A Brief History
Victor was born on Daphne Street in London England.
His first pet was a cat named Bonzo after the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
That would make his porn star name Bonzo Daphne.
During the lo-fi, 4-track, bedroom scene of the middle nineties, Victor sat around at CiTR in Vancouver BC, Canada alot.
He recorded a series of cassettes and gave them away for free.
Titles of some of the cassettes were: "Naardvark the Sanitary Elephant Sings the Blues", "Blowups Happen!", "m.chien.eyeballs", "pepsi cobra" and "Captain Bloody America".
Victor narrowly avoided fame and fortune in the post-Beck singer songwriter craze, by being too lazy to re-record the Kathleen Hanna paean "I wanna get punched inna face" without the gratuitous swearing so that it could be played on Canadian national public radio station, CBC, by Leora Kornfeld.
Deciding that he needed to expand his musical vocabulary, Victor took guitar lessons from an old jazz guitarist who had escaped Communist Germany and played with Dexter Gordon in Paris in the sixties. This led to a 7 year detour into jazz music.
Unfortunately, as he came to jazz late, his fingers could never keep up with his brain, which almost annoyed his brain. Victor subsequently returned to his first love, writing and recording songs, and discovered to his amusement that he and his PowerMac were now able to fulfill his musical visions.
Like every other musician, Victor wishes he was in Deerhoof.

Reviews
" This is without doubt an album with something for everyone, and is at all times a fantastic voyage through the sound of Victor Scott, where you never know which direction you'll be heading in next."
Review at Culture Deluxe
"It's bold, it strikes out in all directions, exploring, experimenting, poking and prodding, finding things and turning them over and giving them a vigorous shake to see what falls out. There's hip-hop, mariachi instrumentals, folkish pop ballads, soundtrack stylings with dialogue samples, the ghost of Antonio Carlos Jobim, and brassy butt-shaking dance music with bawdy double entendres."
Review at Tuwa's Shanty
"It’s all very charmingly low-budget, as well as being all fun. That last point is key. Scott has a sense of humor about himself – check out the disc of b-sides that comes with the CD if you don’t believe me – and that’s quality that’s in short supply these days."
Review at #1 Hit Song
"His music is impossible to categorise, each track seems to have a different style, from 60s-retro sound collage, to lo-fi indie, to louche disco groove, but it's all good."
From The View From The Yoorp
"It's the best record I've heard in the last year. Unashamedly funky, unavoidable infectious, electric and electic, unapologetic. A bloody good album."
"24 quality tracks for only 3 quid. Awesome."
