Brother-sister duo Arrgh!drey is still in its infancy and therefore haven't had too many "OMG" moments - except for that one night at the now-closed Ambrosia Café in McAllen. Arrgh!drey was opening for White Zebra, but their set lasted longer than they expected. The place was so packed, people were sitting on the floor. "It was such a comfortable atmosphere," Audrey Scott said . "And people kept asking for more songs." The band played their entire set list, including originals and covers, to satisfy the crowd.

WHY THEY'LL BE FAMOUS Audrey and Cameron Scott are young, talented and enthusiastic. They're just having fun right now, but they might have formed their band at just the right moment, especially with the growing popularity of indie rock duo She & Him. They have that classic sibling relationship that would be hard to break out on the road and could weather the craziness of fame and fortune.
BREAKOUT STAR Cameron doesn't even acknowledge himself as the star in any way in this band. Audrey takes it, hands down, he said. She's goofy, jokes with the audience, has fun with her music and, according to her brother, all the guys say she's hot. At this comment, Audrey just giggles.
'09 PLANS Audrey is attending college in San Marcos and Cameron is still in high school in McAllen. Getting together for shows or recording can be difficult, but they're making it work. Audrey drives down as often as she can to perform gigs in the RGV and they're currently saving money to record. "We want to record an EP with Charlie (Vela, a local producer)," said Audrey.
THE FUTURE
They have the energy. They have the drive. And they're bursting with passion. If someone recognizes them, they might be touring the country's coffeehouses this summer.
