     I've had more women than Wilt Chamberlain," Leonard of Scramble Riots tells me. He and The Sauce sit on the stage. Some laser thingy is being shown on the adjacent wall. It's 6:15 pm, 45 minutes before the show begins. Scramble Riots is scheduled to perform in a few hours and they are READY!! When Leonard sees me scribble down his sexual history ("I should never talk to the press") he leaves me to speak with The Sauce.

     Scramble Riots is a San Francisco band (although Leonard is from New York) with twelve members and a female vocalist. "She does all the vocals," says The Sauce. They play a mesh of everything: rock, rap, techno… The Sauce says his specialty is his rap, and he moves his arms in a simple, swift movement that I couldn't do on a good day.

     "Are you expecting any dancers?" I ask.

     "Oh, yeah. We are looking for dancers and feedback!"

     Go get 'em.
