESOLATION) AND SEAN ON GUITARS, AND MATT (RUMOR 39) ON VOCALS. THEY PLAYED THEIR FIRST LIVE SHOW IN JUNE OF 1999. SCURVY DOGS RECORDED A DEMO WITH THIS LINE UP, AND RELEASED THEIR DEBUT SELF-TITLED 7 INCH EP ON PYRATE PUNX RECORDS IN LATE 2000. EVENTUALLY SEAN LEFT THE BAND, AND IT WAS DECIDED NOT TO REPLACE HIM, KEEPING SAMMY HANGOVER AS THE SOLE GUITARIST. IN LATE SPRING 2001, A DEMO CD-R WAS RECORDED. IN JUNE OF 2003, SCURVY DOGS TOURED THE WEST COAST. FOLLOWING THE TOUR, IN AUGUST, EVAN LEFT THE BAND. HIS FINAL SHOW MARKED THE RELEASE OF THEIR LP, "IT'S ALL GONNA END," ON RODENT POPSICLE RECORDS (RUN BY BILL FROM TOXIC NARCOTIC). AFTER THE DEPARTURE OF EVAN, BASS DUTIES WERE TAKEN UP BY WYATT OF BORN/DEAD. THIS WOULD BE THE FINAL LINE UP OF THE SCURVY DOGS. VOCALIST MATT WOULD LEAVE IN 2007, AND FROM SCURVY DOGS' ASHES, ABRUPT WOULD EMERGE, WITH THE ADDITION OF HEATHER (MACHINE'S AGENDA, RAPE FANSTASY) ON VOCALS. THIS EP, "RELIEVE YOURSELF," WOULD BE THE THIRD AND FINAL RELEASE FROM SCURVY DOGS (EXCLUDING THEIR EARLIER DEMOS). IT WAS RELEASED IN 2005 ON KANGAROO RECORDS (NETHERLANDS/FRANCE, BLACK VINYL), AND THE BAY AREA'S TANKCRIMES RECORDS (AKA CONTROLLED BY PLAGUE RECORDS, FIRST PRESS 500 SPLIT RED AND BLACK VINYL, SECOND PRESS 300 RED AND BLACK SWIRL). IT WAS RECORDED BY BART THURBER AT HOUSE OF FAITH AND MASTERED AT MR. TOAD'S.
