Curfue (sic) is the "B" side of an obscure 1964 single ("A" side - Oasis) recorded by The Scavengers, an instrumental band from Grand Rapids, Mich. According to the Grand Rapid Rocks website, the members of the group were Wayne VanDam, lead guitar; George Pawlowski, drums; George Snider, bass; and George Lake, rhythm guitar.
Curfue
A copy of the Oasis/Curfue single sold for $44 on eBay in 2011. This release appears to constitute the entire catalogue of this Michigan band. There was at least one other mid-1960s instrumental group called The Scavengers, but they were based in California.
Three of the band members are still alive. George Laker played rhythm guitar for the Scavengers, who were from Wayland Michigan area. George Laker is now a Bluegrass musician playing with the bluegrass band "Out of the Blue". Wayne VanDam now lives on a farm in Ionia Michigan. George Snider lives in Sault Ste Marie Michigan and has his own Radio Show.
